Lazy
S'S Farm Nursery is a husband/wife owned business in operation
for 39 years, north of Charlottesville, VA. We
offer over 2000 varieties of Perennials, Shrubs and Trees.
We have one of
the largest retail selections of plants in the Country. You'll love our selection of
Rare,
Unusual & New Perennials
plus the Tried & True Classic Plants.
And what do people have to say about
our mail order plants and shipping?
"I
will never waste my time ordering from another online nursery
again. Your communication, quality of your plants and ship time
far surpass any of the others I have tried online. Your packing
is sheer genius and the plants arrived happy and safe! Thank
you for taking the worry out of online plant shopping. You have
my loyal patronage!"

| Tip:
Our website relies strongly on the use of your Browser's 'Back
Button' -- it returns you to the exact spot you came
from. We do have thousands of links and a plant navigation
bar on every plant page for moving forward to new locations but
our website is HUGE and getting in the habit of using your Back
Button is the easiest way to navigate when you want to 'Go Back'
to where you were.
We're
unique in that we are a Retail Nursery that grows most of our own plants and then sell them directly to
the public. You will see a difference in plants that aren't mass
produced but grown the old fashioned way, with loving hands instead of
machines and with scissors and pruners rather than Growth Regulators and lots
of chemicals. |

Our
Retail
Store is now Closed.
In 2006, w made a transition from being primarily a Retail Business to an Internet-Based
Mail Order Business! A big switch after 36 years of
Retail!
We're thrilled (overwhelmed, actually) at the
wonderful response we've had from our Mail Order customers and look
forward to giving you the same service that we always offered at our Retail Store.

About
the Nursery's Name...
When the original owners, Terri and
Pete Sheuchenko, the
parents of the current owners had a
sheep/cattle ranch in California, their Brand for Lazy S'S Ranch was sideways or 'Lazy'
S's.
Having a recognizable brand is
important when raising livestock to identify stock. When they moved to Virginia, they
used the same name but changed Ranch to Farm, since Ranch sounded a little
strange in Virginia!
 If you look closely at the
logo at left,
you'll see the sideways S's, shown here in white with a black leaf at the
bottom to make the 'brand' a little more nursery-like.
In answer to the occasional
question, spoken or thought, about our name:
"No -- the Sheuchenkos were a lovely, very conservative older
Ukrainian couple and the possible 'play on words' or a 'sound alike' term for
Lazy S'S
didn't occur to them!" :-)

Pick
Up Service for Local Customers:
Unfortunately, we are no longer able to provide
this service. We're so sorry but we are now strictly a mail
order only business. With gas prices as they currently are,
except for the largest orders, it's more costly to drive here than to
have them shipped anyway. |

Dear
Gardening Friends,
We're so glad you stopped by to visit. We
want to thank you for helping us do what we love to do -- grow plants!
