The Perfect Plants For Your New York Home
“New York” means a lot of things to a lot of people. The Adirondacks and Catskills, Fire Island, Niagara Falls…the list goes on and on. And then there’s The Big Apple! With a state so rich in resources, New York was nicknamed The Empire State, and that rich diversity is evident in its gardening blessings and challenges as well. Although New York City is often the first thing that jumps to mind when thinking of this state, the majority of the state consists of mountains, lakes and rivers, and farms and forests. Whether you live upstate or downstate, in an urban apartment or rural home, Nature Hills Nursery has 13 years of experience in catering to the landscape and gardening needs of the residents of New York State.
