We spent 13 years building an abundant fruit forest, annual veggie beds, perennial medicinal herbs, and a healthy mixed hardwood-coniferous forest and now we've sold our property to the next stewards so that we can begin a new homesteading project in Vermont closer to our best friends and their kids.

Don't worry - we plan to keep this website up and running so that our customers can reference what we've written about our plants!

We'll let you know once we re-start a farm in Vermont!

This fuzzy-leaved rock rose makes a smaller, more compact shrub than the pink orchid or white rock roses. While the others easily reach 3-4ft tall, this variety grows to be a perfectly shaped 2ft round shrub.

Rock rose are cold hardy, evergreen, drought tolerant shrubs that grow well in poor soil, making them perfect to fill in exposed sunny slopes. What more can you ask for from a shrub?
