Planted for Success

We have a unique philosophy for how we grow our plants. We call it Grandpa's Secret Recipe. We can't share all our secrets - but read on to learn more about our growing methods and what we do to Guarantee Your Success.

We still grow using Grandpa's Secret Recipe

We regularly hear from customers that our plants are some of the healthiest and most vigorous on the market. They tell us that our plants "Just grow!"

Why?

Here are the top 5 components of Grandpa's Secret Recipe:

  • We work with the natural growth of plants - we avoid using chemicals called Plant Growth Regulators (PGR's), which are chemicals that limit a plant's height and cause them to flower uniformly and look deeper green. But they can easily be over-applied, resulting in stunted plants that never seem to grow.
  • We pay careful attention to watering correctly and thoroughly. This means our plants have healthy, clean-white roots. Healthy roots grow healthy shoots!
  • We use premium potting soil, premium fertilizer, and premium cuttings and seedlings from the best suppliers in the industry. We want our plants and our customers to have the best that is available!
  • We grow plants that have proven themselves in central Virginia. We listen to our customers and get feedback on what is doing great and what is mediocre, and we constantly fine-tune our offerings to focus only on the BEST.
  • We are conscious of our pesticide use and constantly work to reduce or eliminate it. We use beneficial insects for about 75% of our crops, and we only use Certified Organic sprays on our vegetables and herbs. When a spray is absolutely necessary, treat preventatively so we can use the lowest dose, and we target spray just the crops that need it most.  About half of our crops are never sprayed at all - thanks to our beneficial insects! And we never use Neonicotinoid-based sprays, which are harmful to honey bees.

Hear what our customers are saying:

"I have always loved shopping for plants at Windmill Heights. My mother took me there when I was in grade school, (a very, very long time ago), I'm 69 so that should tell you how long my family and I have enjoyed their beautiful, healthy plants. I hope everyone will try them out, for their plants are very healthy and each plant will give you a great start in your garden or landscape."
