Open Hours, Shipping Update, and SALE!

 OPEN HOURS 

The nursery will be open starting May 3rd! Our hours for the season can be found here. I'm considering this a soft open. Not everything is ready yet; some things are still emerging from dormancy, some new items are still getting some size, and some things it's just too cold for yet. We're also trying to source some annuals for our local customers and hopefully will have some by Mother's Day. But there will be plenty to see and buy this weekend. Our open days and hours for the season can be found under the hours, education, and events section, and we're always open by appointment. 

SHIPPING UPDATE

We will be starting to ship orders starting next week. Orders go out based on date received and readiness of the plants. Some plants won't be ready until mid June, but I've tried to mention that in their descriptions as much as possible. Some plants are still emerging from dormancy and those orders will ship when the plants are ready. 

If you need your order by a specific date or you want to avoid shipping around a specific date, just let us know and we'll accommodate you as best as we can. If you've placed multiple orders and paid multiple shipping charges, orders will ship together (unless requested otherwise) and shipping will be refunded. As noted in our previous email, we had some significant losses this winter, so there will likely be refunds as we start shipping orders. 

ANNIVERSARY SALE!

2025 is the nursery's 15th anniversary! We'll be running 15% off select plants every month through the season. This month the featured plants will be Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', Hosta 'Because of Art', and Epimedium x rubrum.

2025 Catalog is LIVE!!!

Happy New Year! Our spring catalog for 2025 is now LIVE! We will likely add a few more things as we get closer to spring, so keep an eye here, on our social media, or your email if you're on our mailing list.

 

2025 Catalog Update!

2025 will mark our 15th anniversary! We will find some creative ways to celebrate our anniversary in the coming year, so stay tuned for information about that. We'll be getting our in person sales dates finalized and on the site as dates get finalized. 

The catalog is more or less up to date, ordering will go live on January 1st 2025 like normal, and shipping will begin in May and peak in June as weather allows. Keep in mind that we're in northern Wisconsin and it can be frozen here into May; this means that some years we don't start shipping until June. 

We have a lot of cool new plants and some that haven't been available for quite some time. We've had a lot of people ask about plants for sunnier locations, especially at our open nursery events, so we've added some! Many of these plants are very limited and we expect them to sell out.

Catalog Opens January 1st!

It's everyone's favorite time of winter: CATALOG TIME! I'm certainly always excited about other nurseries' catalogs, I hope some people are excited for ours. The website is more or less up to date and online ordering will go live on January 1st. We have a bunch of new and returning plants as usual. We have some more US native plants, which is usually requested. We love natives and our selection waxes and wanes a bit based on a bunch of factors, but we do try to include some every year. Also as usual, we will add more as we get closer to spring. We'll likely do a restock on witch hazels as they've been popular and I continue to love them, watch for that section to get updated in March. We may also add some native woodland ephemerals as spring nears, this will be based on availability and how our spring weather is. 

We're finalizing events and open weekends and will update that section soon. If you have a vending event in the midwest or you need a speaker to talk about random plant things, please contact us!
