| Welcome to
Free Spirit We are a small nursery that is proud to operate as a 'traditional' nursery. We not only grow but also propagate 90+% of the plants we sell on our property. We do not use mass production technologies. All
our plants and mother stock are grown in garden loam or in containers
with a composted bark as a base medium. We vegetatively propagate all
our named varieties. Seed propagation is only used for true species or
with the intent to create variety. Except
for a minimum amount of quality slow release fertilizers for the
containers and about 3 applications of the nature-friendly Safer's slug
and snail bait , no chemical herbicides or pesticides are being used.
All weeds are picked by hand and pests are controlled with appropriate
organic methods. Toads are still roaming the greenhouses and borders,
tree frogs croak from the oddest locations and scores of birds, bees
and butterflies add extra value and interest to the gardening
experience. At
the nursery we show and share dynamic planting schemes in which not
only color and flowering time play a role but more so the character,
texture and flower shapes in order to create a garden that continuously
changes under the influence of light, wind, precipitation and time,
demanding different levels of appreciation from the viewer.
