Frittillary on Butterfly milkweed

We sell plants in the spring (March-June) and again in the fall (September-October.) Most of our perennials are grown from seed at our nursery. Tree and shrub seedlings are sourced from the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s Saratoga Tree Nursery. We have also obtained some plants from wholesalers NorthCreek, New Moon, Mid Atlantic Natives, and Hardscrabble Farms.

We grow and sell our plants in topsoil rather than potting mix. We find they do well and grow strong in regular soil. The majority of our plants spend six months to a year outside before being potted in CowPots or re-used plastic pots, and offered to you for sale. Because our plants are grown outdoors rather than in a greenhouse, they are ready to be replanted as soon as you buy them.

We are open for browsing during two in-person sales, one in the spring and the other in the fall. The rest of the season, customers can place orders through our online store (opening April 30) and schedule a pick-up time at the nursery (Cortlandt Manor, NY).

We close sales for July and August, and reopen in September for a fall season.

Anticipated plant list for the online store, open April 30

(Some of these will be available as soon as the store opens, and some later in the season)
