Open for business!

Due to the heat and drought conditions we have been closed for the month of July. If weather permits, we'll start digging daylilies in mid August and hold a big sale here towards the end of August.

Directions are on my Melanie's Perennials blog, just click "here"

About Me

Melanie: A woman with a desire to share all that she loves about the garden. For years I have lectured on gardening, photographed plants and written on gardening. Now, I'd like to spread my wings and also sell plants that are organically grown in my garden here on Long Island. Stay tuned for a few more secrets soon to be posted here!

Old Country Gardens

A Long Island woman's passion for gardening, now evolving into a business. (When I grow up I want to be...)

Visit our Long Island based blog too!

Melanie's Perennials has been designed and dedicated to Long Island Gardens but you'll find lots of information there for gardeners all over the world. Just click on the photo to stop by and visit us there.

Gardening Tip:

Too hot to work in the garden? Take advantage of those overcast mornings and shoot some photos!

Life is always an adventure...with Calie the Wonder-doodle
