that is 'beginner friendly,' with selection to tempt the seasoned
gardener." |

Well, duh! It sounds so simple but it's really the crux of what we do. Twenty years ago we decided to start a nursery business even though we had virtually no horticultural background or education. Looking back we still wonder "what were we thinking?!?!" But the greatest benefit of our leap of blind faith was that we had no preconceptions about the "right" way to grow perennial plants. Because we didn't know the rules and were forced to learn by experience the plants, themselves, became our teachers. The plants themselves taught us what they wanted or needed, what they liked and did not like. Believe me they are very clear about those things. Trial and error may not be the easiest way to learn, but it made us become astute observers of plant behavior. Learning from the plants, we developed our own unique Westview Farms growing style: to simulate actual natural garden growing conditions in our greenhouses. Our plants receive no supplemental heat or light that would force too early growth; overhead irrigation is kept to a minimum to simulate natural cycles of rain and drought. Fertilization, too, is kept to a minimum. Our plants are never junk food junkies that expect their new owners to support an expensive fertilizer "habit."
Our Goal is to provide you with lean, mean growing machines that graduate from pots to garden with no transplant trauma. You too will come to know that Our Plants Grow! WESTVIEW FARMS, LLC Perennials & Herbs is proud to be a member of the following fine organizations:
