Kate and crew did a splendid job of spiffing up our perennials that had been neglected for years. Heck, they outright rescued them. Now that we have rejuvenated our beds they will come back on a regular schedule to keep everything in tip-top shape. Very friendly, hard working crew. Kate gave us good advice and answered our many questions. Highly recommend.

We have known Kate for over ten years and we shop at her nursery every year. We were just there a few days ago buying a Lilly and some lavender plants. Parking is very tight. Try to use the few spaces in the lot on the street. There is no parking on the dirt road between the house and gardens. The gardens are beautiful in mid-summer (now). She has a wide selection of flowering plants and herbs.
All of them are selected for the cold climate of northern Vermont. It is a beautiful walk to just walk through the gardens. If you go back out to the dirt road you can cross the bridge (2 minute walk) and visit the Lilly garden on the other side. When they are all in bloom, it is an explosion of color. Be sure to check out the river banks and slopes.
Those are a mixture of Vermont wild flowers and flowers that Kate planted. Most of the plants are for sale. She will dig plants and sell them if she doesn't have them in pots.
