A Spring Delight for Gardeners

Nadine's Nursery Opens at New Location in Napan

Contributed by Nadine’s Nursery

It was the spring of 2018 when Nadine Pesch first began to grow
plants from seed. What started as a simple hobby quickly grew into a
small business. "I have always had a natural passion for plants," she
says. For the past five years, Nadine's Nursery has been a staple at
the farmers’ markets each spring. Now, a new home in Napan will
allow even more room to grow.
What characterizes her business is, in one word, diversity.
Currently, Nadine's Nursery produces over 450 different varieties of
vegetables, flowers, and herbs. This includes over 40 different types
of tomatoes, 35 different types of peppers, and over 200 varieties of
flowers.
"There is something here for everyone!" Nadine says. "While we
also grow the usual favourites, my primary interest is in what I call
the 'weird and wonderful'—varieties that are unique or unusual, or
were popular in gardens 100 years ago, but aren't commonly found at
nurseries anymore." Some of these include Love Lies Bleeding, Bells
of Ireland, or the curiously named Pumpkin-on-a-stick.
