What’s Happening at Russell Nursery?

Spring is truly coming to life! Our beautiful flowering cherry and plum trees are in bud and bloom, putting on a spectacular show. Now is the time to shop for native plants, with the widest variety available for the season. The flowering currants are bursting with colour and attracting early pollinators. Speaking of pollinators, we still have mason bee cocoons and houses available. It’s also the perfect time to plant bare root roses, raspberries, and asparagus for a thriving garden ahead. For collectors and enthusiasts, we have a stunning but limited selection of hard-to-find specialty species rhododendrons, along with fresh new pottery to brighten up your outdoor spaces. Come explore what’s looking its best this week!
