Wind-Resistant Plants
Below you will find lists of some of the plants we usually have in stock, that can handle windy locations! Usually because of a strong root system or the flexible nature of the branches or the type of leaves that won't get wind burned. Just because it can tolerate wind, doesn't mean it can necessarily tolerate salt air...we are working on a "coastal exposure list"!. Because it's listed here doesn't mean we for sure have it in stock, but that we have at least had it in before.
Please see our availability (remember these lists are typically organized by botanical name).

Most grasses! They sway beautifully in the wind.
Ground cover type plants can usually handle windy sites as they are so low to the ground, just be aware of water needs - too much wind can mean not moist enough soil for some plants.

Deer-Resistant Plants
Although it is practically impossible to definitively say that any plant is completely deer proof, the following lists are collections of plants that are typically left alone (that we have or usually have in stock)...though a hungry deer will usually try just about anything. Deer are not given a book to read when they are babies about what not to eat...so you get the point?....Have you thought of a fence? Or a dog? These things have helped us at the nursery :)... You can also try deer repellent sprays.
Usually they avoid very fragrant foliage or fuzzy leaves, or plants that have toxic properties. When it comes to shrubs or trees, they often love nibbling on the new growth. It helps to protect young plants with a small fence around said plant until they are large enough to not be affected by a nibble here or there.
