When You Visit

We are primarily a wholesale business that is also open to retail customers. Shopping at Mary’s is self service. This keeps costs and prices down for our customers. We will direct you to the greenhouse(s) that contain the plant material you are looking for and provide a map giving an overview of our operation. If you need assistance and provide us a list of the plants you desire by fax or email 72 hours (3 days) prior to your anticipated visit, we will pull the plants for you. This allows us time to work the order into our pulling schedule. Lengthy orders are difficult to take by phone and there is more opportunity for error. Therefore they are discouraged.  For many customers shopping at Mary’s is a garden adventure in searching, spotting, and choosing varieties to grow from a gigantic collection of plants!

Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes. We have several greenhouses spread over a wide area; in order to see everything, you will need to do a considerable amount of walking in graveled greenhouses and driveways.

Bring water and snacks with you. Many of our customers stay several hours. Your visit can be more enjoyable if you plan to take a break. Some of our regular customers bring their lunch. We also offer a variety of snacks, water, cold drinks, etc. for sale at the front office.

We have several greenhouses that are propagation areas and restricted to employees only. None of the plants contained in these houses are for sale. We also may have restricted areas in other houses that may be marked by signs, strings, etc. If you are interested in something in a restricted area, please ask one of our salespeople for assistance.

We have pushcarts, wagons, and baskets with which you may shop. These are located around the sales’ office and greenhouses. Please bring all merchandise to the sales office for check out. If you need assistance getting your plants to the front, please ask and we will be happy to help.
