We update our inventory on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see everything as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring offerings will generally have more herbaceous perennials, grasses, etc and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find what you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Carpathian Walnut
Carpathian Walnut
Juglans Regia
Most of us are familiar with the Black Walnut of our region… It has a bad wrap as putting out toxic compounds that hurt other plants and has a nut that is nearly impossible to access… The Carpathian Walnut, on the other hand, is the ‘English Walnut’ we are familiar with and love that you can buy at the store. Easy to crack, huge amounts of nut meat, incredibly tasty. These trees are grown out from parentage sourced in Niagra County NY. The nuts can be cracked bare handed (with strong hands)! Full, fresh, satisfying, rich nuts abound from this hardy and stately tree. All this and without the juglone (or at least very little), the compound that inhibits the growth of other plants. Great way to enjoy nourishing and satisfying nuts throughout the winter, if you can get them before the squirrels!
