Who we are

Topiary Gardens was established in 1994. We are a small nursery in Central New York, 18 miles southwest of Syracuse. Our interest is in growing new and hard to find conifers, perennials, shrubs and trees. We have a special interest in Japanese maples with over 700 varieties available and we are adding to the collection every year. Our maples are grown from grafts that are produced at our nursery. A background in the production field of the nursery trade for over 30 years enables us to produce high quality plants with the utmost care.

As plant connoisseurs, we are able to bring to you many plants that you won't see at your typical garden centers. If there is something you are looking for, let us know, we may have it in our smaller stock area.

You are welcome to visit the nursery or make purchases at the nursery. The bloom time is from April through June and peak is reached in the middle of May. Call or write before coming for directions and to make sure someone will be available to assist you.

Plant Size and Tagging

Maples are sold as one gallon sized material unless stated as larger. They are two years old or older. Each maple was tagged at the time it was grafted to ensure no mix ups. The thermal tag shows the species, variety and date of the graft. We may have some maples in larger sizes. Please inquire with the variety name.

Shipping costs can be calculated by adding 30% to your order along with $8 boxing/handling fee.
