The Perfect Plants For Your Indiana Garden
Indiana is rich is its historic relevance to the nation, and today excels in the service industry, agriculture, mining and manufacturing. It’s a state with a lot to offer and home to a populace with a wide variety of interests. “The Crossroads of America”, Indiana has historically been a state that facilitated transition within the nation…and that nature of transition certainly applies to its gardening interests as well. From the Great Lakes Plains through the “corn belt” of the Till Plains, to the Lowlands…Indiana encompasses a wonderful variety of conditions conducive to exceptional gardening opportunities. For over 13 years, Nature Hills Nursery has met the varied needs of Indiana residents with its exceptional quality and service.
Choosing A Tree For Your Indiana Home
Indiana means “land of Indians”, and that cultural understanding of living close to the land continues today in Indianaians and their gardening choices. A favored choice in trees is the state tree, Tulip Poplar. This remarkable, fast-growing shade tree provides gorgeous, tulip-like flowers in spring and brilliant fall color. Likewise, Nature Hills Nursery often provides Autumn Blaze Maples to our Hoosier friends. A fast-growing Maple, Autumn Blaze is a reliable source of “blazing” red color for Indiana homes. Ginko, with its unique fan-shaped leaves and supremely hardy nature, is likewise a popular choice among Indianans…as are many other of our trees at Nature Hills Nursery.
