Dear Friends,
Welcome to our African Violet Website! We are pleased to present to you, this year, our newest introductions for 2008! As always, we have included many of our favorite, older varieties of violets, as well as varieties from other hybridizers too! We offer many types of gesneriads, as well as some other choice, exotic and unusual "companion plants". A small selection of terrarium plants is also offered. This website is our "MAIN" catalog offering most of the varieties we grow in our greenhouses. We do offer a printed version of our catalog. It is a "limited" size catalog, mostly of our new 2008 varieties, and some of our more popular varieties from previous years. It has some pictures, mostly of our new introductions! If you would like a copy, or know someone who would (and doesn't have access to the WEB), you can order one for them! We do charge $3.00 for our New 2008 catalog. We still have a small amount leftover of our 2006 and 2007 supplements. We charge $2.00 a piece for these. They make a nice reference source. If you have ordered from us within the past 4 years, you will automatically receive the 2008 catalog in the mail. (No need to send a request for one!) We usually send it out in the mail sometime around mid-March.
We are continually working to enhance this site, and add more color photographs as you have requested! At this time there are three ways to place an order with us: #1-View the site, choose your selections, and phone us with your order at 315-429-8291, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 4PM (EST). #2-Print out the order forms from the "Button Bar" on the left, that's titled "Mail-in Order Forms" fill them out, and mail them to us. #3-You can also fill out a "submittable" web order form, from the "Button Bar" on the left, that's titled "Mail-in Order Forms"
UPCOMING SHOWS FOR 2008:
The 2008 Ohio State African Violet Society (OSAVS) show and plant sale, will take place this September 19th and 20th, (Friday and Saturday) in Mansfield, Ohio. It will be held at Kingwood Gardens, located at 900 W. Park Ave. We will be there selling our plants to the public, along with a few other vendors, both days from 9am to 4 pm. Stop by and see the show and sales room. We'll also be glad to answer any questions you may have about growing and caring for your plants!
For those of you who are considering placing an order with us for the first time, rest assured we are a nationally known and trusted company. We ship plants all over the world, with one goal in mind, to provide you with top of the line varieties, most of which are developed right here in our greenhouses. Order with confidence, knowing that your plants will be properly handled and packed, by our staff, with the greatest care. Thanks, to all of you, who have written letters to us, complimenting us on the condition of your plants upon arrival, and our packing techniques. It means a lot to us!
Our greenhouses are filled with an even larger selection of African violets and gesneriads, plus many other exotic houseplants and orchids too numerous to list. Our personal orchid collection is on exhibit year-round. Cameras are always welcome! If you are traveling near our area, please come see us.
