In this product guide you will find information on more than 250 varieties of Herbs and Scented Geraniums that

we grow. We hope that this resource provides you with information that you find helpful. If we can offer any

other assistance please do not hesitate to contact us. Silverleaf Greenhouses not only offers one of the most

extensive selection of varieties, but we also offer these varieties in several different size containers, along with

small order minimums that make it convenient for all to order.

Silverleaf Greenhouses uses growing methods necessary to keep our production environmentally friendly.

Such as our beneficial insect program which is now entering its 15th year. This program utilizes a combination

of beneficial insects, nematodes, biological fungicides and insecticides. Any chemicals used are compatible

with these predatory insects, the growing of herbs and the safety of the environment. Though our growing

methods are similar to those who grow organically, our decision not to become certified organic provides us

with a spectrum of growing options that enables us to respond quickly and decisively should disease or pest

issues arise.

We strongly believe that it is what we do that brings us in tune with nature and our environment, not a label

attached to it. Silverleaf Greenhouses is committed to contributing in a responsible manner with respect for the

planet and all who inhabit it, while providing quality plant material to our customers.

Thank you for your past present and future support of our business. The entire Silverleaf team works hard to

provide unsurpassed QUALITY, SELECTION and SERVICE. If we can assist you in any way, please do

not hesitate to contact us via phone, fax or email.
