Behind the scenes tour of a wholesale ornamental grass grower: Hoffman Nursery

Hoffman Nursery is a leading wholesale grower of ornamental and native grasses! Today Aidan and I got a behind the scenes tour to show you how these plants are produced via seed, division, and tissue culture! We also bought a Prius load of trays (26) to plant and to have available for purchase at the Spring Open Garden. Though they are not open for retail sales their website is a great resource for grass descriptions. hoffmannursery...

I love seeing these behind the scenes tours showing how “the sausage is made”. Thanks to John for the in-depth tour and thanks to you, Brie (and Aidan) for sharing this fascinating operation with us. 💚

Wow! That is so cool! Thanks very much for the tour and the explanations! Love the white Muhly grass.❤

Love Hoffman and Izel. The only downside I've had with ordering from Izel is that you can only buy entire flats. That's great if you need to cover a large area, but when you only need a few of something..... well, you're stuck. I understand they're filling a niche that needs filling, but it's an aggravation for the average gardener who might only want a handful of plants. Great to see some behind the curtain. That white Muhly is pretty nice and I happen to have a slope that'd benefit from a few of them!

That’s why I offer mix and match landscape plugs of any quantity at my open gardens 2 times a year.

I’ve tried to find a landscaper to follow there. 😁 They grow so many cool carex and grasses

I love Carex!

Great video, loved seeing how this all works, thanks for sharing with us.

Best video yet for me. Thanks

Just think about how expensive plants would be without mass production. I couldn’t find Muhly grass locally last year, so I’ll have to try online.

Love this kind of tour! Thanks for this What's the retail plug dealer mentioned...Izel? I've also seen plug trays offered by Prairie Moon Nursery. And a few others are doing similar I think. And a nitpick. My thumb got a workout adjusting to hear him....but it was worth it.
