Design & Skilled Maintenance for Sustainable Landscapes
Nursery Services
Since 1997 we have been growing and selling organic seedlings. As our business in these plants lies below the limit set for regulation by the USDA Organic Program, we are not certified organic producers, but rest assured that we are purists in our growing practices.
Please note that we cannot ship plants.
Vegetables
In the spring we custom grow vegetable seedlings for our clients. Please place your order by March 17 so that we have time to produce the quantities and varieties that you desire. After this date we will source plants from local organic farmers as required.
Annuals
For many years we grew over 50 different annuals from seed, including many heirloom varieties, for two local historic house gardens. With the growth of Pumpkin Brook, we had to curtail this activity, but still can't resist a few favorites for companion planting, to attract beneficial insects, and provide a living mulch. These are available by March 17 only. See list
Perennials/Shrubs
Pumpkin Brook maintains its own nursery of field-grown perennials and shrubs. Many perennials were started from seed years ago. Other perennials are raised from plugs or divisions. Often these plants are hard-to-find varieties that we stock to use in designs. Items are available all during the growing season. Please see attached list.
Seeds
Occasionally we have time for some seed saving from our own gardens, so please inquire about this possibility. A new crop of seeds is usually on hand in the fall.
