The Gardens at Mill Fleurs are collection gardens. They are personal and unique — as is every garden. Mill Fleurs definitely qualifies as an ‘eccentric American garden.’
We are fortunate that our streamside site, featuring massive rock outcroppings and steep woodland slopes, is magnificent all on its own. We have shoehorned onto it all the shade plants we can secure and keep alive.
While native plants and meadow installations are fashionable — and most important— today, at Mill Fleurs we are trying to stretch horticulture and zonal boundaries by planting every possible species of any genus we can grow. This is a conscious effort to acknowledge the rapid and violent daily loss of plant species around the planet because of habitat degradation, climate change, and the survival needs of the people who in habit these places.
Three guiding principles underly the design of Mill Fleurs: to bring cohesiveness to our great diversity of plant material by grouping plants by genus whenever possible; to organize the garden in color families; and to present plant collections in a way that is interesting to the casual visitor.
Many of the plants we offer at our nursery, Tiffany Perennials, are drawn from the garden. We also trial and share plants from around the world. Our selections are billed as ”Really, Really Rare Species, Interesting Natives, and Fancy Weeds!”
