is a small nursery & farm in north Idaho specializing in fragrant and lesser known ornamental, edible & useful plants for northern climates, plus herbal necessities using herbs and flowers from our gardens, woods and fields.
Scented flowers & foliage, night-blooming plants, a vase of amazing cut flowers for the window sill; we offer all these plants & more, with a special yen for the unusual, the far-flung and the hard-to-find. Cottage garden plants, alpine lovelies, herbs from around the world, exotic fruits all find a place here. Plus, of course, anything blue.
We grow a wide range of fragrant herbs, Primula, species Peonies, Penstemons, species & heirloom Roses, culinary, medicinal, dyers' and perfumers' plants, Western native plants and more.

The catalog for 2011 is online now; ask for a printed copy and I'll mail you one right away. The ground has thawed enough (almost a month behind normal!!) to begin digging, hallelujah....
The soaps have their own website now! Check out Wildwood Soap Company for handmade artisan soaps made by Judith.
