Sometimes plants serve a purpose other than flowering. Do you need color in that hot dry sandy location?

Silver Mound Artemisia
Artemisia schmidtiana Silver Mound

• Soft, feathery foliage and forms a compact, silky, cushion-like mound

• Brings fascinating color and texture to your perennial bed; consider using for edging or in/around a dry rock stack

• 8” H x 12” W

• Grow in hot, dry poor soil in full sun

• Trim back in late spring to rejuvenate the foliage

• Deer & Rabbit Resistant!

We lost both of our 100' hoop houses this week. Both are a total loss. We'll recover, but a big punch to the gut. Thanks to all those that have called or texted. I appreciate you. A special thanks to Cedar Handy Man and Plowing for pulling my truck out and plowing my entrance. There are a lot of good people out there willing to help when you need it.

Next time you drive by, you'll notice we're expanding our tree area! More sizes and varieties!

12/10/2025

I'm often asked about purchasing smaller, grow out sized shrubs and trees in large quantities. Most folks want them for wind breaks or naturalizing their property. I've compiled a long list of shrubs and trees I'll have available in the spring. This will be a preorder sale only! Most are familiar with seedling sized plants. What I'm offering are larger, better rooted specimens for direct planting or for grow out in pots.

If this interests you, drop me a note at [email protected] and I'll forward the list to you.

Merry Christmas to All!

We locally grow perennials, shrubs, and trees in the Leelanau, Grand Traverse area.

Water your Evergreens Now!!

Whenever I sell evergreens to a customer, I recommend deep watering them going into winter - especially when we have a dry fall. These are the exact conditions I'm describing! I know your hoses are put away and the irrigation system is drained. Grab a 5 gallon bucket and give them a good drink. Really, it's a good idea for all your shrubs. The rain we've had this fall has been sporadic and very light. Your evergreens will thank you in the spring with no or reduced browning and/or needle die back.

Please share this with young people in your life. There are fantastic opportunites in horticulture! Even great jobs in Michigan.
