Our goal is two-fold; First, we hope to introduce you to Natureworks, a very special retail garden center in Southern Connecticut. Although small in size (we are located on merely an acre of land!) we pack a lot into a little space. Our shop is in a 125-year-old house and is filled to overflowing with unique gifts and gardening accessories in every season.
The plant benches in our yard are packed with an amazing variety of fascinating plants, from old-fashioned flowers to the latest cutting-edge introductions. We place a special focus on native plants, pollinator friendly selections, butterfly larval food plants (such as milkweed) and nectar flowers, and plants to attract birds to your yard. We LOVE succulents, all kinds of organic edibles, and easy care plants that will fill your yard with color in every season.
But the best part of visiting Natureworks are the gardens. Our demonstration gardens surround the store and the retail sales yard. They contain many of the plants that we sell, growing in a style marked with wild abandon.

Services
I have a degree in Floriculture from the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture at the University of CT.
I originally attended UCONN in liberal arts, intending to become an elementary school teacher.
My first job was as greenhouse manager at Glen Terrace Nurseries in Hamden.
I started Natureworks in 1983 with $500 in my pocket and a bright gold Datsun pickup truck.
I ran Natureworks out of an abandoned gas station at the entrance to Stony Creek until 1990 when I purchased the property in Northford.

Succession of Bloom in the Perennial Garden focuses on Connecticut Gardens.
It is a manual for garden designers which identifies the bloom time and characteristics of perennials and includes shrubs and vines often found in perennial gardens.
It has an easy to use chart-like format.
If you're looking to create a new garden, reference this book as you create your design plan.
For your existing garden beds, if you have gaps during the year when you could use a bit more color, this book will pin point those plants that bloom during the period you need.
