Links - Nurseries

We don't link to lots of folks, only some of the best and most specialized sites.


Cistus Nursery
A great source of really rare and cool stuff.

Far Reaches Farm
Another great source of really rare and cool stuff.

Moss Acres
Need Moss? Yes, there is mail order moss available from the folks at Benner’s Gardens, who brought us black deer netting. I hope they made enough money on the netting to support the moss business, but it’s a cool idea.

NC Directory of Certified Nurseries and Plant Collectors
This compilation by the NC Department of Agriculture is a wonderful resource to locate and contact nurseries within NC.

Pine Knot Farms
Our friends Dick and Judith Tyler of Pine Knot Farms in Virginia are indeed hellebore crazy. They travel to England every year and buy the best of the new hellebores for propagation and sale, as well as hybridize their own. Their website has some nice photos of the new hybrids.

Terra Nova Introductions
You've heard us mention Terra Nova many times, so find out more about them. Plant breeder Dan Heims and the rest of his Oregon based entourage have been responsible for most of the recent breeding efforts in pulmonaria, heuchera, and tiarella. This amazing site is full of color photos of these and many other TN introductions.

The Orchid Trail - Closed
John and Ruth Stanton of Morrisville, NC have purchased the old Blooming Orchid location. If you are in the Triangle area and needs orchids, or need babysitting facilities for your non-blooming plants, contact John or Ruth.

Yucca Do Nursery - Closed
Our good friends at Yucca Do Nursery are now going with their wonderful new website. For the best selection of southwest/Mexican natives, this is one of the true horticultural treasures in the country.
