Do you know where your plant comes from? Where a plant is grown matters - Its root strength, resilience, and ability to survive transplanting. Plants raised in the Chicagoland region are already adapted to its soil composition, moisture levels, and seasonal extremes. At Chalet, our farm-grown plants develop in lake-irrigated ground with room to spread their roots, and many grow for an extra year before they're ever offered for sale. That means by the time a plant reaches your garden, it's not adjusting — it's already "home."
