Hear Ye Hear Ye Hear Ye!
Seeders take note: I'm entering all new seed accessions on a list entitled "SIGNIFICANT SEED UPDATES" on this homepage (of course, you could also see it all by clicking "NEW SEEDS" on the purple bar, above). Anyway, the new species get added at the top of the list and then they fall off the bottom, either because I don't understand HTML or because the seed is already SOLD OUT. Do not let this happen to you! Keep scrolling down. There is some great stuff down there, I promise you!
Below, find the GREEN LIST of all POTTED PLANTS AND TREES for sale, all organically grown at our state certified nursery, all ready right now. To order, use the onsite search engine or click on the "plants" link on the purple bar above. The reason I'm keeping the green list here on this page is because it supports searchability from the search engines and is an easy quick-reference for you.
