CONIFERS in the GARDEN
At Cady’s Falls Nursery, we specialize in dwarf and weeping conifers for small gardens, with a special focus on unusual cultivars of the genus Larix. We take pride and pleasure in grafting our own plants and in being able to offer first-hand advice to our customers. Almost all the plants we offer for sale are propagated from established specimens in our gardens. The conifers come into their own with the commencement of new growth in early summer and come to the forefront once again in the fall, after the herbaceous plants have faded away. By the subtlety of their texture and variation in their form, the coniferous plants are the royalty of the winter garden.

THE CONIFER COLLECTION
At Cady’s Falls Nursery, we specialize in dwarf and weeping plants for small gardens, with a special focus on unusual cultivars of the genus Larix. We take pride and pleasure in grafting our own plants and in being able to offer first hand advice to our customers. Almost all the plants we offer for sale are represented by established specimens in our gardens. The conifers come into their own with the commencement of new growth in early summer and again in fall after the deciduous plants have shed their leaves and the perennials have died back. By the subtlety of their texture and variation in form, the large coniferous plants are the royalty of the winter garden.
