AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED, all the plants shown on this and the other two
Designs by Notestein pages are from Jim Notestein's nursery.
While the plants'
beauty and quality are apparent, the photos illustrate another
important
consideration that isn't so obvious. These are not pampered houseplants
that received a lot of TLC to keep them happy and healthy.
All these plants were grown outdoors under normal conditions, so you
can be confident that they're well-adapted to our
local climate.
As stated earlier, Jim Notestein maintains a nursery so he can provide the highest quality
native and appropriate non-native plants for his garden design clients. In other words, the
nursery isn't for retail, over-the-counter sale of plants. However, if you're interested in particular plants
listed below, but don't need garden design services, call Jim at (352) 372-2107 to discuss your needs and
set up an appointment to come by.
The lists below contain the varieties of plants that he grows in significant quantities.
"Notestein Specials" — plants that are hard to find, but are distinctive and well-adapted —
are shown in boldface in the list below.
You'll also notice that he has extensive selections of native plants, gingers, and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs.
