Welcome to Opening Day at New Leaf Nursery!
A brand-new season is on the horizon, and we couldn’t be more excited! Fresh deliveries are rolling in, from bare root fruit trees to beautiful rhododendrons and seasonal plants, and our team is working hard to make sure everything is ready for you.
We’re officially kicking off the 2026 season, and there’s no better way to start than together at New Leaf! Whether you’re looking to refresh your garden beds, pick up seasonal favorites, or simply enjoy a stroll through our newly redesigned barn with a cup of Golden Glo Coffee in hand (now available for purchase in our barn), we’ve got something for everyone.
Join us for opening day on March 2. We’ll be open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM, come celebrate the season with us! Plus, Seed Reward Members will earn DOUBLE POINTS on all purchases from March 2–7. Not a member yet? SIGN UP HERE — it’s quick, easy, and the rewards keep growing with you!
We have been busy preparing for a spring that every year takes her time to arrive. The “behind the scenes” is more than just the plants themselves—from smoothing out the nursery grounds to refreshing our pottery, to pruning trees and topping off bulk material.
Our crew is giving it their all to make sure everything is ready to go — from unloading trucks to getting plants settled into their new spots. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
This year, we plan to introduce more native plants to our inventory, along with the much coveted, David Austin Roses. These full-petaled beauties originate from the United Kingdom, and have an incredible fragrance with the repeat blooming of today's roses — so you get gorgeous flowers that keep growing and actually smell amazing! They have been pruned with care, and are tucked into the rose greenhouse, where they will burst into leaf and blossom.
We are so excited to spend another amazing season with all of you! 2026 will be a time of connection, inspiration, and growth. With open arms and grateful hearts, we welcome you to Opening Day at New Leaf Nursery!
LEAFY LINEUP—
Exciting Happenings This Month!
Hold onto your gardening gloves — we’ve got a jam-packed month ahead to kick off the spring season at the nursery! From educational classes and hands-on workshops to planting sessions at our annual Houseplant Hoopla, there’s something for everyone. We’ll also be at the NIBCA Home & Garden Show, and we’re gearing up for our highly anticipated Spring Festival & Easter Egg Hunt. Our calendar is bursting with opportunities to connect, learn, and celebrate all things green, growing, and community.
NIBCA Home & Garden Show
The NIBCA Home and Garden show is an exciting event where local vendors and businesses showcase the latest in home design, landscaping, and gardening. Visitors can connect with industry professionals, explore the latest trends, and discover new ideas for their homes and gardens through engaging displays, interactive exhibits, informative seminars, and expert advice.
We’re thrilled to announce that New Leaf Nursery will be participating at the Home and Garden Show on a much larger scale this year! Taking place March 13–15, 2026 at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds, this is an event you won’t want to miss.
For the first time, we’ll be hosting the New Leaf Stage, a hub of activity featuring live classes, hands-on demonstrations, and artistic expressions designed to inspire your gardening and creativity. Whether you’re looking for tips on planting, want to see innovative garden designs in action, or simply enjoy learning new ways to bring beauty into your home and garden, there will be something for everyone!

Everybody loves Houseplant Hoopla! Where else can you go to have your houseplants repotted for free? Bring in your root-bound houseplants between March 16-21 during opening hours, and watch as our plant experts work their magic. Your beloved green babies will thrive once more, their roots set free to spread and grow in fresh, spacious pots. Bring your own pot or purchase one from our unique selection. While you wait, explore the beauty of our lush green houseplants in our garden center solarium. It's a day where houseplants take center stage and we celebrate the joy of indoor gardening. Don't miss this chance to pamper your plants and nourish your passion for all things leafy!
You bring the plants, we provide the soil and know how!
PLEASE NOTE: A limit of 6 plants per person is allowed and the maximum pot size available is 12”.

Our Spring Festival & Easter Egg Hunt is Back!
What better way to celebrate spring than a day filled with laughter and adventure with our New Leaf community?
Spring Festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for all ages. From colorful blooms and fresh fragrances, to an array of exciting activities, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. Our event planner has found some great new local artisans and food vendors, including Kozy Coffee Co and Vesper Charcuterie. Fear not — your favorites will be back as well. From kid’s crafts, games, and a petting zoo provided by 4H (ALL proceeds from the petting zoo will go directly to supporting these hardworking young equestrians), to spring plants and beautiful spring and early summer home and garden décor, we’ve got something to keep the entire family entertained!
The highlight of our Spring Festival is our annual Easter Egg Hunt and our very own special guest, the Easter Bunny, himself!
Mark your calendars for April 4th! We can't wait to see you at our Spring Festival and Easter Egg Hunt. Prepare yourselves for a day of pure delight, and start the new season in the most joyful way possible here at New Leaf Nursery! Stay tuned for more information on the festival, vendors and egg hunt times — it will be added to our website soon.
Meet Ciro — The Jack-of-All-Trades!
If you’ve ever visited New Leaf, chances are you’ve spotted Ciro everywhere—loading trucks, unloading deliveries, and tackling just about any task you can imagine. But Ciro’s magic doesn’t stop there—he’s the crafting genius behind every display and prop, from Santa’s famous sleigh to the music stage at our Fall Festival. There’s truly nothing he can’t do, and we’re so lucky to have him on our team. And if you haven’t heard his famous Italian accent, you’re in for a treat!
Next time you’re in the nursery, keep an eye out for Ciro and make sure to say hello!
