After a great loss, Arrowhead will continue
On the morning of December 16th, Bob Stewart, great plantsman and co-founder of Arrowhead Alpines, passed after a long and brave battle against cancer. He was 59. Bob will be remembered for his vast knowledge, his boundless passion for the natural world, and for the immense generosity with which he shared these parts of himself. Whether through his epic catalog copy or long phone conversations or personal greenhouse tours, he enriched the lives of those in the horticultural community, as Allen Bush so vividly portrays in his wonderful article, “Bob Stewart’s Never-Ending Nursery.” We will miss Bob’s energy, his wit, his genius, and even his rants.
Arrowhead Alpines will continue to be run by Bob's wife, Brigitta, as the same on-site retail and mail-order nursery that you've come to love. The only difference is that we will no longer publish a paper catalog, which was a herculean task that Bob took on solely each year. We will continue to update the plant listings on the Arrowhead Shopping Cart, and we are taking orders now for 2012 spring shipping. The first ship-week is March 5, but if you absolutely have to have something earlier send us an email or call 517-223-3581.

We'd like to thank you, our customers, for perpetuating Bob's legacy in the beautiful gardens created with the plants he so lovingly nurtured. We will be having a public remembrance for Bob at our Winter Sucks Party, which will be on Saturday, February 25 at Arrowhead. This annual gathering of gardeners always attracts a great mix of people, and this year’s party will be extra special. It will start at 11am and last until whenever. Food and drink will be provided but feel free to bring anything you’d like to share.

Garden Treasures
Link Here
Click here to see our new selection of garden treasures. Over time in this business you tend to acquire a number of plants that mostly passed around between plant collectors, the majority of which are never for sale. Many of these plants are essentially unobtainable. Lots of luck finding any of them at your local garden center, or for that matter anywhere. These are mostly things that are in short supply and not cheap. I suspect most will sell out and may not be offered again for many years. We have decided to part with a few very choice things. Check back from time to time as the listing will change.

Take a look at the photo album of our retail area, Summer Rocks Festival 10, conifer and general gardens, and some of the animals that live here, either as pets or wildlife.

DISCLAIMER: A note from Bob Stewart, the author of this catalog:
"I am stuck with the task of writing this thing. Neither Brigitta nor anyone else is responsible for its content. If this catalog offends you (and I probably have offended everyone at one time or another), blame it on me. Please direct your complaints to Bob. (It won't do any more good than writing government officials but we may get a good laugh from it)."
Bob & Brigitta Stewart, Owners
