Party like it’s Willow Year 2023

Hey folks! Welcome to Willow Year 2023!

We’ve got an exciting announcement! For the first time (I think…) the nursery is going to include USDA hardiness zones 7a and 7b in the Autumn harvest! We’ve seen a few studies and have heard numerous anecdotes that has us convinced. I’ll share them on The Sali Garden as soon as I can. We hope to expand your possibilities and to ultimately get your orders to you faster! Perhaps in the future we can start to serve 6!

You can check your zone on our Shipping Info page or on the USDA’s page here.

As the nurseries regrow I’ll be updating our inventory pages. I don’t want to count our willows before they hatch and all that so our inventory counts are conservative. Everything is growing back fabulously, however, so check back frequently.

Allow me to thank everyone who ordered last year! We got our Spring harvest off on a bit of a rough start, but once we found our stride things went much more smoothly. We also implemented new systems that really help us organize behind-the-scenes. I’ll discuss the workings of the nursery a little bit more in our newsletters. For anyone with questions regarding their order: please don’t hesitate to email me!

A few special thank-yous: Mia, Lisa’s mom, came and practically ran the kitchen during our Spring harvest during a time when our dishwasher was broken, and also put some long hours in doing nursery work. Jenna, our neighbor, answered the call for assistance and was able to go with the flow as we figured things out. Thanks a lot, y’all

We’ve got many more ideas for the future! Stay tuned!
