ORANGE, Calif., May 29, 2012 — Village Nurseries, a specialty wholesale grower for landscape professionals, today announced they are now offering the new Sunset Western Garden Collection(TM) to California gardening enthusiasts through Orchard Supply Hardware’s statewide 89-store chain.


The first live plant collection to focus exclusively on top performing plants for the western United States, the 29-plant Sunset Western Garden Collection is licensed to Plant Development Services from Sunset Publishing Corporation, long heralded as the expert authority on Western gardening. This spring, Sunset released the 9th edition of its Western Garden book, considered since 1967 the bible of gardening books for the Western United States.
