Welcome to Plant and Gnome

Plant and Gnome is a garden nursery with growing locations in Charleston and  Gilmer County in central West Virginia,  USA. From this website or by mail order you can purchase an eclectic mixture of bare root, (Dec.-Mar.); and containerized ornamental trees, shrubs and soft fruit; and have them shipped to your door.. We also sell willow cuttings, (Dec.-Mar.), and Live Green Christmas wreaths. In Charleston and Central WV we also undertake landscape installations.

  We are excited about a new year of creation and possibility ahead. We have some new varieties in our updated plant list for Shipping in 2010. We have also listed some soft fruit. There are also edible plants amongst our ornamental shrubs and tree listings.

We have stopped shipping Bare Root Plants and Willow Cuttings for Spring 2010. The price list is just left up for comparison and to peak interest for next year. Bare root plants are usually larger as they are cheaper to ship, willow cuttings offer unbeatable value for florists and basket makers.

 March has been particularly busy as we had a late winter and have been moving nursery stock from Glenville to Charleston. Life should be a little more settled in April, keeping in touch with the world is not always easy in the hills of WV. We will start selling in the outdoor 'Farmers Market' at the Capital Market, in Charleston in April and May. We have many plants that we do not list on here, large B&B plants suitable for your landscape installation needs,  perennials and 'disease resistant' fruit trees.

 If you don't find your answer here please e-mail your question. You can also call or text this number 304 881 7037 as well as the office number listed on the ordering page. We wish you well in all your endeavors.

Happy gardening, Chris. Chief Executive Gnome
