WELCOME TO OUR HI-RES WEB SITE.

Our 2012 retail catalog is now completed and online. 

2012 Coenosium Gardens Catalog

Read what people are saying about Bob's recently published book, Small Conifers for Small Gardens. Bob wrote the text, took all of the photographs, and self published the book.

1. Fabulous job on the book.  I’ve really enjoyed – and learned from- it. 
   It is a real service to the industry and a great credit to you.    D.L., Oregon
    

2. I wish to order a second copy of your book.  C.G., Iowa
    

3. Thank you for writing this book!  Y.B., Wisconsin
    

4. I enjoyed your book so much, I would like to buy two more
   to give as Christmas presents.  J.G., Virginia
    

5. It is hard to put down. I read the whole thing in bed last night.  R.L., Missouri
    

6. Am enjoying it immensely and want to give it as a gift.   J.B., Oregon
    

7. Bob, that is a spectacular book. Not only is the information important but the entire composition of the book is so inviting and easy to read. The glossy paper is a nice touch! It should serve folks who are getting into conifers as a must-have book as well as a "checklist" type, similar to the one the "birders use".  J.T. Pennsylvania

Six golden 'Acrocona' seedlings have been propagated and officially named. Grafts are available for purchase and shipment Fall, 2011 until we close off the mail order business in the spring, 2013. Link to sales page: Acrogold

 2012 catalog entry page.

We no longer mail a descriptive catalog.  We now rely upon our web catalog to inform our customers as to what plants are available on an almost daily basis as well as providing pictures along with descriptions of our offerings.

Coenosium Gardens now has a wholesale liner division under development and when I retire from teaching I plan to move in this direction. Visit the page and see the Coenosium future by clicking on this hyperlink.

If you have a small retail nursery and want to expand into rare and unusual conifers, then you and I need to talk about your needs. Click on the link above, look things over, download the catalog, then contact me.

THIRTY-Three YEARS AND STILL GROWING!!

Click on the title above and see how many plants we have introduced to the American conifer world in those thirty-three years.

To help our customers plan ahead, Dianne and I have decided that Spring, 2013 will be our last shipping season. We will then close our retail mail order business. Until then, we will be selling down the inventory, and I will not be propagating to replace sold out items. We will also introduce a few other items at that time. As the time approaches, I will be posting more information about the future direction of Coenosium Gardens.

We will continue to sell plants at the nursery with a limited inventory of only the choicest conifers available in small numbers.

DOWNLOADABLE POWERPOINTS

A number of people have downloaded our free powerpoint on the history of the American Conifer Society. Bob will be offering additional powerpoints at a future date.

Since he is still teaching high school science, he has not had time to keep this web site as up-to-date as he would like. This year he is teaching chemistry for the first time and had to develop a curriculum for that class as well as a course in Natural Resources. Check his blog mentioned below to see what he has been up to on the educational front.

"I have been a high school science teacher for most of my life. It is a side of me that my many conifer friends know little about. I have decided that as my teaching career winds down toward retirement, that I would try blogging to share some of my experiences. If you'd like to experience some parts of life in a science classroom, pay my blog a visit."

Life in the Classroom of a Science Teacher

As this site grows, many of the spaces in the tables below will be filled with a nice variety of choices for the amateur and the professional.
