A Word about our plants: From the time they come into our nursery, they are given the best care possible. The Plant Fair Nursery staff is dedicated to keeping the plants healthy so when they go into their permanent homes, they will thrive. We offer quality plants from reputable growers who are dedicated to their craft and want every plant to have a happy, healthy, and long life.

Here's a cool tip: When selecting plants, it is good to know the mature size they will reach to ensure you get the views or privacy you desire. A water wise landscape like the one pictured on the right will save you money & water in the long run.

Just a reminder to support the local Farmer's Market at the Sawmill Crossing. It is open Saturdays 8:AM to Noon.
