Welcome to the NEW Art Form Nurseries website! Thanks for stopping by.

We are pleased to now provide customers, subscribers and other interested parties with a very informative plant selection experience.

The new catalog section of the website will allow viewers to peruse the complete Art Form Nurseries perennial and herb catalog. Plants are conveniently searchable in alphabetical order, or by a variety of view by features including characteristics, color, height, spread, season, sunlight exposure, zone and more.  Approved wholesale subscribers now have access to complete catalog pricing as well.

The news, video and gallery sections will allow us to continually update the website with the latest and greatest plant information, seasonal specials, “Hot Picks” and more. The contact form allows customers to ask detailed questions and get feedback from our expert staff.

Thanks again and we look forward to serving you.

Cowan Communication Arts recently interviewed Founder and President, Michael Artino, for the production of an overview video program for Art Form Nurseries. The following is an extended Q & A transcript from the video interview.

Q: Please describe your business.
A: We are a wholesale grower of perennials and herbs. The herbs are grown in 3 inch pots and sold in the spring and throughout the season we sell perennials in primarily one gallon pots. Our grasses are in 3 gallon pots and larger plants are in larger containers. But 90 percent of perennials are in 1′s.

Q: Please describe your growing operations.
A: The overall facility is 30 acres and heated greenhouse space is 1.65 acres.
We’re a medium sized grower. The nursery is divided into two parts and one part is just production, which is growing and finishing plants. And the other half is used as a sales yard so all our plants are brought to the sales yard, all our orders are pulled from the sales yard, which allows us to just be working with finished material when we have to pull orders in a short amount of time we don’t have to drive all over the nursery, and things are graded before they are brought to the sales yard, so it’s easier and quicker for the order pullers to take whatever they need.
