Woodward, Jeff

Jeff Woodward is the founder/owner of Woodward Greenhouses in Chapin. CT. He and his wife Karen have been operating the business for the past 30 years. Jeff says, “We grow year-round, including all the seasonal favorites in addition to many specialities such as daylilies and succulents.  It is clear, plants are our passion, branching out into moss topiaries, creating new “living walls,” and not being able to wait to open that box of exotic Roheo Sitara Gold that just came in from Costa Rica!  We continue to experiment as well, with new molds for our handmade hypertufa planters, creative combinations for our living wreaths, and fresh imaginative topiaries.” What is hyperfuta? Hypertufa is a mixture of perlite, peat moss, and cement with water. The result is a durable lightweight form that can be made into nearly any size or shape making hypertufa both unique as well as the perfect medium for garden art and architecture.  Another benefit of hypertufa planters comes from its ability to absorb water benefit of hypertufa planters comes from its ability to absorb water and give it back to the soil as it dries, which evens the overall moisture in planted containers.  We have been making imaginative hypertufa products since 2007. http://www.woodwardgreenhouses.com/index.html Programs: Hand Made / Hypertufa Garden Art
