The Wait is Almost Over—

Fruit Trees Arriving Soon!

We know a lot of you have been waiting patiently on the ‘wish list’ for the tree you weren’t able to get last season. If you did sign up, you will get a call when your variety arrives at the nursery. Once you get the call, simply pay for the tree, and if you like, come pick out your tree, we will label it, and we will house it for you in our greenhouse to protect it from the freeze, and it will be ready for you to pick up generally around the 2nd week of May. If you didn’t get a chance to sign up, we suggest reserving your fruit trees in person by coming in opening day, March 1, 2025 to see what we have to offer! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can lend you their expertise to match you with the perfect selections.

If you’d like to be added to our fruit tree wish list, you can send us an email below with the fruit trees you’re interested in and the zone you live in. Please note that being added to our wish list does not guarantee that you will get your trees reserved, but you will get first choice when we call you regarding your fruit tree wants.

If you share our enthusiasm for plants and our passion for helping New Leaf shoppers become successful gardeners, we invite you to join our amazing team at New Leaf Nursery!


Blooming Big in 2025

Blooming Big in 2025—

Your Best Gardening Year Yet!

One of the greatest things about our community is that we are welcoming, and willing to help our neighbors. At New Leaf Nursery, we are continually inspired by the kindness, enthusiasm, and collaborative nature of the people we serve. This past year, 2024, was a time of remarkable growth within our community. We are proud to have grown along with our area, and to have been able to provide beautiful garden plants, trees and flowers to the community.

As we look ahead, 2025 promises a year filled with new opportunities. Our plant product line will continue to grow to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We are also increasing our seed supplies with the rising popularity of home gardening. The new years’ classes and events are being planned now with the emphasis on community involvement, and we firmly believe that introducing kids to gardening early fosters a lifelong love of gardening, an appreciation for nature, and a deep respect for the great outdoors.

To kick off the year, we’re offering a series of engaging workshops and classes throughout February—before the nursery officially opens on March 1. These classes are an excellent opportunity to stay connected during the quieter winter months. They allow us to share our expertise, spark your creativity, and provide a little fun as we eagerly await the start of spring.

New to the class lineup this year is a series of seed starting workshops. Each workshop will dive into a specific group like nightshades, herbs, brassicas, and onions/shallots. You will learn all about soil preparation, seed selection, planting tips, and proper care to set your crops up for success. But that’s not all! We’ll provide all the materials you need, including a seed starting kit with soil, a warming mat, and seeds.

We’d love to introduce you to Ashley, our newest instructor here at New Leaf who will be teaching our seed starting workshops. You may already recognize Ashley; she is a local farmer and works at the nursery as a sales associate. Her expertise will benefit you greatly as you begin to learn about seed starting. Ashley is also our ambassador for The Farmstand at New Leaf. The Farmstand is a seasonal market for local produce growers, dairy and meat farmers, fresh juices, breads and pastries, and local honey. The Farmstand runs during the growing season from June to September, showcasing seasonal produce and foods for your daily needs.

To learn more about these workshops, and for a full list of this year’s classes and events, please visit our website.


We’re thrilled to announce the launch of The Lil' Sprouts Garden Club—an exciting new series of classes and events just for kids! This program is designed to spark curiosity and wonder, and cultivate a love for nature in the youngest members of our community.

The Lil' Sprouts Garden Club will take kids on a fun and educational journey into the world of gardening and art projects. Each class will include educational and hands-on DIY art projects that allow your kiddos to unleash their imagination while building new skills. From painting colorful pots to designing enchanting fairy gardens, crafting bird feeder wreaths and more, every activity is inspired by nature and designed to ignite their creativity.

Whether your child is a budding botanist or an aspiring artist, The Lil' Sprouts Garden Club is the perfect place for them to learn, grow, and have a great time.

The Wait it is Over—

Christmas Trees Are Here!

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our regionally grown, fresh-cut Christmas trees! When you join us at the nursery, you’ll be greeted by rows upon rows of beautiful trees, perfect for bringing holiday cheer into your home. Plan to visit early – these seasonal favorites are in high demand, and we want to help you find the perfect tree for your family traditions!

Looking for a tree with a unique touch? We offer flocking services for any fresh-cut tree. For those who want to make their Christmas tree a long-lasting part of their holiday memories, we also have living Christmas trees that can later be planted in your landscape, bringing beauty for years to come.

Friendly Reminder! We have transitioned to our special holiday hours:

  • Monday–Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

  • Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

  • Sunday: 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM

PLEASE NOTE—We will be closed Thanksgiving day, but we will reopen the next day for normal sales.


Community Spirit Open House

Our Holiday Open House is this Saturday from 12:00-7:00 PM! Please plan to join us at the nursery for a day of holiday cheer and appreciation of you, our community. Whether you decide to take a stroll through the nursery and look for your perfect Christmas tree, or you’re sipping hot chocolate or coffee by the fire while roasting some marshmallows, we can’t think of a better way to kick off the holiday season than with our friends and community!

