The Gardener’s Guild

The Gardener’s Guild
You're invited to join the Gardener's Guild

The Gardener’s Guild is a limited retail membership that provides select access to Linden Hill Nursery, a working wholesale nursery.

Linden Hill Nursery is not a retail garden center. Our primary focus remains serving landscape professionals, designers, and trade clients. The Gardener’s Guild was created in response to strong interest from passionate home gardeners who value the same level of plant quality, rarity, and selection.

This membership offers a way to experience the nursery within a structured framework that allows us to maintain our trade operations.

    What to Expect

    Members have access to a curated and ever-changing inventory that reflects what we are actively sourcing for our trade clients. This includes:

    • Rare and unusual plants
    • High-quality woody material (trees and shrubs)
    • Seasonal perennials and specialty plants
    • Unique garden elements and materials

    Inventory is not merchandised like a retail garden center. Availability changes frequently, and plants are often grouped for operational efficiency rather than for display.

    Member Benefits

    • Access to shop the nursery during designated Guild hours
    • 10% off purchases
    • Reserved seating at lectures & talks.
    • Plant sourcing assistance from our experienced team

    While we are happy to help locate plants, availability is never guaranteed. Our sourcing efforts prioritize existing trade relationships.

    Important Notes

    • The nursery operates as a working wholesale facility
    • Staff availability on the grounds may be limited outside of checkout
    • Members shop independently and bring their selections to the nursery office for purchase

    The Gardener’s Guild is designed for experienced gardeners who are comfortable navigating a nursery environment and selecting plant material independently.

    The science of fall planting goes far beyond chang The science of fall planting goes far beyond changing leaf color.

As daylight decreases, chlorophyll begins to break down and other pigments become visible. Xanthophylls bring out yellows, carotenoids contribute oranges, and anthocyanins create many of the reds and purples we associate with fall.

But those changes also tell us something important about what is happening inside the plant. Nutrients and sugars are being redistributed, water needs are changing, and plants are entering a stage that can be ideal for digging and transplanting.

Understanding leaf senescence helps landscape professionals make better decisions about fertilizing, watering, planting, and moving material as the season changes.

    Camellias aren’t just for southern gardens. At Li Camellias aren’t just for southern gardens.

At Linden Hill, we stock cold-hardy selections including the April Series—Camellia japonica cultivars such as ‘April Kiss,’ ‘April Dawn,’ and ‘April Tryst’—known for their ability to perform into Zone 6 with proper siting.

We also grow selections from the Winter Series, developed using Camellia oleifera in crosses with other camellias. That C. oleifera parentage contributes much of the cold hardiness that makes these hybrids useful farther north.

And occasionally, we like to experiment with something a little more unusual, like the variegated Camellia sinensis ‘Lemon Tea,’ which is less cold hardy and better suited to Zone 7 conditions.

With camellias, hardiness is only part of the equation—placement matters. A protected site with light shade and less exposure to dramatic winter temperature fluctuations can make a significant difference in their performance.

The reward? Evergreen foliage and beautiful flowers when very little else is blooming.

    Viburnum × pragense, commonly known as Prague vibu Viburnum × pragense, commonly known as Prague viburnum, is an evergreen to semi-evergreen hybrid created from a cross between Viburnum rhytidophyllum and Viburnum utile, two species native to China.

This combination brings together the bold, textured foliage of leatherleaf viburnum with the compact evergreen character of V. utile.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, Prague viburnum forms a dense, upright shrub, typically reaching about 8–12 feet tall and wide. Glossy, dark green foliage provides strong year-round structure, while pink buds open to lightly fragrant white flower clusters in spring. Red fruit can follow, maturing to black later in the season.

A useful choice for screening, hedging, shrub borders, or as an evergreen specimen in the landscape.

    Viburnum × ‘Nantucket’ brings structure and year-r Viburnum × ‘Nantucket’ brings structure and year-round interest to the landscape with its upright habit and dark green, semi-evergreen foliage. In spring, it produces large clusters of white flowers, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, screening, hedging, or as a specimen shrub.

Hardy in USDA Zones 6–8, Viburnum × ‘Nantucket’ performs well in full sun to partial shade and is drought tolerant once established.

A versatile woody plant with plenty of presence in the landscape.
