Rooted in Plaistow’s landscape — gardens cared for with experience and heart.
Gardening with Plaistow’s Local Landscape
With its sandy loam soils and steady coastal influence, Plaistow sits within USDA Zone 6a, ideal for a wide variety of flowering shrubs and perennials. The Powwow River and surrounding wetlands create areas with heavier, moisture-holding soils, while upland yards near Main Street dry out faster and benefit from compost enrichment.
We adapt every garden plan to these local conditions — balancing soil structure, choosing plants that match the site, and maintaining beds at the right time of year.
Town Office: 145 Main Street, Plaistow, NH 03865
Residents can bring yard waste to the Plaistow Transfer Station on Old County Road. Locally made compost is excellent for improving Plaistow’s soil texture and supporting plant health.

Weeding & Bed Care
We hand-weed and edge garden beds for clean, defined shapes and healthy plant growth. Regular weeding keeps your beds beautiful and free of invasive plants.
