It’s That Time Again.

That phrase applies almost daily in this industry, doesn’t it? It’s always “that time” -- time to do the things you do this week every year. Everyone’s list is unique to their operation, and you probably have yours memorized.

But isn’t it also time to do something for the first time? Produce a crop you’ve never grown? Finally flip the switch on that category you’ve wanted to add?

Right now, “that time again” means this new online catalog. These pages hold something from each option: The perennial standards you absolutely must offer, the grasses, herbs and succulents you really should include, the new varieties that keep your selection fresh.

Our website can’t show you the infrastructure that brings you all the above -- the hardware and hard work that make our quality starters available every week, all year.

From our first few greenhouses in 1991, we’ve constantly improved and upgraded. Most recently, we took a large, logical, logistical step: Our largest growing range is now also our shipping point.

Combining production, holding and shipping facilities reduces handling and allows seamless product flow. Until their ticket is punched to your address, most starters spend their whole lives in the same location.

Yes, it’s that time -- again. And we’re ready for you, as always. First-time customer? Welcome! Familiar friend? Welcome back! And thank you for your business.
