These cool new windowed pull down windows are new.  This previously open structure has been part of the nursery for many years but the addition of the doors will give the building more versatility. 

The additional protection will certainly be appreciated by the plants inside.  Will PAN start carrying more tender plants or maybe even branch out into houseplants  in the future?

These succulent combination bowls are showing up just about everywhere these days.


Much of the nursery, usually devoted to perennials, roses, etc. is now empty.   I understand that they bring in Christmas trees after Thanksgiving.   Topiary dolphin sentries guarding the barren ground.

This nursery is always incredibly clean and in fall when gardens and landscapes are their at their messiest, this tidiness stands in stark contrast.

Cotoneaster berries are especially lovely this time of year. 


Where have all the rhododendrons gone? 

There's still a nice selection of conifers.

And some interesting stuff. 

And some beautiful fall foliage.





Topiary saguaros are the only kind we can grow here.  Tempting.
