Nursery Images 
Here are some images from Plant Delights Nursery. Unlike many larger mailorder nurseries, we grow our own plants, which gives us more control over quality, trueness to name, and availability. We maintain three greenhouse temperature regimens during the winter months: hosta greenhouses are unheated, most other perennials are maintained in minimally heated cold greenhouses kept just above 32 degrees F, and our tropical greenhouses are kept at a minimum of 55 degrees F. Once the plants in our growing greenhouses pass our readiness standards, they are moved to one of our seven shipping greenhouses, where they can be pulled by our shippers. These shipping houses are then opened to the public during our open house days. We hope you will come and visit. Thank you for your interest!
