About Us

 
 

The Crownsville Nursery is a small, mailorder nursery dedicated to quality, selection and service; we pride ourselves on customer service and attention to detail. We spent years perfecting our packing system, generally acknowledged as the best in the industry. To ensure that your order arrives nursery-fresh at your door, we inspect each plant we ship individually, then wrap and secure in its shipping carton - no styrofoam, no mess. Your order is important to us, our continued success depends on your satisfaction.

If you are new to mailorder gardening or have been disappointed by the quality or condition of the plants shipped to you in the past, please read what others have said about us ....
 

"Imagine opening a shipping box and finding vibrant plants, some already in bloom, vigorous, bursting with color - a ready-made garden. I hate the word instant, but Crownsville’s product comes about as close as anything can."

Ken Druse, Garden Editor, House Beautiful and Author of The Natural Garden, The Natural Shade Garden, and The Natural Habitat Garden
 
"No other nursery can match the care [The Crownsville Nursery] takes in packaging and shipping plants to customers."

Patricia Taylor, Author of Easy Care Perennials and Easy Care Shade Flowers
 
"Everything arrives very hale and hearty due to gigantic plants shipped in scrupulous packing,... overall, a very fine source."

Dianne Benson, Author of Dirt
 
"I was most impressed by your recent shipment. Your ingenious packaging and well-grown plants rank with the best I have ever received in 40 years of buying plants by mail order. As an added bonus, your catalog, with its wealth of valuable horticultural information not normally provided in such publications is a plantsman’s delight. Keep up the good work!"

Dr. George Phair
 

The Plants

Nearly all of our plants are shipped in quart pots. Actually, our growing containers are 4½" x 5½" deep, a bit larger than the traditional nursery quart. These pots are fully 3 times as large in volume as the pots most commonly used for mail order shipping. The extra growing room produces a much better plant, with a larger, more established root system. We have indicated in the individual catalog listings all plants that are not grown in quarts.
 

Bridgewood Gardens Hostas

We carry a large selection of Hostas (well over a hundred varieties), but if you think of Hostas as more than just great perennials for shady gardens you should visit our Hosta Website - Bridgewood Gardens. They grow over 500 varieties and have selections for everyone from beginning enthusiasts to avid collectors. The site is also packed with information relating to Hostas.
