Welcome to Acer Gardens home page. Bill & Sharon Harris are the owners of this landscape/nursery operated on 16 acres in Deep River, Connecticut. Since 1983 we have grown plant material for landscape installation. [more...]
Plants have always been the corner stone of our business. Acer Gardens offers perennials, ground covers, herbs and shrubs to plant enthusiasts (like ourselves). Remember, we are not plant brokers who represent many companies but a small company that knows and grows it's own plant material. [more...]
Plant care.... This section will discuss how to care for plants you have bought from us. Landscape question, discussions and general topics of interest. [more...]
Links of interest we have found on the internet. These horticultural sites will vary from A to Z. [more...]
A Final Note: This site is a work in progress. Our expertise is in horticulture, which we would like to share with everyone. Your webmaster at this site is Bill Harris. My wife and I have degrees in Agronomy and Horticulture with a learner's permit in HTML4, CSS, Dynamic HTML, JAVA, CGI, etc... At this point - plants first and web design will follow.
I am hoping to have this website write quickly to all types of computers, with different browsers and at slow connection speeds. If problems are incurred or you have suggestions for improvements - please send an email.
