Description
We at Capital Nursery welcome you to our web site. Capital Nursery is a company that has served the Sacramento, California region for over 60 years. A family business founded by Charles Armstrong in 1936 is now working with the fourth generation. The Freeport Blvd. store continues to thrive and is the company's main facility.
The third Nursery opened in 1983 in Elk Grove, 15 miles south of the Freeport Blvd. location. We look to the future and are planning for our fourth store to be located in Rocklin, some 25 miles to the northeast.
Much of the plant information found on the site is aimed at those persons residing in USDA zone 9, and the Sunset Western Garden Book's zones 8, 9 and 14. Central California is blessed with one the best growing climates in the country. In mid February it is common for gardeners to ask for tomato and marigold plants. While we don't recommend them that early, in some years a person gets lucky and can have corn by June 1st (I did in 1988)! By mid March, most spring gardening is in full swing. Mid May is the about the time of the last rain, and usually doesn't show again until late October. Rain is rare during the summer; usually just glorious warm, dry days. Planting time really is all the time in this part of the world.
