Appointments:
We regret that our spring planting/propagation/shipping schedule prevents us from scheduling visits to the nursery before June. We are happy to accommodate order pickups during this time, but we are only two and the nursery is not a garden center—there are no helpful signs or tidy, cheery displays — only a handful of unhelpful, illegible tags (which almost certainly will be taken out and put back in the wrong pot!). We welcome inquiries for visits after June 1 when we have the bandwidth to assist in answering questions and identifying plants in the ground/pots. We strongly encourage visitors to the nursery to book appointments at Sakonnet Garden, which is just around the corner and now open May-October. NB: we will happily pass along our whereabouts when you reach out to set up an appointment. Please email ed@issimaworks.com or taylor@issimaworks.com to set up your appointment.
