We will be holding a plant sale weekend on Saturday and Sunday, September 21 and 22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All plants will be 20% off! If you have any gaps in your gardens, or are looking for more native plants that you didn’t get earlier in the season, come and see us! Check our website for our current plant availability. As we prepare for the sale, we will not have open business hours during the preceding weekends in September. However, we will still be open by appointment! Send an email to JosephDRussell84@gmail.com or call/text my cell phone at (609) 287-0596 to set up a visit to the nursery!

We have a dill muncher! Black swallowtail caterpillars (Papilio polyxenes) use a variety of plants from the carrot family (Apiaceae) as their host plant (carrots, dill, fennel, etc.). We didn’t really get any dill for ourselves this year... if you’re looking for a native host plant for black swallowtails, Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea) and other Zizia species will provide food for them, and it’s been said that they seem to prefer the Golden Alexander over other culinary herbs in the plant family, so if you plant it you may get to enjoy your dill or fennel! We carry Golden Alexander in quart sized pots!
