FAQ
Do you sell any cultivars?
We have decided not to sell cultivars at this time in favor of straight species. By growing genetically unique plants, we hope to promote genetic diversity within our local ecotypes. Many cultivars are also trademarked, making it more complicated and expensive for us to sell.
Where do you source your seeds / plants?
We strive to source our seeds and plants from local sources, including sustainably harvested wild seeds, local gardens, and local seed vendors. However, this can be limiting or impractical at times, and we will purchase seeds from online seed vendors in order to provide a wider selection.
Do you have any deer resistant plants?
It really depends on your location and its deer population. We have found that the deer within Lexington city limits may eat many plants labeled as 'deer resistant,' while deer in the county will leave those same plants alone. We recommend protecting new transplants with either cages or deer repellent for at least the first year so that they can get established. That said, deer will not eat grasses or ferns, and most plants in the mint family will be fine (i.e. Monarda, Mountain Mint, Hyssop, etc.).
Do you offer delivery for online orders?
We currently only offer local pick up for online orders at Woods Creek Windup (411 Lime Kiln Road, Lexington, VA, 24450). Please note that we do not ship plants. View our Online Ordering Terms for more information.
Where do you sell your plants? Can I visit your nursery?
Our nursery is not open to the public at this time. To purchase plants, you can attend any of our in-person pop-up sales or place an order online for local pickup. Join our mailing list or follow our social media accounts to stay updated.
Can you visit my home to help me select appropriate plants?
While we want to help you select the best plants for your space, we do not offer site visits or design services at this time. Please contact us with any questions about the plants we sell, or ask us questions in person at one of our sales. We will also happily recommend gardening and landscape design services within Rockbridge county.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes, we sell digital gift cards that include single-use codes that can be redeemed during online checkout. These codes may also be redeemed during our in-person sales by presenting the code at time of checkout. Please contact us through our online form for more information and/or to purchase a gift card.
Can I bring you my used pots for you to reuse?
To avoid having our pots end up in the landfill after only a single use, we will accept the pots that our plants were sold in that have been rinsed. We do not accept pots from other sellers. Due to the sanitation protocols we must follow in order to reuse pots, we also require pots to be rinsed prior to being returned.
