We are currently at the Mid-States Horticultural Expo on Louisville, Ky. The show has been pretty decent and there is some cautious optimism. So heres to a great 2010. We are stocking up for the spring and just got some more pink and white dogwoods. We are also stocked up on b&b trees from our farms. Hopefully, everyone made it through the cold well and when the ground thaws can get back to work. We stll have 15% off of all home grown material. Come see us.

Green Giant Arborvitae


Kinsey Gardens is gearing up for Spring and we have several exciting announcements coming in the future, so stay tuned to this blog. We are moving into the computer revolution finally (yes, we know, a bit late) We are nurserymen to the core and enjoy all of the outside aspects of the nursery and nature. When it comes to technology we admit we have been living in the stone ages at our own accord. It is finally time to pull out the computer and move with the times to take advantage of the enourmous marketing opportunites that exist through social networking. Through our blog we will be letting you in on what is going on at the Nursery. You will learn about what we have to offer you in terms of plant material. This will hopefully help you select your garden center or landscape stock more appropriately. This is also a blog so expect to hear some musings and ETC.

2010 promises to be an eventful and exciting year at the nursery as the economy has forced us to look at new and innovative ideas to make your shopping experience more pleasant and our plant varieties more appealing. We are committed to offering only the hardiest of plants for your selection as usual, but will be on the look out for new plants that you may find useful in your design. We are committed to customer service and hope that you find us pleasing to work with.

The plant of the week is Green Giant Arborvitae. If you haven't tried this tree or are still using Leylands in your design you should try it now. We planted a really nice screen at our house several years ago and we could not have been more pleased with the results. The growth rate is fast yet it does not have many of the shortcomings of Leylands. It is tolerant of a variety of soils and maintenance free. It is also disease and pest resistant. We have great looking plants on hand and encourage you to try them out.
