Wasson Nursery Soft Opening (Grand Opening April 21-23, 2017)

Wasson Nursery is opening a location in Fishers, IN on April 21 (but they are technically already open)

I got a tip from my brother that there was a new nursery opening in Fishers. I usually go to Lowe's for plants and sometimes to Allisonville Nursery if I'm feeling high-end, but this Wasson Fishers location would be a lot closer that Allisonville, so I thought I'd check it out. Their 'soft opening' means that they don't have all of their stuff out yet, and the staff is still learning.

They've already got some great looking plants out. I want all of them!

They have a really nice showroom area for outdoor living spaces

Love this water feature - if only I had a bigger yard! 

Water features if you don't have room for a pond. This rock garden is so pretty!

I learned from the staff that they grow a lot of their plants up in Muncie and then bring them down, so they are not shipped in from Oregon and California like a lot of the big box stores. So you can get the same varieties that you can get nationally, but if you like the whole locally grown aspect, check them out.

They also have a huge greenhouse that was nice and cozy on this still-rather-brisk April morning.

I will definitely be back for these hosta varieties that I just fell in love with. I love a nice clean leaf (no crinkle) with tight veins and bright colors. The red stems on 'Fire Island' is just amazing. I just hope it doesn't turn into expensive rabbit food.
