I planted some berry covered winterberry shrubs and read I needed a male for them to produce again. Trees of Fredericksburg suggested Colesville. I’m new to the area but took the jaunt down to pick me up a shrub. The nursery is something that I have never experienced before. I parked between the two buildings (garden shop & main building I assumed.). I took a walk to see what they had on display. After about 1/2 way around the tents a lady asked how I was doing. She walked me over to where she thought the shrub would be. Not there, she got on her walkie-talkie and got the location…on the other side of the property. I drove toward the area and got a man in a golf cart who slowed down and looked at me suspiciously. I confirmed the location and glad I did. He was a huge help, corrected me and sent me on my way.
What a sight to see. The biggest working nursery I have ever seen. Trucks, flat beds, UTV, driving all around picking up plants.
At this point I feel over my head coming to pick up a plant.
I find my shrubs and there are ribbons on some. I wasn’t for sure if that was an I.d. to reserve or who to credit for the plant. I grab a tall healthy plant and take it back to the main building.
As I unload a nice fella came over to tell me just to leave it. Then I ask what the ribbon meant. Of course it’s a tag for a reservation. I offer to take it back and get another. He kindly offered to go look for the paperwork on it. No paperwork for this shrub providentially and I can purchase it!!!
The trip was quite intimidating for someone like me. I appreciated all the friendly faces driving around and all the help I received from the kind men and women.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to call next time about the blue dwarf irises I want and see how to reserve and pick them up. But thank you everyone for your help and kindness today.
