 I love to propagate plants, especially ferns and grow all the plants for my

I do not have a greenhouse, so everything is grown outdoors, 

which makes it very cold hardy. 

During the winter I propagate spores, 

seeds and cuttings indoors then move the

babies out to the garden in the spring.

I love to experiment with new varieties

 but also grow many tried and true favorites. 

I appreciate all your suggestions and use your feedback to make improvements to my sale every year. I enjoy answering your questions and solving your gardening dilemmas. For gardening related articles that I've written over the years,

The Gardens on Cobblestone 

have flourished since their inception

 in 1998 when we built our house. 

Over twenty-plus years, 

new plants have been welcomed, 

beds have been redesigned

and garden art interspersed 

to harmonize with my plantings.

Many of my ideas are inspired 

by my travels to gardens around the world.

The Plants

Throughout the year, I propagate plants from my garden through division, cuttings, seeds and spores. I also divide plants and steal reseeding babies from my daughter's garden in Rochester, New York. Once the plants are established, 

they are overwintered outdoors in their pots which allows them to toughen up for a long life in your garden.

and like to mix it up every year with several different varieties.

Colleen's Annual Plant Sale

Thank you! 

Every year I have the privilege of meeting so many wonderful gardeners. I get great tips from you about plants, pests and WNY gardens to visit. 

The recycled pots & trays are greatly appreciated. 

For those who brought me seeds from their own gardens – I am excited and anxious to propagate them.

Happy Gardening and see you next year!

Colleen
