We’re a nano-nursery in Southeastern New England with an increasingly anachronistic horticultural approach: actively collecting, propagating and growing plants.  We focus on the under- cultivated and garden-worthy, and specialize in unusual perennials. We’re also breeding and selecting plants from diverse genera such as Kniphofia, Sanguisorba, Hydrangea, and Bergenia.

Kniphofia ‘Nose Job’ (pauciflora x ‘Toffee Nosed’)

We’re open strictly by appointment. As usual, though, we’ll be attending some regional plant fairs.   In May, we’ll be in Maryland at Ladew Gardens’ Garden Festival, and we’ll again be at Trade Secrets  in Connecticut, as well as part of a special Mother’s Day garden event at Sakonnet Garden in Rhode Island.  In June, we’ll be back at the North Hill Symposium in Vermont, and in July we’ll be back at Sakonnet for their symposium. Other dates and venues will be added here as they are confirmed. We are always happy to bring along specific plants, if so requested.
