Good morning all! Just a quick reminder that we are now closed for the season, but are available by appointment through the month of October.
This past week we’ve been spending time collecting seeds to winter sow for next season’s perennial crop.
Many perennials grown here at the nursery are grown from seed sources on site or from other locations around the Monadnock area, as opposed to shipping plants from other regions. We aim to grow plants that are better adapted to our regional climate and weather conditions, and build resiliency within these species.
Our hope is that by next season, we will have enough seed sources to start having seeds available to purchase by the public.
Please let us know what species you all would like to see in stock for next season .

I wanted to share this well written article from Ashely Saari and our local paper.
We continue to raise awareness of how we can improve our local ecosystems and provide the necessary support for our native insects and wildlife. We want to give a huge shoutout to landowners that host these amazing plants and help contribute to building healthy habitats in our Monadnock region.

Gardens across New Hampshire are transforming into native havens to combat the loss of billions of birds and vital pollinators.

Good morning all!
We are keeping a close eye on the weather today. We are currently open but may close later this afternoon if the weather worsens. Tomorrow (9/27) we will be closed for the day. If you are looking to do some end of the season plant shopping come visit us this morning! All perennials are 20% off through the rest of the season. Stay dry and enjoy the cozy rainy weekend 🌸☔️

Vibrant yellow flowers for our Sunday rain day.
Showy Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) blooms later than most goldenrods and is certainly one of the showiest!
This goldenrod is not aggressive but can flop without other vegetative support it, or as mentioned you may give it the Chelsea chop to prevent that 🌼

Here’s a garden story 🌱
As you enter any garden you are entering a new relationship. Some will grow, flourish and evolve and others may fail if the right conditions and compatibilities are not met.
This garden that we started 2 years ago was a big unknown. The homeowners were undergoing major home renovations and had hired a landscape designer from Massachusetts for the design. The design called for numerous species that we would not usually use but we were given the opportunity to add some of our own selections too.
As we have now entered the second year we are thrilled we took this project on and have seen this garden grow into a carbon sucking, insect supporting and visually stunning piece of natural art.
We have begun making edits and have experienced heavy deer browsing. Where some plants have failed we will continue adding in our native species selections.
