Welcome to our reasonably complete (Continually upgrading) list of the plants
growing in our gardens. Last updated: Sept. 10, 2010

A: Annual | BA: Bi annual | P: Perennial | HP: Herbaceous Perennial | DP: Deciduous Perennial.

If we have seeds or plants available from the list, the hyperlink on the right will take to you to the page on our main site.

If the name has no link, that is because:
- we either have only small amounts of seed that may be available.
- they are difficult to strike from seed and we don't want to set anyone up for failure.
- the plants are not old enough to produce huge quantities of viable seed.
- we just have not had time to list them yet.
- it is not legal to sell them.
