Gardening Outside with Windy-Lo
The smell of earth and sun and rain, the velvet feel of leaves, the bursts of vivid color … your garden is the heart of your outdoor life, and Windy-Lo has everything to make it perfect. Stroll our expansive and beautiful South Natick grounds and discover one of the widest selections in the region of extraordinarily high-quality perennials, annuals, shrubs and trees.
Our trees range from the familiar to the unusual, from small to full-grown, and include a wide selection of dwarf conifers and Japanese Maples.
Virtually all our perennials — from must-have classics to unusuals —are grown right here on Windy-Lo's 19 working acres by Heidi and Elise.
Healthy, local-grown annuals — vegetables, herbs, hanging baskets, and container plants — just plain thrive better.
Enjoy a wide selection of woodland plants, native plants, and ferns, or our lovely ornamental grasses and hostas.
