Village Nurseries featured the world’s first dwarf Jacaranda (Jacaranda ‘Sakai01’ Bonsai Blue PPAF) and other new plant introductions at the 2017 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) National Conference and Expo.
As a specialty grower, Orange, California-based Village Nurseries says it offers the variety, quality and depth of product demanded by landscape architects seeking wide options of trees and shrubs. Many of these, Village Nurseries says, are patented or exclusive and not readily available at other wholesale nurseries.
The company’s booth included Village Nurseries-grown Monrovia’s Distinctively Better plants as well as Anthony Tesselaar’s Flower Carpet roses and the Sunset Western Garden Collection.
