Is there a nursery that you visit far to seldom? For me, Todd's Nursery is one of those. It's a wonderful and huge place very close to a couple of pumpkin patches that we often visit in the fall. Each time I visit this late in the season, I vow to do so more frequently during spring and summer.
This is a large establishment that has paths that seem to wend on forever through fabulous plant offerings.
Must go back in winter to see this gorgeous acer palmatum's bare limbs.
So much gorgeous autumn color!
None of my pictures captured the vibrant glow of this cotinus. So gorgeous that it almost jumped into the car.
Fun project idea.
Is this cute or what?
Love this smaller size too.
Can you imagine walking through all of this loveliness while plant shopping?
If you're lucky, you may run into this handsome fellow who is a remarkably friendly rooster!
A series of bridges cross a creek at various points and lead further back toward a huge pond, man made, I think with resident fowl and a very impressive bamboo grove.
Park like in areas, natural feeling in others, this would be a special garden in which to live. add to that the wonderful nursery and it truly is a gardener's paradise.
Sorry about the dearth of images of the plants for sale. You can see more from last year's visit here.
One of Todd's specialties is water features and koi. Here are a few of these moving jewels.
I was particularly smitten with the one in the center of this picture. It was a beautiful color approaching lime green. You really can't tell the color from the images but the color was highly unusual. I don't think these, in the show pond are for sale. Must go back and visit this handsome chap!
Interesting collection. Todd's has been in operation since 1960 and continues to be a very special place.
I was forced to bring home a Daphne × transatlantica 'Summer Ice.' It seduced me with it's fresh, sweetly scented blooms. Who wouldn't fall for a Daphne that's easy to grow and blooms from April through November? Fall is a great time to visit nurseries, take advantage of sales, and get lots of planting done!
