Stock Update

On the perennial native side, we’ve brought in a huge selection of new plants and we’re growing more from seed. All are U.S. natives and nearly all are Ohio natives. We have about 40 beautiful grasses ub sticj (including only 3-4 cultivars)! We have four stunning native honeysuckles, as well as the native wisteria.  Many of these natives are in full bloom now, so come have a look! We also have native shrubs, vines, and trees.

We have expanded our selection this ear to include products from Baker’s Creek, Thyme Garden, Ohio Prairie, as well as more expanded selections from Renee’s, SeedSavers, and High Mowing.

The Last of the Miserable Construction

When last we updated, the road construction on Mayfield Rd. was mostly done, but now the last vestiges finally seem have cleared away! We’re doing our happy dance!

Sometimes We Remember to Garden Too!

We’ve on working on our own garden here at the store with a mind to creating a display that is all at once interesting, educational, good for pollinators and, hey, while we’re at it, nice to look at!  We’ve picked out a nice spot by our parking lot and planted a variety of friends, many of them raised from seed at the store: we have 4 kinds of Amaranth, and an beautiful grain used in the old world for food. One of the plants also supplies a red dye. All are pretty darned showy.

In this garden, we also have South African daisies; blue and black Nigella; Job’s Tears, the round pods of which can be used for jewelry; twenty-nine different sages, including Chia; three climbing Nasturtiums; two trumpet flowers; two horehounds; some crazy daisies; several Asian basils; and a partridge in a pear tree.

Thanks for reading, and we look forward to seeing you at the store soon!
