Green Mountain Gardener

This post was published back in May of 2009, but was temporarily lost due to some recent technical difficulties, so I have decided to republish it.  The photographs of lush greenery put a smile on my face as I look out the window at the slushy snow.

Situated in the rolling hills of Morrisville, Vermont, lies Cady’s Falls Nursery, a horticultural highlight of New England.  Their established gardens offer an amazing display of beauty and creativity.  What began as a dairy farm was transformed in 1980 into the nursery we know today.  As I stroll through the gardens, I feel as though I have been transported to a place made of fairies and magic.  The nursery is family-operated, and they produce over 24,000 plants per year, 90 percent of which they propagate themselves.  They offer many classics, but specialize in the rare, unusual, or the hard to find.  The display gardens offer perennials, dwarf and weeping conifers, a woodland garden, rock and wall garden, bog garden, pond garden, as well as an amazing variety of vines, hostas, and ladyslippers.
