Three ways to go tropical
Every palm is delivered and installed by our crew — and when the season ends, we can take it back and keep it alive for next summer.
Buy tropicals + palms
New England's largest selection, straight from the greenhouse — with the Zone Pusher System, Dumb Dirt Guy soil, and Palm Guard to keep them thriving.

Weddings, patios, venues, whole seasons — lease the oasis instead of buying it, and let the greenhouse take it back after.

Staged shoots, Christmas minis, headshots, maternity and engagement sessions — thousands of families shoot among the palms every year.

Where the season is right now.
A palm in the Northeast lives on a calendar, not a whim. Here is where that calendar sits today, and what the next move is.
First frost in Connecticut averages around the end of September and has reached just about everywhere by late October — earlier inland and up high, later along the shore. One cold night is all it takes, which is why the pickup list is written before the forecast is.
How big is ten feet, really?
An 8 ft palm stands about a foot and a half over a six-foot person — under the roof line, easy on a patio.
Summer's ending. Your palms don't have to.
Overwinter at The Gardens at Stone Post Key — your palms live out the cold months in our greenhouse, and you can stop in and see your tropical babies all winter long.
