Question 1

Do you have aquatic plants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do! I would give them a ring to see exactly what species. They are super helpful and knowledgeable about all the plants. Much Luck to you!

Question 2

I'm looking for a lemon tree, do y'all have those?

Accepted Answer

Not sure where to find plumeria. It's not something we carry.

Question 3

DO you have fruit trees i can plant in my back yard.

Accepted Answer

Yes, we carry a curated selection of fruit trees that are suitable for our climate zone. Figs, pomegranates, persimmons, and more depending on the season and availability. Our stock changes very frequently, so come on in to check out what we have.

Question 4

Can I drop compost here?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Alex-
We don't have a composting facility here. You may want to contact Compost Now or Trees Atlanta or a local farmer to see if they have space where you might donate compost. Cheers!

Question 5

Hey, do they have Bee Balm,Serum, and Aster ? I'm looking to use them for my school project.

Accepted Answer

Yep, we usually have bee balm, sedum, and aster in stock. Heads-up that we may be closing early on Friday and Saturday this week due to the extreme heat. We'll post an update on our Instagram account if that happens. Hope to see you in the nursery soon!

Question 6

Do they sell native species?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 7

I live in midtown Atlanta with overhanging trees. It appears that the varieties of milkweed that are most likely to prosper with reduced sunlight are swamp & purple, and to a lesser extent, whorled & white. Will you have those?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Jeff! We can count on getting Asclepias tuberosa and usually we can get Asclepias incarnata. Sometimes we get Asclepias curassavica.

All milkweed is going to want at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, so as the trees leaf back out, keep an eye on your yard and see which areas get that amount of light.

Side note about availability: milkweed is often a little late to break dormancy, so we usually don't get it in stock until at least April. It needs warm soil temps to break dormancy. We usually have it available from mid- to late April through the summer.

Question 8

I am looking to provide some milkweed for Monarch butterflies.  I understand that to grow from seed takes at least a year.  Do you have milkweed plants for sale, and if so, what variety(ies)?  I have a mostly shaded environment.  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Hi, Jeff-
Three cheers for helping the monarchs! We will have milkweed plants available in mid- to late spring (usually late April/early May). They are a little later to break dormancy than some perennials, which is why they aren't available in, say, March. (Side note: if you do find them available for sale before April, they were likely grown in a heated greenhouse. Be wary of those. They will get nipped badly we have a late frost.)

Milkweed needs full to part sun - a minimum of 4 hours of good, direct sun. If your yard doesn't have that, there are still plenty of plants you can grow to support pollinators and wildlife. We have an entire shade/woodland section at our nursery and would love to introduce you to some things that would thrive in your light conditions and contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Come on in!

Question 9

Do you have arisaema plants or lady slippers?

Accepted Answer

Hi, and thanks for your question - those are both great plants! At the moment we don't have any arisaema in stock. It's hard to get; we only see it available from our growers on a very limited basis, usually in late spring/early summer. So far this year there hasn't been any available. Re: lady slippers, we have actually never carried those. You may want to try Lady Slipper Nursery (I think they're in Woodstock) for those. Happy gardening!

Question 10

Do you have any eucalyptus plants?

Accepted Answer

Hi, there!  We had three different varieties about a month ago, but now we're sold out. Hopefully we'll be able to get some a little later this spring.

Question 11

indoor ficus tree

Accepted Answer

We have one called 'Audrey' which is different from what people usually think of when they think of ficus. The one most people think of is Benjamina, but we don't have any of those at the moment.

Question 12

Do you have Sago Palms?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Theresa-
We don't carry sago palms. They are tropical and often don't survive the winters here in Atlanta. You may be able to find some for sale in the houseplant sections of other garden centers.

On a side note, please be aware that sago palms are extremely toxic to dogs. Ingesting even a small amount can cause life-threatening illness.

Question 13

Do you have tomato plants?

Accepted Answer

They do, in season.  Including some heirlooms.

Question 14

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

Accepted Answer

They require appointments to shop (which are only 30 minutes each so don't be late), masks and it's all outdoors except a small area with indoor plants and payment.

Question 15

Do they have landscaping/landscaping design workshops?

Accepted Answer

We do! We held classes almost every weekend before COVID. We haven't restarted our schedule just yet, but once the vaccine is more widely available and we can safely gather in small groups, we will definitely offer classes again. The best way to hear about them is to get on our email list and/or follow us on Instagram.

Question 16

Do you have Lawsonia inermis plant?

Accepted Answer

Henna is such an interesting plant! I wish we carried it. We simply don't have a regional source for it. You may want to see if it's available from a reputable mail-order plant nursery. If you do find some, remember that it's a tropical and needs to be kept indoors in very bright light until temps are above 45 degrees. Good luck in your search!

Question 17

Do they have Cacti ?

Accepted Answer

I'm there now, and it doesn't appear they do. But check back because inventory changes. They do have yucca plants

Question 18

do you have broccoli plants ?

Accepted Answer

Last time I was there about two weeks ago they said they expected the veggie plants soon. I would try calling... they're very responsive.

Question 19

Where to buy clayey sand

Accepted Answer

Hmmmm, not entirely sure. I would suggest perhaps trying a landscape supply company (a place like our friends at Cummin Landscape on Memorial Dr) or a building supply company.

Question 20

Do you have the eucalyptus that you can hang in you shower or know where I could purchase some?

Accepted Answer

We don't have any eucalyptus plants in stock at the moment. If you're looking for cut stems, try a florist or the State Farmer's Market.
