She said she got them from Ellmore's, but by the time I got there (about a week later) they were all gone. This year I promised myself I wouldn't miss out on them so I went there about 3 pm on the first day they were opened for the season. Well, I'm soooooo glad I did because they only had about 10 left, and I needed 4! I got 2 geraniums $(28/each) and 2 Boston ferns ($25/each), and they are huge and beautiful! They didn't have much variety of other plants for planting in the ground...Marigolds, geraniums, petunias, herbs, a few tomato plants and 3 meadow sage (of which I bought 2)...so that was a little disappointing, but all the plants they did have looked very healthy and hearty. I'll come back in a few weeks to check out what else they've got.

Equal to Stadler's, better than Abernathy & Spencer, all at much more reasonable prices. There's even perennials and annuals for your gardening pleasure. If I owned a plant nursery, I'd like to think I would run it the way these folks do this one. Focusing on quality over quantity, friendly service, all in a laid back, backyard kind of feel. Nothing's been over-fertilized to force it to bloom early (a trick used by a lot of nurseries to get you to buy the "pretty flowering plants"). This only results in disappointment when you realize your new plant has spent all of its energy producing flowers and none developing roots. Hint: don't be fooled by that trick. Buy from a reputable nursery, such as Ellmore's, and have better, healthier plants. It's a hidden gem just a bit down the little road beside Lowry's Crab Shack. Make sure you shop here first for your ferns, herbs, vegetable plants, perennials, etc. you won't be disappointed.

I live in Maryland, and Watermark Woods is over in Virginia. It is worth the trip. Exceptionally well run, organized, and friendly. The staff are really helpful and while there you will run into a bunch of like-minded people (like yourself) who want native plants and can chat with you about where to plant them and how things do in their gardens. I had a couple of tiny Asclepias (milkweeds) that never took off -- I brought them back and Watermark Woods gave me a credit to buy a different varietal -- great customer service. I have been there perhaps 6 times and will go back 3 - 4 times a year to load up on their beautiful native perennials. I love that place! P.S. I have a 14 acre farm and am trying to put the entire part of it that is not pasture into forest and native plantings. read more

Watermark Woods is unlike any other nursery I have visited...the staff is welcoming and knowledgable, the prices are fantastic, and the property is lovely and well organized. The inventory can be searched online and if something you want is out of stock, they will notify you as soon as it becomes available again. In addition, they will pull your order and hold it for several days for a very reasonable fee. Everything I have purchased from Watermark Woods has been robust and is now thriving in my gardens. As someone who prioritizes sustainability and biodiversity, I appreciate a nursery that specializes in natives. I drive almost an hour and a half to get to Watermark Woods, but this gem is worth it! read more

I've shopped at Watermark Woods ever since they opened about 10 years ago. The owner, Julie, and her staff are very knowledgeable about native plants and the benefits they provide to birds, pollinators and wildlife in general. They have helped me over the years choose the right plants for specific sites on my property. The website has a very convenient plant database where you can search for native plants that meet certain criteria such as size, sun vs shade, moisture requirements, etc. You can create a list of plants you're interested in with the plant location at the nursery, then email the list to yourself for easy shopping. read more

This nursery is a little hidden gem! I have visited it often over the last 2 years, as I am transforming a formerly wild grassy area into a meadow. Since adding the native plants, the insect, butterfly and bird activity has increased dramatically. The perennials I purchased were smaller plants with very healthy root systems, that established well. The variety is excellent, as well as the prices and I always check their website, to see what is in stock and what is coming, so I can plan my garden. Can't say enough about this wonderful place! read more

And if they do not have what you want then Julie will go out of her way to help you find what is needed.
