PLANTS HAVE EXPLODED!

 

Growing conditions have been good this year.  Sinogrande, macabeanum, kesangiae, and other big leaf rhodies are featured in the nurseries listed on our “Associations and Nurseries” page.  If you don’t find the species you are looking for, give us a call.

 

Visitors to our garden are always welcome by appointment.

 

This fall we will be at the Rhododendron Species Foundation Sale as well as the NW Horticultural Society Sale.

"Fronderosa Frolic is a celebration of plants and summer…that has become the horticultural equivalent of Woodstock".
- (Val Easton, Seattle Times column, 4/8/04)

Once a year, folks from the best specialty nurseries in the Northwest gather in Gold Bar, Washington, to compare notes, trade plants, and camp by the Skykomish River, hosted by Judith Jones at Fancy Fronds Nursery. You can get in on the conversation, see what plants will be the next big thing or find that specimen that is perfect for that problem spot in your garden. 

In addition to Fancy Fronds, specialty nurseries invited to attend will include Cistus Nursery, Sauvie Island, OR, specializing in Mediterranean plants and hardy tropicals; The Desert Northwest, offering cold-hardy desert plants; and Chimacum Woods, with many kinds of species rhododendrons.  Many of the new plants introduced by commercial growers are first discovered or grown by keen plant people operating small specialty nurseries.  Here’s your chance to learn about exciting new introductions before they become widely available.

Fancy Fronds Nursery is located off Highway 2, just east of Gold Bar, Wash.
