 Planting instructions

Useful Plants are available at the farmers' markets near Asheville and Black Mountain, North Carolina. We also take the plants to local events. Please call us two days before a farmers' market or event if you would like us to bring plants especially for you.

You may also pick up plants at our nursery at Earthaven Ecovillage. Please call us to make arrangements before coming to the nursery.

We will deliver plants in the local area. Please call us to inquire about delivery rates and conditions.

We are not a mail order nursery, but we can ship some small plants, such as jiaogulan, comfrey, goji, and other plants in 4" pots. We do not ship trees or large shrubs.

About talking on the phone

Our inventory varies over time and we don't always have all sizes of all the plants listed on the website. Talking on the phone lets us explore the options before we bring you plants, especially if you want to know more about the different varieties. We enjoy talking about plants and look forward to talking with you about our plants.

You may send email if you prefer, but please leave time for several exchanges to arrange for us to bring plants to you or for you to pick up plants at the nursery.
