Wichita Valley ...
We strive to produce most of our nursery
stock ourselves. Each year we collect seed and make cuttings
from plants found in the local area. We believe we can gain
the advantage of having superior genetics by doing this. When
we buy plants for resale we buy from from local growers in
Texas and Oklahoma. We do not buy plants from Florida, California,
or from large companies who mass produce plants. We are also
proud to have many heirloom varieties that our friends have
shared with us.

Growing Methods ...
You'll notice our pots are heavy.
That's because we mix compost with sandy loam soil from
the Wichita River. This means that the plants you buy
from us will experience less shock when transplanted to
your landscape. Lightweight
nursery mixes require more work on your part when transplanted
into heavier local soil.
We use no fertilizers to produce lush growth. Plants can
become dependent upon or "addicted" to regular
doses of high nitrogen. This can make them hard to become
established in average soils. We settle instead for a
slower growth rate to sell you a much tougher plant.
