Plant list & seasonal notes
Right plant.
Right time.
A little advice.
Our outdoor selection follows the growing season. In November, the shop moves indoors to houseplants, seeds and planning for the next bed.

For our cold-winter area
What to plant, when.
March–April
Start seeds indoors only when the packet calls for it. Outside, wait until the soil is workable rather than frozen or soggy. Peas and lettuce tolerate cooler weather; follow the packet for sowing depth.
May–June
Plant perennials and shrubs when the soil is ready. Set tender annuals and beans outside after local frost risk has passed. Check the forecast and move indoor-grown plants outside gradually over several days.
September–October
Early fall can suit perennial and shrub planting while soil is workable. Leave several weeks before the ground usually freezes. Water after planting and check the soil through dry spells.
November–February
Leave frozen outdoor beds alone. Indoors, keep houseplants away from cold drafts and heating vents. Check the potting mix before watering; growth and water use often slow in winter.
Dates are a guide, not a planting deadline. Follow the plant tag and local conditions. Bring your location and a photo of the spot if you want help choosing.

Before you bring it home
How long can you hold a plant?
Once we confirm stock and a pickup day, a hold lasts through closing that day. Sale plants need pickup during January 14–16, 2027. A form request alone does not reserve stock.
Do you deliver or plant for me?
No. Holds are for pickup at the nursery. We explain planting depth and watering at the counter, and help you read the plant tag before you leave.
Is every plant grown here?
No. We grow some perennials from divisions and seed, and choose shrubs and houseplants from other growers. Ask us about a particular plant and we will tell you what we know.
Before you make the trip
Shall we check the bench?
Give us the plant name, pot size and quantity. We confirm stock and a pickup day before setting anything aside.
