About UsWho we are: Oriental Garden Supply was originally formed because of a great love of Japanese style gardens, their plants, ornaments, and aesthetic appeal. We offer an array of authentic materials to help you realize your garden vision. We have continued to evolve into a dedicated group of garden enthusiasts who will drop just about everything to talk about, examine, acquire, propagate, or otherwise be involved with really worthwhile plants. What thrills our souls is the variety of nature’s bounty, a plant grown well, and garden features that we would want in our own gardens. We are primarily a working nursery supplying unusual plant material that we consider worthy of use because of its aesthetic appeal, hardiness, low maintenance, flowering, or other characteristics. We sell to discriminating nurseries, garden centers, landscape professionals, and gardeners looking for that something special. We are secondarily a garden center, and although return customers are always pleased at year-to-year progress in the “amenities”, you might consider boots on a rainy day to examine all corners of the property. We currently occupy 8 acres and grow over 25,000 plants, primarily in containers, from rooted cuttings to landscape specimens. Green Initiatives: Although it’s a bit of a cliché to call us a green business, we take the environment and our impact on it seriously. Over 30 programmable irrigation zones that we adjust for seasonal and plant needs tightly control and reduce water use significantly. In 2008, we also installed a geothermal heating system to replace propane and oil heat in our propagation areas and our office and sales area. The system consists of a horizontal loop field and has almost eliminated our burning of propane and oil. We also do our propagation in a greenhouse that has an earth berm and thermal curtain to reduce energy consumption. If you are: Looking to buy? Come visit the nursery locally or search on our website. We endeavor to keep our plant availability up-to-date, but cannot always do so as promptly as we would like during the busy season. A personal visit to the nursery might also give you a sneak peak at future offerings! Looking for designs? Our primary business is growing plants although we have considerable experience and expertise in designing gardens. However, we have limited time in the spring to leave the nursery for site inspections if you are a local customer. If you would like suggestions, it is best if you bring or send pictures, have some idea of what you would like to accomplish, and give us the compass orientation of your site with sunlight information. We do large color designs as our schedule allows and they generally range from $200-$500 with 50% of the charge available to apply towards plant purchases. This would normally include a site visit up to 1 hour in length for smaller designs, a design and plant list for you to keep, and a review of recommended plants at the nursery. Looking for landscape Installation? Please contact us for recommendations. Need Delivery? (retail) As a guideline, we can deliver most plants for $45 within a 20-mile radius of the nursery. We use an enclosed truck to protect their foliage, and will move them to the proposed planting location. This fee generally applies for up to 5 plants up to 25 gallon (trade size). For an additional $20 per plant, we will provide soil amendments, plant them if you’ve dug a hole to our recommended size, and mulch them and stake them if required. Other work is billed at $75/hour. Pick up or pick out your own plants? You are always welcome to come to the nursery and browse our stock. (Directions to the nursery) 448 West Bloomfield Road Pittsford, NY 14534 |
