Alpha Nursery Farmers' Market

Alpha Nursery & Garden Center is located 7 miles south of Cascade, Idaho. It is nestled in a valley in the South-Central mountains of Idaho at an elevation of 5,000 feet. The name of the nursery comes from the historic town of Alpha of the same location. Next to the Nursery is the Alpha Grange Hall, a local meeting place for the locals in the area. It was one time the local school house in the early 1900?s. A merry-go-round and swing set is still found in the yard of the Alpha Grange Hall. When you come visit our nursery, l0ok for the Alpha Grange Hall at the corner of Alpha Lane and State Highway 55 at mile marker 108 and you will find Alpha Nursery. We are in zone 4 and have a short growing season. Vegetable gardens yield the short maturity crops grown from seed and longer growing crops planted from pre-grown plants. You can still enjoy tomatoes and squash, but be ready to cover them at night if a frost shows up. Typically, our last frost is June 1st and our first frost is around the last of August. In the valley floor I have seen frosts even during the months of June, July and August, so just have your frost cloth available for those chilly nights to avoid disappointment. Landscape plants and perennials are planted and enjoyed for a longer period than vegetables. There is a wide range of these plants that can be planted singly or grouped into complete plantings for enjoyment during our beautiful spring, summer, and fall months. Many plants have winter interests. Berries, stems and foliage can be enjoyed during the winter. We offer a wide range of plants and gardening items. Please browse this site and when you are in the area take the time and stop by. Our goal is to service the needs of the local area of Valley County. We are a full service nursery and garden center able to supply your every need when it comes to gardening and landscaping. We aim to have a high level of quality, professional and knowledgeable service, and products.
