Orders and prepayment are now due before April 15. Buyers do not have to be Chester residents, but they must be able to pick up their orders, most likely in early- to mid-May, from Main Street in Chester.

All specimens are hardy, low maintenance, feature multi-season interest and appeal to pollinators and/or birds. Most are native and sport beautiful blossoms. Any of these would make a wonderful addition to one’s property or a memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, housewarming celebrations, memorials and other special events.
