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 24,000 plants a year and we propagate 90% of these here at the nursery.
We grow many classic stalwarts as well as many rare and/or hard-to-find plants. Some of the distinctive plants we propagate include dwarf and weeping conifers, native ladyslippers, unusual native ferns, bog plants, aquatics, alpines, cacti, Itoh hybrid peonies and dwarf woodies.
We have some very 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 refinement of our gardens, the quality of the plants we offer for sale 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. Many dozens of hard working folks have helped make Cady’s Falls what it is today and we are especially grateful of our two stalwart employees, Nate and Barb, of ten and fifteen years.
It gives us great satisfaction to have been able to share our horticultural 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
Please note: we are a walk-in nursery and we do not ship plants.
