(September 29, 2014) We visited North Creek Nurseries where their corporate offices sit in Landenberg, Pennsylvania on a drizzly afternoon in late September. Claudia West, their Ecological Sales Manager, gave us a little tour around their facilities. She knows a lot and I wish I could follow her around for a couple of days, at least. I was really excited to learn that North Creek discovered Schizachyrium scoparium 'Standing Ovation' (Little bluestem) because I planted several this year and it is a favorite. They were in the process of constructing several huge new greenhouses while we were there. Massive. Especially in contrast to their existing structures. I also really liked the paths in the (naturalized?) garden at the bottom of the property. And the way greenhouses subtly peek above the varied plant life. Of course I have much more to say about each photo I decided to post, but I needed to get them up here before the external hard drive forgot about them
