Cady’s falls nursery
WELCOME
Cady’s Falls Nursery is a family-operated, retail nursery, founded in 1980 and located in north central Vermont. We offer a wide selection of garden-worthy, herbaceous perennials and woody plants for northern gardens. We produce over 20,000 plants a year and we propagate 95% of these here at the nursery.
We grow many classic stalwarts as well as many rare and hard-to-find plants. Some of the distinctive plants we propagate include dwarf and weeping conifers, native ladyslippers, native ferns, bog plants, aquatics, alpines, cacti, Itoh hybrid peonies.
We have some old-fashioned notions about how to run a nursery and how to make a living selling plants. Most significantly, we have chosen to remain small so that we can stay focused on the things that are most important to us. These include the evolution of our gardens, the quality of the plants we grow and the quality of the experience people have when they visit our nursery.
It is also important that this be a pleasant and enjoyable place to work. Over the decades, many dozens of hard working people have helped make Cady’s Falls Nursery what it is today. We are especially grateful of our two stalwart employees, Nate and Barb, of ten and sixteen years.
It gives us great satisfaction to have been able to share our gardening journey with so many people over the years and to have earned a reputation as one of the horticultural highlights of New England.
Thank you all,
Don and Lela Avery
