Trees & Shrubs

Excitement and anticipation are the air of a new season.  The birds chirping, the sounds of outdoor activity everywhere!  At Van Wilgen’s we have that feeling every day and want to share it with you.  Our team in the nursery yard is here to make it happen. Whether you are looking to freshen up the front of your house, attract birds and butterflies, or just to get outside and dig in the dirt, we are here to help.

Please note, below is a sample of some of our favorite plants that we carry throughout the year, and not a representation of current inventory. To find out what’s in stock, pay us a visit or give us a call. We’re here to help.
