Glenraven is a working farm and nursery, and plant availability reflects the rhythms of propagation, growth, and the land itself. Not all plants are available at all times, and the collection changes through the season and from year to year.
Plants are grown with specific timing in mind rather than held indefinitely. This helps ensure good root development, healthy plants, and realistic expectations around size and readiness.
Seasonal Lists
Each growing year is planned in advance. By late winter, decisions are made about what will be propagated for the coming season based on stock plants, division potential, growing space, and previous performance.
Once the seasonal list is finalized, it is published through the website and ordering opens. Availability reflects what is actively being grown that year rather than the full reference collection.
Current availability is reflected in the shop, which shows the plants being grown and offered this season.
The Plant Library and Availability
The Plant Library functions as a reference index of plants grown at Glenraven over time. Inclusion in the Plant Library does not guarantee current or future availability.
Some plants appear regularly. Others are grown intermittently, in smaller numbers, or only when conditions allow. This approach keeps the nursery responsive rather than fixed.
Timing and Flexibility
Plants become ready on their own schedule. Weather, temperature, and seasonal conditions all influence timing. Estimated availability windows are provided where possible, but flexibility is part of working with living material.
If you are planning ahead for a project, early conversations are always helpful. The earlier the context is shared, the more likely it is that timing and quantities can be aligned.
