Although Colesville is primarily
a wholesale nursery we also serve the retail community.
Our limited staffing prevents us from offering design
or personalized shopping services, although our office
staff is happy to provide plant suggestions during non-peak
times. We suggest that you explore our website and compile
a plant list before shopping.
1. When I arrive at Colesville
Nursery what should I do? Upon
arriving all customers should check in at the office
where they will receive an inventory on a clipboard,
a map (for sample map click
here), and a sales slip for coding purchases.
If you would like assistance, you will be sent out into
the nursery to be met by a sales associate who will
assist you with loading and coding your plants. Please
feel free to drive through the nursery so that your
plants may be loaded directly into your vehicle.
2. I don't know what I want, but
I want to look around. Our
sales associates are here to help you. However, should
you wish to browse and code your own plant material,
here is what you need to know. Our inventory (located
on the clipboard that you were given upon check-in)
lists available plants alphabetically by botanical name.
In addition pricing and plant locations are given. Locations
correspond to hoop frames/drip beds shown on your map.
3. I've found a plant that I wish
to purchase. What should I do now? If
the plant you wish to purchase is a tree, you should
return to the office to have staff request that a sales
associate meet you. If you wish to purchase container
shrubs or perennials, you may either ask a sales associate
to assist you in the loading and coding of your purchase
or you may fill out your own sales slip.
4. I prefer to fill out my own
sales slip. How do I do it? To
view a sample sales slip, a sample sign, and a sample
tree tag click
here. One of the most important
items to be included when you fill out your sales slip
is the plant code that is located on
the plant signs and tree tags. Not every container plant
has one of our signs inserted in it, but there is always
at least one sign for a group of one type of plant.
In addition to the plant code you should carefully record
the quantity of each type of plant.
5. I have coded my plants. What
do I do now? Now that you
have recorded the plant codes and quantities of each
plant, you may ask a sales associate to help you load
plants into your vehicle. (We ask that you do not load
plants without assistance.) If you have an uncovered
truck and haven't brought a tarp with you, you may purchase
temporary tarp for $1 per foot. This purchase will protect
your new plants from wind damage during transport. Once
you are loaded return to the office with your clipboard
where you will be invoiced based on the information
on your sales slip.
6. The plants I wish to purchase
are too large for me to transport in my vehicle. Does
Colesville Nursery provide a delivery service?
Yes we do. You may either tag
the plants that you want delivered or give us your order
and we will select them for you. For further information
on deliveries click

plants click
