SHRUBS,VINES AND TREES

Shrubbery is a funny sounding word.  It rhymes with rubbery and blubbery but little else, making it a poor topic for poetry and songwriting.  Foliage on shrubbery can be rubbery.  It can also be papery, leathery, satiny, prickly and scaly.  Seldom do you see anyone get blubbery over shrubbery except when some errant driver misses a curve and takes out their favorite magnolia.  The point of all this foolishness is our great selection of shrubbery, which comes in all, shapes, sizes, colors and, textures.  We’ve scoured the nation to bring you beautiful blooming woody plants for all seasons, usual and unusual foliage accents, and even those cute little miniatures for rock gardens and garden railways.

     While we our proud to grow most of our herbaceous material here at Baker’s Acres, we grow very few of the woody plants that we sell.  We rely on the many excellent nurseries around the country.  Please call ahead when seeking a specific or unusual variety to make sure of availability.  Often we are able to find the plants you are looking for.  We offer a delivery service for a nominal fee.  Please ask for details.  Also, if you need a large amount of landscape plants, we will be glad to give you a special price quote.
