GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE AVAILABLE
The year 2010 is our 10th year as an Open Garden—our 9th as an AHS Display Garden–and we’re optimistic that we’ll see many more bloom seasons ahead. We owe a great deal of thanks to all of you who have encouraged us and supported our efforts. You’re the reason we are here and we’ll do everything possible to keep earning your trust and support. If you’re not happy, we’re not happy.
We’ve been blessed with good weather again this year. We’ve had ample rain (which the daylilies love) and seem to have broken the long-standing drought.
We’re a small community nursery with the personal touch. Our customers deserve nothing less. All plants are freshly dug by Steve or me. We intend for our web site to be primarily an educational tool for the novice gardener just getting started in their love of the daylily. The Photo Gallery contains well over 2,000 images of various daylilies ranging from the older classics to the newer introductions of nationally known hybridizers. Please note that we do not presently stock every single cultivar represented in the Photo Gallery. See the Price List link to match pictures with available stock. Just click on the cultivar name in the Price List for a picture to appear. We attempt to enlarge our Photo Gallery every year because someone is always looking for an image of a particular daylily and we’re glad to share. Although many of the pictures are not professional in quality, we hope that in thumbing through the images you will be able to see how hybridizing has evolved from the simple self of years ago to the intriguing patterned eyes, ornate edges and ruffles of today. The daylily of the new millennium is more than just a pretty face.
Because we are a small community nursery, many of the cultivars in our Price list are new and extremely limited. Orders are filled on a first come/first served basis. You may wish to order early (i.e. during the winter months for spring delivery) for the best selection.
We hope you enjoy navigating through this site and that you are inspired to visit our garden often during bloom season. We can promise you that no two bloom days are the same—each visit is a new experience! We don’t have growling guard dogs or vicious animals. We do have a cat named Brother Harold (affectionately named after our former Pastor) who loves to greet visitors, ride the golf cart and supervise our weeding and digging. We have a few rabbits and deer that (so far) have not been very destructive. The only noise is from the songbirds (including Purple Martins), fish jumping in the koi pond, the wind chimes in the pavilion and the passing trains on the back side of the property. Bring your camera and take home a memory.
Steve and Karen Newman
