Website update 2011 is complete, and will be posted within the following week. Our new selections will be denoted with a yellow star on their respective PLANTS pages. We hope this will help in generating ideas for something unique in your 2011 garden. Many new hybrids are not just new to Crescent Hill, but also to the horticultural trade in general. With your help, we look forward to categorizing their various uses, likes, and dislikes as they touch California soil for the first time. With these specimens as well as our familiar favorites, please remember your feedback is crucial to our compilation of an efficient and effective regional planting guide for rare and unusual species. Customer participation is an essential piece to this puzzle. The website update also includes our 2011 CALENDAR, which has swelled to include new events in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and even San Francisco. As always, suggestions on additional events are tremendously appreciated!! Next year's update will include detailed photos for each individual species, and any exceptional photos from your collections will help in that process. So please follow this link, www.crescenthillnursery.com, and enjoy the tour of our website.
NEW FOR 2011. Cut flowers from the Proteacea family, including Protea, Banksia, Pincushion, Leucadendron, and Grevillea will be offered at our markets this year. These incredible blooms will last 2-3 weeks in a vase, and will certainly generate conversation and awe in any indoor setting. Plants of these flowers will be available when possible.
Nursery tours are encouraged. Please come out and see our 2 acre facility in Watsonville. With over 225 varieties grown, the growing grounds are turning into a little botanical park. Please call for an appointment. Groups are welcome.
Please remember Crescent Hill recycles all 1,2, and 5 gallon plastic containers. Drop off available at all markets, or here at the nursery. Thanks again!!
