Some years ago on my first visit to your nursery, Mr.DeBaggio came up to me and we exchanged a few pleasantries about the plants I was purchasing. Those few moments have never left my memory; he was an extraordinary man of compelling presence. I am so sorry to learn that he passed last year, but know now he has found peace. His legacy will long live in the hearts of those who knew him.

Hope all is well and this mild winter hasn't messed up any of the plants i have on my long Wish list - so far!! So looking to spring! Which the 1st day of spring for me is when i can come out to DeBaggio's. Last year my garden was fantastic and I have a little more knowledge and want to do even more with what i find out there this year. Thanks for all you do!

Stumbled onto this site after reading the article about Scented Geraniums on the Dave's Garden Weekly Newsletter. Haven't found scented geraniums locally, so it's been years since I grew them (when I was living elsewhere in the country more than a decade ago). May need to make a trip down your way next spring to buy some. It was only after reading thru the site's testimonials that I realized you are the nursery and family associated with the touching series on NPR. I knew "DeBaggio's Nursery" sounded familiar; now I realize why. Yours is a heart-wrenching tale, illuminating for those of us who have not had to deal with the nightmare of Alzheimers Disease and its impact on the entire family. Thank you for sharing your lives with NPR listeners.

I read Mr. DeBaggio's book Losing My Mind and wanted to say that I was deeply touched. I knew next to nothing about Alzheimer's before I started, and had not realized before how painful an affliction it must be for the family. My heart goes out to you, and I'll certainly keep you in my prayers.

No matter how warm the weather, how clear the sky, spring hasn't arrived until DeBaggio's doors open for the season. Looks like another fabulous year for my herb garden, thanks to you.

I was talking on the net about the first rosemary plant (Arp) that I bought at the Ivy Street shop way back when. It grew to 4' tall and was a wonderful plant only to succumb to an ice storm. Tom's catalogs were wonderful to read and had me salivating over future uses for the wonderful herbs.
I hope to visit the nursery in the spring because I fear for my current plants under a couple of feet of snow here in Annapolis. But you never know!

Of the many things I miss about living in the Northern Virginia Area are the lovely spring days, the crocuses pushing up through the melting snow, and the thought of growing tomatoes. The plants I had purchased from the DeBaggio Family produced the most beautiful tomatoes I had ever had the pleasure to consume; they were consistently healthy, and sprouted lovely red jewels of fruit. I only wish I could find plant of that caliber where I am now.

I'm having a hard time waiting for your March 29th opening. The internet site helps. I'm planning on tapping an even wider selection of heirloom tomatoes, vegetables and herbs this year. You have the healthiest plants I have ever purchased-- they transplant easily and produce sooner. My mom is coming with me to buy more oatmeal soap that keeps dry skin in check, especially during the winter.
