Have been to visit Harvey in Ontario---and hope to visit at St. Andrews when he's ready for prime time.

Even for those of us who may never visit - there are some super videos and blogs on Wrightman's site - not to be missed

"Wrightman Alpines moves to St. Andrews
Harvey Wrightman has been growing alpine plants for rock gardens for 30 years. He sells them to customers all over the continent through his mail order catalogue. While St. Andrews may not seem a to be great spot for alpine plants, that where he's moved his nursery and it turns out it's a perfect fit!"

 News from  Wrightman's    of a small  hold-up ...

"Wish I could say the online ordering is working, but no, not yet. We've had to update the entire site since last season, including the ordering system to be PCI compliant, and there is more to it than I'd hoped (no wonder small mail orders are dropping like flies). That mixed with the holidays and some services we need not being available for us has slowed the process down. But I don't think I'm being too optimistic in saying it should be ready in this coming week."

Wishing them well with their technical hiccup.

[Maggi Young]

News from Canada - Wrightman's technical problems are sorted ......

"Good news - the website ordering system was tested and the 2016 alpine plant list is now ready for orders!" www.wrightmanalpines.com     

[Maggi Young]

Good news! Wrightman's have resumed taking orders for 2016 Fall Shipping (September-October), now that the weather is starting to cool down.
