Garden Nurseries
Daylilies
I enjoy searching through online garden nurseries, particularly those with mail-order services. If you're as obsessed as I am with gardening, you'll be happy to read the catalogues for hours, even if bio-security restrictions mean there's no possibility of purchasing anything!
Be aware that different countries and states have differing bio-security rules before setting your heart on a wish-list. And check out the very special nurseries that I've been lucky enough to visit in person.
Special Nurseries
Abriachan- This beautiful nursery and open garden is a must-visit for anyone travelling in Scotland. I've been there!
Bressingham Gardens- A delightful garden in the UK with island beds, a nursery - and a beautiful garden-stay bed and breakfast.
New Zealand & Australian Nurseries
Wildflower World- I enjoy receiving Wildflower World's colourful catalogues (both on-line and in the post), and checking out the seasonal specials in their newsletters. You'll find seed packages for every type of ground area, and plenty of inspiring photographs.
North American Nurseries
Guildwood Cannas- Guildwood Cannas & Tropical Plants has lots of info about growing tropical plants and an online nursery based in Canada.
Nature Hills Nursery- An online nursery that offers trees, shrubs, perennials, fruit trees, rose bushes, and much more to customers across the United States.
Sunshine Farm and Gardens- I love this site, even though I can't technically buy anything! Barry's gardens are on a mountain top in West Virginia, and he has 'rare and exceptional plants for the discriminating gardener and collector'. That should make all gardeners who visit him feel valued! And a serious plant breeder who lets his dog relax in the Hellebores gets my vote. Thanks, Barry.
