Old Hackberry ASMR. Take one minute to pause, touch grass, breathe deep, and hug a tree. 🌿🌳

“When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

— The Peace of Wild Things, Wendell Berry

Our Tree of the Month for September: Maples 🍁

Our Tree of the Month for September: Maples 🍁

In our nursery, Maples are a cornerstone of our work and a true symbol of resilience and beauty. From the stately shade of the State Street Maple to the fiery brilliance of Autumn Blaze, these trees bring year-round interest:

🌱 Spring – fresh buds and one of the first trees to flower...important for emerging pollinators!
☀️ Summer – cooling shade on hot days
🍂 Fall – unmatched fall color...golds, oranges, reds, and even purples
❄️ Winter – striking bark and pretty silhouettes

We grow nearly 20 varieties of Acer (both single and multi-stem forms) with fall colors ranging from glowing yellows to fiery reds.

While many think of Maple as “one-size-fits-all,” we know the diversity within this genus is something truly special. 🌳

Which Maple is your favorite? Comment below!
