Susanna Farm Nursery

Hi everyone! I wanted to do a post on my part time job. I’m working at Susanna Farm Nursery. We sell Rare and Dwarf Conifers. As well as Japanese Maples. It’s truly a beautiful place. Since being there I’ve had many customers tell me it’s better than the National Arboretum. One lady was even told by the Arboretum to come to us to find a tree she wanted. We are retail and sell to the trade professionals.

Hypertufa and concrete containers filled.

I have a chance to try to sell my containers. I’m working on the care sheets. I picked plants good for dry conditions. I still have a few big containers to fill. I’d love to hear what you think.

I almost don’t want to sell them. I’d really like to see the plants fill in and spill over the sides.

I’ve been busy lately but here’s some of what’s going on.

Not mine but boy do I like it.

Red and White

A long over due update. Not all the flowers are open in these photos. Now all the little booms have opened and I’ll get more Photos soon. I’ve also got succulents starting to bloom and I’ve been collecting little trees I find here and there. I’ll post all those eventually.

What colors will we get next?

The alpine plants have been fun. I don’t know what they are going to do. And I can’t remember what colors the flowers will be. So each day it’s fun to see what they are doing.

I have orchids from the clearance racks and a bunch of tillandsia’s. The big tillandsia is just amazing.

Alpine bloom is here…

Well one bloom so far. And it’s pointing down go figure. It does have another bloom coming next to it and the other little guy looks like it’ll be full of blooms.

Alpine Plant Update

It was nice enough to open the cold frame up. The two saxifraga’s are getting closer to blooming. I still hope the others do something this season, but this is exciting. Remember these are 3 inch pots. These plants are pretty small.

Plant Bench buried in Snow

We got a little snow last night and this morning. I think my plant bench is there some where…

Link to Original Post of Plant Bench

The front is about 3ft. tall so I’m guessing almost 2ft. of snow. I don’t think they are use to this around here. Back in Illinois this is just fun. I always loved going out and being the first to drive down country roads. But here I’ll stay in and play in the garage.

My best wishes to those who got hit harder, hang in there!!!
