Couldn't find Rare Find Nursery
Comments (8)DON'T give up trying - you'll be missing a "rare find" indeed! I live next door in Freehold and this time of year, I drop in weekly just to stroll through the display and propagation areas - an endless sea of rhodo- dendrums (and azaleas, of course) in constantly shifting bloom, all nestled into a pine woods - but don't miss the main sales area and greenhouses where they have hundreds of other remarkable plants. Go soon: this continued rain isn't being kind to all the blooms. Both sets of directions above would work, since Wright- Debow Road runs from Rte. 537 all the way through to Rte. 526 - but coming from Interstate 195, the Rte. 537 is easier. Try this: when you exit the Interstate from either direction, be aware of the traffic lights - the first light is directly above the Interstate - the second light is the entrance to Jackson Outlets - the third light is the intersection of Rtes. 571/526. All this happens in LESS than one-half mile! Continue NE on Rte. 537 toward Freehold, but immediately start looking for Wright-Debow Rd. on your RIGHT (less than a mile) - turn onto this road and wander along for a mile or more, but the moment you cross over a major highway (it happens to be the Interstate) almost instantly turn RIGHT onto Patterson Rd. The big iron-gated entrance to Rare Find will appear on your LEFT with-in the first quarter mile. Try this when you leave: turn RIGHT onto Wright-Debow Rd. (instead of left, back over the highway bridge) and follow the road out to it's termination at Rte. 526 - if you turn right, it will take you back toward Jackson Outlets - if you turn left, it will take you further into Jackson along County Line Road and eventually all the way to Rte. 9. If you're from Jackson, that should sound familiar! To reach Ciccone's, approach it from either direction on Farmingdale Road (which it's on), a road that extends from Jackson Mills Road all the way across to Rte. 9 (the first section from Rte. 9 to Fort Plains Rd. is actually called Hulses Rd.) Don't you love the old English tradition of changing road names every time it intersects a new one?!!! LOL. . ....See MoreHelp me find a rare plant!
Comments (0)Hello! I was wondering if any of you growers can help me find a rare plant? I am looking for Lapageria Rosea aka the Chilean Bellflower. A nice healthy good size plant or even a good size cutting (or two). I cannot find it anywhere. That includes all of the auction sites and big nurseries. Therefore if anyone can help me find a plant or cuttings, I would be very thankful and would definitely compensate you for your time....See MoreHelp me find a rare plant!

Comments (3)You don't say where you are, but Berkeley Horticultural Nursery has it listed if you are close enough to go in person. I also read that it is sometimes available from plant sales at some of the botanical gardens in the San Francisco area, but again, you would need to be there in person....See Moregaryz8bpnw
