Heritage Flower Farm in Mukwonago, Wisconsin is an award-winning nursery growing more than 1000 heirloom plants, providing their stories and spreading them to gardens from Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian and Canada’s Royal Botanic Garden to gardens like yours.
Heirloom plants are plants with a past. They heard the dawn of history, the Europe of Elizabeth I, or Siberia of the Cossacks. These plants witnessed America before John Smith sailed up the James River in Virginia. They are plants with stories, not just perfumes or sweet, pearl-like buds. They tell us how inventive, early people made them into food, medicine and articles of love. They narrate the tales of discovery by intrepid plant hunters. They are the plants of our heritage - your grandmother's garden of flowers. These are plants with wildlife values, feeding bird and insect companions to maintain abundant biodiversity. They are tough survivors - under conditions of their home places they thrive with little care.
