Summersweet Garden Nursery is a retail and mail-order plant nursery located in East Hardwick, Vermont, a beautiful part of the state known as the North East Kingdom. The nursery, greenhouse and display gardens are sited on the sunny fields behind our family home, an 1840s brick house at the edge of the village. We grow over 800 varieties of flowers, herbs and shrubs, specializing in heirloom and medicinal plants, and have a special fondness for tall garden Phlox. The eclectic gift shop specializes in summer hats for both women and men, tea-related items, useful garden tools, and much more.

The seasonal tea-room serves English Cream Teas in the flower garden or conservatory on summer afternoons. 

The nursery and gift shop are open from early May to mid-September, 10-5 Wednesday through Sunday. The Tea Garden is open from 11:00 to 4:00, roughly Memorial Day weekend to mid-September. We are closed on Mondays, and Tuesday. View our schedule and events.
