Xeriscaping!
By July the comment we hear most is, "Yes it's very pretty, but I don't want to water another d%$# thing." Xeriscaping is a type of gardening that minimizes or eliminates the need to water! Beautiful landscapes can be achieved by planting the right plants - native varieties and drought-tolerant that also promote biodiversity. Done right, these gardens can reduce summer water bills by 60%, and also require much less maintenance!
Come learn about xeriscaping and enjoy Lee's lunch of Vegetarian Chili and Linzertorte!

Who We Are

Sometimes folks come visit and ask us, "When are your geraniums (for example) coming in?"  They don't realize that we grow 75% of what we offer!​
In Winter we start filling plug trays with seed, carefully trying to prod them into plants that are big enough to transplant.  (We are also seed-savers!)
Lots of larger plants we raise from cuttings, Julio, our greenhouse manager, is a master of coaxing out beautiful plants.
We are very proud of NOT being a mechanized, computer run nursery.  We hand water water and love on our plants!
So come see us work and play!

We're always glad to help!

Things being what they are this Christmas
One of the nicest gifts you can give is a gift certificate from The Garden!  For any amount: we will do a hand calligraphy certificate, put it in the Christmas card of your choosing, and mail it ourselves!  You can even do this over the phone!
This is a great gift for novice to advanced gardeners, backyard farmers, or folk who want to improve their landscapes.  We have houseplants for shut-ins or those who have no yard.
Giving a gift certificate also expresses one of the messages of the season: Have hope, Have faith, Spring is not so far away, and is coming soon!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at The Garden!
