We grow many of the plants we sell. We specialize in trees and shrubs that are well suited to this area and are low maintenance. Choosing the right plant for the right place is critical to success. We try to steer customers away from plants that are likely to have pest or disease problems. Deer are also a huge problem in our area. We carry a variety of deer resistant plants and can advise you about products to reduce damage done by browsing and rubbing of antlers.

GOLD MEDAL PLANT AWARD
Since its inception in 1978, the Gold Medal Plant Award program of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has recognized woody plants of outstanding merit. The program was originally conceived by Dr. J. Franklin Styer, noted nurseryman, who realized homeowners and gardeners needed to learn about superior woody plants for their landscapes. These plants, often under-used, are evaluated and chosen for their superb eye-appeal, performance, and hardiness in the growing region of Zones 5-7. Many winners are hardy in a much broader range.
When a gardener acquires a plant designated a Gold Medal winner, he or she can be assured the plant will exhibit standards of excellence for disease and pest resistance, as well as ease of growing, when planted and maintained by recommended methods. Gold Medal Plants are also chosen for appeal through many seasons, whether it be foliage, flower, form or bark.
