Our Display Gardens Stunning displays showcase the beauty of your plant as it matures under real life conditions Why Blue Horizon... It Takes the Unsual To Grow The Unsual... Meet Paul and Bill Paul, our grafting expert, has over 40 years of experience in the nursery trade. Bill retired after 27 years as a research scientist from the pharmaceutical industry and now is responsible for rooting cuttings. Our nursery, established in 2003 provides the highest quality rare plants to the enthusiast and the novice. We are located near the Michigan lakeshore, surrounded by orchards, vineyards and blueberry farms less than 10 minutes east of South Haven, Michigan. The nursery is nestled on a 71 acre parcel of land with over 10 acres of native wetlands for exploration, in addition to a 1 acre pond. The adventure began as a hobby with the two of us having a lifelong obsession with plants. Over time, we developed a keen interest in dwarf and miniature conifers and began collecting witches brooms, grafting and propagating the more unusual specimens. We are long-time members of the American Conifer Society (http://www.conifersociety.org/ ). We propagate most of our plants through grafting and rooted cuttings in addition to growing some plants from seed. Paul and Bill are always seeking out the newest plants with the most extraordinary characteristics. We welcome your suggestions to help shape Blue Horizon into a special destination for all to enjoy. Cultivars Grown From Nature's Own Mutations As collectors we felt there was a lack of “out of the norm” plants in most nurseries. What makes Blue Horizon varieties truly remarkable is that many of our cultivars originated from witches brooms. These are natural spontaneous mutations that are rare and possess unusual qualities. We hunted these natural treasures down and using expert grafting techniques now produce plants with extraordinary characteristics. At Blue Horizon, you’re not just getting something rare; you’re taking home a one-in-a-million living specimen, shaped by a passionate partnership of science and botany.
