Our plants are grown organically, free of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Everything we sell has been trialed here first so we can give you some pointers for success. Barb propagates as much as she can from plant cuttings and the rest are grown from seed. Our only exception are the Bay trees which we order as small plugs due to the difficulty in propagation.This year we do have several larger Bays which we were able to separate at the roots from our 45 year old Bay tree.
