We're open and taking orders in 2024!

Our 2024 plant list is now online!

We'll be back at the Four Mile Run Farmers' Market starting Sunday, March 17th,
with both preorders and a display of plants for sale.

The market is at 4109 Mt. Vernon Avenue in Alexandria, just below S. Glebe Rd.,
on Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm. There is ample free parking! (The other vendors will return
in April.)

We offer free delivery to all Alexandria mailing addresses and all Northern Virginia locations
inside the Beltway. Call us for a delivery estimate outside that area. We're looking for other
pickup points throughout the area; if you have a commercial spot w/parking, let us know!

We will be attending all of our regular spring off-site plant sales. We will post our spring
plant show schedule as soon as it is finalized.

Meanwhile, you can place your orders by email or call us at (703) 683-4769.

We offer an outstanding range of native trees, shrubs, perennials, and
vines, including many unavailable elsewhere in the Washington area.

Our innovative approach to landscape design will:

  • Reduce maintenance
  • Protect our precious Chesapeake Bay watershed
  • Replace vanishing wildlife habitat, and
  • Transform your yard into a sanctuary of breathtaking beauty
