Bridgewood Gardens is a nursery  specializing in growing hostas.  We have a great selection of quality hostas for sale at reasonable prices, grown at our nursery in Virginia, and shipped in pots.

Catalog Pages and Site Index►

We grow our hostas in two sizes, all shipped in containers.  Most of our standard size plants are grown in 3½" and 4½" (quart) containers.  We also offer some plants in a smaller size, which we call HalfPints, grown in 3½' pots and generally 40-60% less expensive.

Hosta 'Satisfaction'
A Bridgewood Gardens Introduction

Hostas are easy to grow perennials grown primarily for their colorful foliage.  They thrive in light shade and can survive for decades with little or no care.

Repellex Systemic Tablets

A New Approach to Deer
and Vole Problems

These tablets make the entire plant, from roots to flowers, taste like hot pepper, discouraging, voles, field mice, rabbits, and deer, virtually any mammal, from feeding on the plant leaves or roots.  The plant even gives off a faint pepper smell that the critters will learn to avoid. 

Apply just once a year.  Completely safe and non-poisonous.

We are sorry, but we are unable to ship plants to AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, MT, NM, NV, OR, UT, WA, WY or outside the U.S.

Plants shipped to these states must be shipped bare-root (by State law except for AK and HI).  We ship all plants in pots, and the time and expense involved in bare-rooting make it impractical.  We are sorry, but we are unable to comply with these requirements and we cannot ship to these states.

 


Our 1986 Catalog

We began growing hostas in 1979 when we opened our first garden center, The Crownsville Nursery. In 1984 we mailed our first perennial catalog.  Click here to see an image of our first two-page mail order hosta list, published in 1986.

This is Maggie, in charge of moving bulk materials and barking at things.

A warning to casual Hosta users:

Many of us, when we first started using Hostas, thought we could stop whenever we wanted. What begins as casual experimentation can quickly develop into a serious addiction. If you find that you actually want to know the differences between ‘Inniswood’ and ‘Paul’s Glory’, if you tell your spouse that you paid less than you really did for a new introduction, but brag to other gardeners that you paid more, or if you no longer care what your spouse thinks, you need help.

Help is available from Bridgewood Gardens, a nursery that specializes in caring for gardeners afflicted with Hostas.

Our Website

We built and maintain the site ourselves, and since we change it frequently, and since we don't always know what we are doing, you may occasionally find something that doesn't work.  If you find a broken link or something that doesn't work, please let us know and we'll see if we can fix it.

Privacy Statement

We don't share the information you give us with anybody, period. The information you provide when ordering is encrypted and sent to us via a secure server.
