Digging Dog Nursery is a family run mail-order plant nursery. Situated on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California, our mail-order nursery has been growing high quality perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees, and vines for 20 years.
You can order plants from our website, from our printed catalog, or come visit by appointment. Our nursery offers plants that are healthy, vigorous and ready to plant. Digging Dog Mail-Order Nursery offers a selection of tried and true garden performers, as well as many unique and hard-to-find varieties that excel for easy care, long blooming periods, and year-round appeal with an array of buds, blooms, seedheads, berries, intriguing foliage or bark.
In the following pages, you will find a versatile and extraordinary collection—a plethora of plants for formal or informal spaces, as well as naturalized meadows, woodland areas, Mediterranean and drier gardens, the rockery, and even some market plantings with a focus on fresh or dried arrangements.
