Our fall plants are rooting in, getting ready to be transplanted to their new garden home in September and October.

When grown from seed, most native perennials do not flower in their first season. By planting in the fall, you gain the advantage of plants that will emerge naturally in the spring, producing a robust phase of growth prior to flowering at the natural time. We encourage the use of small plants in the home landscape because they are affordable, easy to plant, and equally useful for filling small gaps or covering a large area.

The biggest challenge for gardeners when it comes to planting plugs is the waiting—waiting out the first season with few plants flowering. Our nursery absorbs that time into our production schedule, so you can start with small plants in fall and experience a bountiful garden the next spring without all the waiting.

Plan your garden now and reserve your plants before fall settles in.

Plants often sell out quickly in fall and we understand how frustrating it can be to try and find the specific plants you want. Simply place an advance order in our online shop and choose your pickup date and location at checkout. In September, you will receive an email reminder when your order is ready for pickup. Orders will be packed and labeled by last name.

Some of the species we produce are not available for advance ordering. These plants will be available on our retail benches in September, when they can be ordered off our weekly availability, or purchased at our farm during your pickup window hours.

Any orders that are not picked up on the selected date will be held for one week before plants are returned to available inventory. We do not offer refunds for any orders that are not picked up.

Occasionally, our fall crops fall a little behind schedule. We will communicate with you as soon as possible if there are any changes to your order. We can make recommendations for appropriate substitutions or offer a full refund for any plants that are not ready by the selected pick-up date.
