Welcome
to Baker's Acres Greenhouse!
Here
at Baker's Acres we love people, we love plants and we love
to have fun. Hopefully, we have successfully combined
all three. Being unabashed plant nerds ourselves, we
realize what joy and delight a new plant brings...especially
if it lives. By searching the world over, by rummaging
through countless greenhouses and garden centers, and by swapping
with our many generous friends in the industry, we have amassed
a huge variety of plants that should satisfy most horticultural
fanatics as well as all of you 'normal' people. Producing
all these plants is very hard work, so we try to make it as
enjoyable as possible by having a good laugh whenever we can. Laughing
is supposed to be very good for you (unless your suffer from
a broken rib). To this end, we're including some of the
so-called funny stuff from our famous catalog as well as our
plant lists. We hope you will enjoy it all.

OUR FAMOUS CATALOG
WHAT IS THIS?
What is this thing you’re looking at? We’ve struggled for years for the right term for our catalog. It’s not actually a catalog, having no prices and no descriptions. It’s too large for a pamphlet. Would that make it a pamph? Is it a brochure...not sure. We could call it a roster but that could foster a sports allusion. If we called it a list we would miss the gist of what it’s all about. Printed matter sounds strange and horticultural compendium is way too stuffy. A booklet implies that it’s almost a book which in turn implies literature, which this certainly is not. I guess we’ll just have to call this ‘The Papery Thing with the Words and Stuff’. That’s got a nice ring to it.

Send us your mailing address
Alternately, you could call us or send a telegram (do they still have those things?). We do not sell or share our mailing list with anyone. We tried but no one wanted it.

THE
DREADED DISCLAIMER
At the risk of causing a great and mournful outcry from
the masses, we must tell you that WE
DO NOT SHIP plants listed in our retail
catalog at this point in time (perhaps in the future). You
gotta come to the greenhouse to get 'em. We do not
take orders - it's first come first served. A word
of advice - call first to make sure the plants you
want are in stock. It is almost impossible to have
all the plants all the time. |

We periodically update this website (usually when we can't get to sleep),
so keep checking back as we add more information!
