We have many options for individuals and groups looking to purchase plants from us.

Plants available in town

Asheville: During the spring and fall, we have a few plants at The Villagers at 278 Haywood Road, Asheville.

Chapel Hill: During the spring and fall we have a selection of plants at Niche Gardens on 1111 Dawson Road, Chapel Hill.

Visiting our nursery

Our nursery is located at 111 Another Way, Black Mountain, NC 28711 at Earthaven Ecovillage. We are open most days by appointment and welcome your visit. Please call (828) 669-6517 or email is through the contact form to schedule a visit. Please also see the driving directions before heading out! Your GPS will get you to our mailbox so you’ll need the driving directions for the final few turns.

Gift certificates

We no longer sell gift certificates.

Plant shows and festivals

During the spring and fall we bring our plants festivals around the Carolinas. Please see our home page to find where we’ll be, when. Please call (828)-669-6517 or email through the contact form at least TWO DAYS in advance of an event to pre-order plants to be brought to you.

Delivery

We are happy to deliver plants directly to your home or business within about four hours of our nursery in Black Mountain. Please call (828) 669-6517 or email us through the contact form to schedule a delivery. The delivery charge and minimum order are based on the distance from our nursery, and can be lower if we can combine the delivery with another order or event. We do our best to minimize delivery charges where possible.

Delivery to Asheville

For our Asheville, NC area customers, we offer once-per-week delivery to Asheville. We don’t have a permanent delivery location or schedule.

Delivery to Greensboro, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, and Durham

We deliver plants in the Triangle area 2-3 times per season. For small orders it’s easiest to order through Niche Gardens. If you prefer delivery to your location, especially for larger orders, contact us and we’ll work something out.

Shipping

We rarely ship plants. Most of our plants are too big and any plants going west of the Mississippi would need to be poisoned before shipping because we are in an area with Japanese beetles.

Landscapers, Schools, and Community Groups

We offer discounts to landscapers and school and community groups, and can provide wholesale quantities and pricing for a few of our plants.
