Inventory Update #4
It's been another big week for incoming plants! Most of the new plants for this year are now here; we're still waiting on Hellebores and a few odds and ends. In the next couple of weeks (if weather cooperates and gives us enough sun!) we should be able to start updating inventory on plants that have been overwintered here at the nursery. The following plants are now available in the store:
Aesculus glabra 'JN Select' EARLY GLOW™

Inventory Update #3
This week's inventory update is smaller. I just had hernia surgery yesterday, and I'm pretty sore today! Hopefully I can get back to planting next week, but I'll be limited to 10lbs for at least a month.
New plants added:
Iris cristata 'Powder Blue Giant'
Next week should have a bit more of an update, including some woody plants and succulents!

Inventory Update #2
Our second inventory update is live, and this is much bigger than the first update. Some plants in the hoop house from last year look good, but we won't make them available until they're actively growing. Orders placed now will ship in May or June.
Added to inventory and available to order now:
Epimedium wushanense 'Sandy Claws'
Epimedium x omeiense 'Akame' aka 'Rigoletto'
Geranium pratense 'Boom Chocolatta'
Polygonatum odoratum 'Ruby Slippers'

Now OPEN!
Our first shipments of plants arrived last week and our first round of website updates is done! This means you can start to order some plants; though we're only enabling ordering for plants as they arrive or come out of dormancy. Industry-wide shortages are going to be a thing for awhile and availability status can change last minute and we'd rather do as little refunding as possible. So as we update the store, we'll post updates here as well. The biggest round of updates should happen late next week.
Here's the list of plants that are available for purchase now:
Anemone 'Apanfarrh' FANTASY™ RED RIDING HOOD PP28799
Dicentra spectablis 'Hordival' VALENTINE™
Helleborus WINTER JEWELS® Apricot Blush

2022 Update
I tentatively have the website up to date with new additions for 2022. I'm still waiting on a couple of order confirmations and may add a few more items yet in the coming weeks. And of course we will probably add some items closer to spring. You can view all current new items here and I have a list of items down below. We still have ordering disabled for the time being though. We've had to do a lot of refunding and order adjustment the last two years because of winter mortality and industry shortages. This makes a lot of extra behind the scenes work for us both, and NOBODY likes getting order cancellations. So to limit that we'll be taking orders a little bit later than normal and activating certain items as we know they've come through winter alive or as they arrive here. This means we'll lose out on some early sales to our competition, but at least we'll have higher customer satisfaction. In the mean time, we do offer gift certificates and apparel!
Which brings me to my next point. A HUGE thank you to all of our customers who have continued to place orders over the years. Especially the last 2 years in the face of ridiculous adversity due to health crises. For almost two months this year my outlook for the future was pretty grim. But things are looking ok. I'm going through chemo, and it seems to be working. This treatment is much better than what I went through in 2020. I have some side effects every month which will impact my workflow next season, but it's not too severe and I don't expect shipping to be negatively impacted.
