Lori is a Member of Our Backyard Growers Business Center, that’s why her nursery is being featured here.

Beautiful selection of plants!


We grow and sell perennials, shrubs and trees right here in our own back yard. We have many plants to choose from and if there is something that you are looking for that we don’t have we would be happy to assist you in finding it or possibly growing it here.


We have a large variety of flowering shrubs and trees to choose from. If you like Hydrangeas, Spirea and Weigelas, we have them plus many other shrubs. We grow Butterfly Bushes, Monarda and Butterfly Weed which are attractive to butterflies. We also have many different ornamental grasses.
