Testimonials (unsolicited)


From our newsletters:


"I am referring my friend from Merritt, BC to your nursery.
I told them that you have an excellent variety of grasses and that they are easy to transport via mail.

Mine are looking spectacular in the Japanese garden in Edmonton (year 3 coming up)."

Shirley from Edmonton


"Thanks so much for the grasses this Spring. They, due to my uncle and aunt's diligent watering, are thriving. We are all excited to see them develop over the next years. I look forward to ordering from you again next year."

Tim Wooster in Minnesota


"I received the grass order yesterday afternoon and planted them early this morning. Please thank Jim for me on the substitution of the 12 small Fountain grasses to replace the one 4"4" grass I had ordered. It actually worked better for me, as I am trying to cover a big bank with short ornamental grasses, perennials and small, low bushes. It has been quite a task, but the grasses I ordered from you last year are so beautiful this year, I am looking forward to next year as it all starts to grow to maturity.


By the way, they were packed beautifully, the damp newspaper kept them fresh and plants did not move around in the box, so dirt/roots were intact. The grasses all looked fresh and had nice root system. I have just checked them and since I planted and watered them this morning, they look like they have always been there."

"I just wanted to let you know that the order you sent to us in Connecticut this spring has proven to be a great success. This is a pleasant surprise because very little attention was paid them. They were intended to become naturalistic plantings in one of our Parks and were simply stuck in the ground at various places. I’ve been patiently inspecting them and by and by they have all begun to bud. Pretty sturdy plants you gave us. Thank you."

Next on the agenda – ornamental grasses…

"I just wanted to update you. Our grass seed arrived just in time for us to sow it, and we now have a luxurious and beautiful green lawn. It really is rather amazing seed, and it germinated in exactly 7 days. Many neighbours have dropped by to comment on it.

Thanks again for your special effort in getting the seed to us quickly."

Lea, Quebec, Canada


"The Schizachyrium scoparium arrived in great shape, and we just finished planting today in the rain. I could not be more pleased with the product you sent -- the root development was just right, so the delay was worth it.....Thanks for all your help, Muriel, and for keeping me so well informed about the status of my shipment. I will certainly pass your nursery's name to other landscapers, especially since your product is superb. "

M. Leonard, Landscape designer and installer, Northampton, MA, USA


"Just thought I would let you know that my order arrived last Friday in excellent condition. Appreciated care you gave to the packaging. All potted up and happy."

Norm at Chamadaska Garden


"I received a phone call on the 2nd May saying my grass order had been shipped and i received them today, how's that for service, fantastic. They are very nice looking clumps too. I will send before and after photos as soon as i get them in and maybe some down the line when the grasses are more established and the roses are blooming."

"Thanks for great service, i have recommended and sent links of your website to all my gardening friends."

"The grasses arrived on Friday and are just great. I wanted you to know how pleased I was with the condition of all the grasses. They are in the ground and we are looking forward to watching them grow this summer and years to come."

"Thanks again."

Jerry Joanis


"Just writing to let you know that I received my order of Salix koriyanagi 'Rubikins' about two weeks ago -- they have all been planted and are doing very well. We have had huge rains here this week, and all of the rods are already showing new growth since planting. I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of the rods -- they arrived so healthy and are a huge step up over the rods I ordered from another nursery last year."

"After continuing creating the fedge on our land, we realized we need even more to complete it :) I would like to pre-order 120 rods for next year..."

"Again, thank you so much for being such a wonderful company to deal with! :) "

some of Denyse's beautiful grasses

Hello Jim,

"I made a large order of ornamental grasses from you in 1997. I love my grasses and so do others."

"I live on a farm in N. Saanich. We are of course surrounded by pasture. The traditional garden has to fight a continual onslaught of germinating hay seed, thistle, etc. The grasses are so suited for naturalistic groupings interspersed through perennial borders and shrub plantings. Just the tonic my garden needed. Paul and I will be doing a major division and transplant to landscape a man-made meadow."

"Great to have you online. Will keep you informed as to how your grasses are doing."

Denyse A.


Dear Jim

"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that the first order of grasses arrived and are in the ground. What beauties. Thank you so much for the care you took in harvest and packaging. I will certainly order from you again."
