The cooler fall weather makes it a great time to plant perennials, trees, and shrubs!

In addition to heirloom plants, we sell many plants native to our region that are beautiful and support the local insect, bird, and wildlife population.

The General's Choice Plant Line

The exclusive General's Choice line features plants propagated from seeds or cuttings collected from plants growing on George Washington's estate.
