Garden Sets

Thoughtfully designed garden beginnings.

What is a Garden Set?

A Garden Set is a small, intentional group of young plants selected to grow well together and create a specific style of garden vignette. Rather than choosing plants one by one, these sets offer a thoughtful starting point—grounded in horticulture, design, and real garden experience.

Selected to establish quickly an reliably

Released in limited, seasonal runs

Curated by Woodlanders

A rare plants nursery established in 1979 and rooted in Aiken, South Carolina.

Low-lying areas that experience periodic flooding or slow drainage
Rain gardens and bioswales designed to manage stormwater naturally

New to gardening?

These sets are designed to help you start with confidence. The plants are forgiving, the guidance is clear, and the focus is on building a garden that works—without needing expert knowledge or perfect technique.

Seasoned gardener?

These sets offer a curated foundation—plants chosen for how they interact, establish, and evolve. Use them as a framework, a filler, or a starting point for something more layered and personal. (with an affordable price point for the quantity, too!)

Designed by Woodlanders

Each Garden Set is developed in-house, drawing from decades of nursery experience, botanical research, and real-world planting. These are not mass-produced bundles—they are thoughtful, seasonal offerings shaped by how plants actually grow.
