Spring is here! The earliest bulbs are blooming.

Shipping will begin on April 28th. Orders will be shipped in the order that we received them unless the customer specified a shipping date. Orders paid for by personal check will ship once the check has cleared.

At present we grow over 1200 varieties of hostas. The collections also include daylilies (more than 300 varieties), irises, peonies (50+ species and varieties), conifers and deciduous trees (more than 100 different), popular and rare lilacs (nearly 50 different), flowering trees and shrubs, uncounted numbers of other more or less unusual perennials, clematis, ferns, alpines, wildflowers, ornamental grasses, bulbs, and whatever else strikes our fancy, all in a bucolic setting surrounded by green fields and pastures, where Paso Fino horses cavort. We welcome visitors to Glenbrook Farm. We are, however, frequently occupied by shipping chores, propagation, acquisition trips and other related pursuits, so if you plan to visit, it is best to call ahead (518) 922-5091 in order that we may plan to give you our full attention. Extensive display gardens are (forever) under development.

We begin shipping in late April, depending on weather conditions, and continue until the end of September. Orders received after hot weather arrives will be shipped when weather permits, most likely in early September.

Ours is a small nursery focusing on wide selection rather than mass production so we do not have large quantities of any varieties, and only a few of some. The listings show how many are available, but we are not always able to update on a daily basis, so it is a good idea to e-mail for availability of varieties identified as being in very short supply; likewise if you want larger numbers of any one variety. You may list substitutes if you wish, and substitutions of equal or greater value will be made only from your list. A few varieties will not be ready to ship until late summer, and will be so identified. When an order includes fall-shipped plants, there is no additional shipping charge for the second shipment.

Many additional varieties are available at the nursery, where we also offer plants in gallon and larger containers. We also grow other plants that make attractive combinations with and agreeable companions for Hostas. Availability is very limited. Visitors to the farm will find a much wider selection than we can show on the web site.

Early order Bonus, valid until April 30th, 2008: Bonus plants of our choice are included with orders over $50.00, not including shipping or tax, when payment accompanies the order.
