Our Commitment

We are committed to promoting the advantages of native plants in conjunction with the beautification of landscapes in equal parts harmony.

The team at Bumbee’s gets excited about plants, period – it’s what we do. We offer selections that boast continuous blooms from spring through frost along with ecological choices critical in the support of the interconnected food web.

If you have been passionate about nature for some time or are just getting started at your home, we’re here to help you on your journey.  

Thank you for visiting Bumbee’s, we look forward to hearing from you.  

Country Gardens Nursery was founded in 1947 by S. Robert (Bob) Gettinger. Bob Gettinger’s 6 grandchildren lovingly referred to their grandfather as “Bombie.“

What Our Clients Say

The order was promptly filled and delivered, within 6 days! The plants' packaging protected them very well! They are only slightly breaking buds, the signs of life were pleasing to see. You have handed success over to me, so that I may also succeed! Merci Boucoups!!!
- Pauli P.
"The shipment arrived in good condition and very promptly after ordering.  I have ordered Tiarella in the past from other vendors, who only offer bare root plants. The bare root plants take 2-3 years to get a decent plant.  The Tiarella from Bumbee's looks like a 5 year plant. I was so pleased with the plants, I just placed another order today, with some additional ferns. Recommend this vendor highly."
- Laura C.
"Ordered 50 iris versicolor and coneflower and my order came quick and in great condition. Good communication and prices as well. Definitely ordering again."

"A wonderful farm and a great farming family!"
