When is the Next Hoffman Nursery Catalog?We know for many of you, the Hoffman Nursery catalog is your go-to place for grasses. So never fea r, the 2013-2014 Catalog of Grasses will be available this July. We'll have copies at OFA and SNA trade shows, and we'll mail them to regular customers. It has the same great plant profiles you're used to, as well as plant lists to help you choose just the right grass. Click on the image to the right to see a larger version of the cover.

You Say the Nicest Things
With our new website, we have a place to regularly highlight the feedback our customers give us. One of the nicest, recent comments we received was from a grower located near Philadelphia. He contacted us specifically to say how pleased he was:
"The load of material that we received from you today was probably the nicest material we have ever received from anyone, ever. Thanks for being the best! "
It's very gratifying to hear we're sending out high quality plants and our customers enjoy working with us. We certainly enjoy working with you!
