Dear Customers and Friends,

The past two seasons have proved to be some of the most difficult times experienced since the garden began in 1959!  We have finally resolved the flooding problem that we've been plagued with these past two years and have had the entire display garden, including the Japanese Garden, retiled by a construction company.  As fate would have it these areas are flat fields again like they were in 1959.  Six feet beneath however is a completely new plastic tile system that catches and takes away the water flowing from artesian underground waterways.

Although much of the landscaped area up front had to be leveled to reconstruct the tile system, the seedling fields, display areas and propagating/testing areas in the back have been vastly improved.

We are not issuing a list of our previous introductions this season due to having lost so many during the two years of flooding.  Many survived the first season but perished during the second.  Many of our original trees and shrubs planted throughout the years also suffered this same fate.  We are making an effort to acquire back the varieties that we lost.  If interested in purchasing any of them please write or E-mail us for we do have some varieties available now with others to follow.

As usual, visitors are always welcome to share the excitement that a hybridizing garden has to offer.  Our peak bloom is generally around July 15th with new seedlings blooming about ten days prior to this date.  A call or E-mail notifying us of your arrival time would be appreciated so as to be sure that someone is here to greet you and show you the garden.  Although the garden is open from dawn to dusk the morning hours are devoted to pollinating and photography but we will do our best to stop and answer your questions until we are finished with these necessary tasks.


We are located in Avon Ohio, west of Cleveland.  
We are producers of Northern Hardy lilies that
 have exceptional plant habit for Northern growers.
We take great pride in growing lilies that you will treasure for years to come.

Sincerely,

Steve Moldovan and Roy Woodhall