Seasonal drinks and hot coffee will be served by Ugly Dog Coffee, and $5 pony rides will be available from Beyond the Bit in greenhouse 7. This is the perfect opportunity to get a head start on the holiday season! Discover the finest selection of Christmas trees, vibrant poinsettias, fresh wreaths and garlands, festive holiday decorations and centerpieces, unique gifts, and dazzling ornaments. Don’t miss our collection of beautifully lit holiday décor and thoughtfully chosen gardening gifts—there’s something special for everyone on your list!

Seeds Club Rewards members will earn DOUBLE REWARDS on everything purchased that day, plus an additional 25% off one Holiday item in the barn (excluding Christmas trees and consignment items). Sign-up online to become part of our rewards program!

This year, our wreaths are designed to stand out with their one-of-a-kind, handcrafted charm. Each wreath features carefully placed elements that bring natural beauty to life—think colorful berries, unique textures, and foliage. These wreaths truly are a "cut above" and make for a stunning addition to your holiday decor.

Our garlands are equally impressive, offering a lush, full appearance that instantly brings warmth and elegance to any space. Each strand stretches a generous 25 feet, offering plenty of length to decorate an 8-foot mantel and a standard doorway in one go. If you're decorating a double doorway, one garland will perfectly frame it, creating a grand and inviting look.

For an extra pop of festive color, we also offer bright red ribbons, which can be artfully added to either the wreaths or garlands. Whether you're going for timeless tradition or something uniquely personal, our holiday greenery will transform your home into a holiday wonderland!

Local grower, Holly Vesterby with Wylde Bloems will be dropping off Amaryllis for you to purchase starting November 30th. Amaryllis have become increasingly popular Christmas plants due to their willingness to bloom indoors in winter, producing bright, colorful flowers. If you prefer a fashionable alternative to poinsettias or Christmas cactus, come get one of Holly’s beautiful Amaryllis!

SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN!

We are excited to share that Santa Claus himself will be stopping by to spread holiday cheer! Mark your calendars for this Saturday, November 30th, when Santa will be here from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Bring the whole family and join us for a festive day filled with holiday magic. Snap a selfie with Santa, share your wish list, and make memories to last a lifetime. It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season and create a December to remember!

SHOP WITH A CAUSE

We are so proud to support the efforts of the Make-A-Wish Idaho Foundation. This year, a portion of the nursery sales from our Community Spirit Open House on November 30 will be donated to the Make-A-Wish Idaho Foundation.

A special tree was donated to the foundation that will be on display at the Silver Lake Mall in Coeur d’Alene from November 29 to December 31. There will be an ornament on the tree for each North Idaho wish kid who is awaiting their wish. You can scan the QR code on their ornament to learn more about them and their wish.

Make sure to stop by to see the holiday tree at the Silver Lake Mall this holiday season!


WINTER IS ON THE WAY

One Season Ends and Another Begins!

Another amazing growing season comes to a close in North Idaho, and with anticipation, we planted our bulbs, and we are working on winterizing the last shrubs and perennials in all our gardens, knowing that spring will come again soon, and our gardens will erupt with color once again!

Don’t be fooled by our minimalist aesthetic! While we are performing our annual cleanup here at the nursery in preparation for Christmas trees, please know that we are still open Monday-Saturday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. We are accepting bulk orders and offering bulk deliveries, and you can still find some awesome trees and shrubs on sale. All the houseplants are on sale in the barn too, where you can BUY TWO & GET ONE FREE! This is just a small sampling of what we have. Come find the one that has your name on it!


What Causes a Tree to Enter Dormancy?

Have you ever stopped to wonder what makes a tree lose its leaves in the fall and flower in the spring? Here in the Inland Northwest, a lot of trees and shrubs experience a process called dormancy. When a tree goes dormant, it’s the time in which the tree is alive, but not actively growing. It is during this time that the inner workings of a tree slow down and pause until conditions change to allow for productive growth.

Unlike evergreen tree species which can retain their foliage on account of adaptations, deciduous trees enter into dormancy to prevent the loss of water and nutrients, and to avoid the damage cold temperatures can produce. It’s important to note that dormancy helps trees—it ultimately keeps the tree alive, both in the short- and long-term. The lifespan of a tree or plant is dramatically decreased if the tree isn't allowed to go dormant for a few months. Just as bears use hibernation to survive without their usual resources in warmer months, trees use dormancy to protect themselves so they can grow again in the warmer months.

If you’re curious about the science behind the beginning stages of dormancy, you can watch this video from New Leaf Nursery Plant Specialist Jen, where she explains why leaves change color in the fall—a common side effect of the tree entering dormancy.
