Due to health issues, our nursery is now closed. We were a small specialty plant nursery in Christiansburg, Virginia, owned by two sisters (Brenda and Debra Graff).
We sold perennial plants that support pollinators and other beneficial insects, with an emphasis on plants that are native to Virginia. We did not use chemical insecticides, including neonicotinoids, which can kill bees.
Due to our limited space, we didn’t sell shrubs or trees. None of our plants were harvested from the wild. The Ladybug Garden did not sell any invasive plants listed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Please see our SHOP to learn about the plants that we carried in our nursery.
Due to zoning restrictions, our backyard nursery was not open to the public.
Due to health issues, our nursery is now closed. See our shop to learn about the plants that we sold.
We bought young plants from wholesalers, which we potted up and grew. We did a limited number of cuttings and divisions from our own plants. We diligently made sure that our wholesalers did not use neonicotinoids or other systemic insecticides.
Our plants were grown outdoors, and not in a heated greenhouse. They were ready to be planted in your garden immediately upon purchase (they didn’t need to be hardened off).
No, we did not use any kind of systemic insecticides, nor did we use any other chemical insecticides or herbicides on our plants.
Due to health issues, our nursery is now closed.
