Lazy
S'S Farm Nursery, a 39-year old family owned and operated business, 15 miles north of Charlottesville, VA,
offers 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.

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.
As
most of you already know, we made a transition in 2006 from being primarily a Retail Business to an Internet-Based
Mail Order Business! A big switch after 38 years of
Retail!
But
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've 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 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 than to
have them shipped anyway. |
