Spring Tree, Shrub & Vine Requests

A note from Natasha, Outdoor Buyer

We are fast approaching Fall -- one of my favorite seasons! Not only do we get to enjoy brisk air and bright colors, we also alas get to slow down. As the Outdoor Buyer, this time is invaluable to me in regards to preparing for the following Spring. Whether you are a long time gardener or were introduced to it during the pandemic, you are probably familiar with the hustle and bustle of Spring planting. It's as though one moment it's Winter and then the next day, Spring! At Urban Earth, we do our absolute best to bring in unique, healthy, edible and floriferous plants for your balconies and gardens. One of my greatest delights is hearing, "Wow, I've never seen this elsewhere!" or "I've been looking for this exact plant!"

While we do take plant requests, I have found that with the fast pace of Spring, it is very challenging to get ahold of special requests during that time. I am currently working on Spring Pre-Orders for next year and with all of you in mind, this got me thinking, “I want to try something new this year!” I'm hoping that if you send us your requests during the Fall, the slower season, we might be able to actually have them come in for you and fulfill your Spring planting dreams!

Maybe you have a list ready to go, or maybe you take a morning to sit in your garden and imagine the missing color, texture, season of interest and come up with a list of dream plants and then send them our way. I will be focused on taking requests for Trees and Shrubs during this time, but feel free to add in other dream plants as well. If you know the exact tree you want, great! If not, feel free to fill out the request sheet with the desired characteristics (deciduous, evergreen, Spring flowering, Fall color, height, etc.) and I'll see if I can come up with a match for you! Again, no guarantees, but at Urban Earth we are always up for trying something new, especially when it comes to helping our fronds (you all!) and your gardens!

Submitting a plant request does not guarantee that we will be able to source this plant for you. We will be in touch with you about the status of your request.
