Outdoor Plants

Perennials 

We buy the majority of our perennials and herbs from a third generation grower in nearby Germantown. Most of them are "field grown" (not greenhouse grown), which means that they have been started outdoors in the same type of soil we all have in our gardens. They haven't been babied in a warm greenhouse and won't go into shock when transplanted. They'll be tough as can be when it comes to our Wisconsin winter.

Rose Bushes 

In order to stay up-to-date with new varieties we now have 4 growers for rose bushes:Weeks, Jackson & Perkins, Bailey's and Monrovia. Mother Nature plays a big roll in the hardiness of rose bushes in our area. There are many lower maintenance, hardy varieties that make rose growing easier than ever.

Hanging Baskets

A small grower near Madison is our major supplier for hanging baskets. They love to try new varieties and always come up with outstanding combinations of Proven Winner® plants. The husband and wife owners personally plant every single basket. If you've ever been here on the days they arrive you know what an amazing sight the sea of colorful baskets is. They also grow most of our beautiful 4" potted annuals.

Shrubs

Each year we fill our Arbor area with top quality container grown shrubs from some of the best nurseries. We choose from the top varieties from Monrovia, Bailey's and others.

Geraniums 

Our geraniums come from a second generation grower in Oostburg. We have been buying from this greenhouse for over 40 years. They specialize in geraniums and grow hundreds of thousands each year. They know what they're doing!
They deliver every few days so we always have fresh plants available.

Annuals, Veggies and Herbs

There is an area in southwestern Michigan that is home to many huge greenhouse ranges where annuals, veggies, baskets, patio pots etc. are grown. We check these out every year to find the best plants available. Plants arrive every 2 or 3 days.
