Coenosium Gardens
 

Over the next few weeks this web site will be undergoing extensive modifications. I have already deleted many of the older files that have seen little activity over the last year. I am going to turn this site into a site devoted to my publications and books. The cnos.biz website will be the site more focused on conifer information and conifer sales.

The articles and musings on this site will be gone in a short time as I remake this web site. Most of them will be redone and will be republished at cnos.biz at some future date.

We have startted reducing the size of our nursery and plan to do shipping for the next two years, three at the max. Our spring shipping is done for this year and we are now processing orders for fall shipment (late September, 2013).

Read what people are saying about Bob's recently published book, Small Conifers for Small Gardens. Bob wrote the text, took all of the photographs, and self published the book.

  1. Fabulous job on the book.  I’ve really enjoyed – and learned from- it. 
    It is a real service to the industry and a great credit to you.    D.L., Oregon
     

  2. I wish to order a second copy of your book.  C.G., Iowa
     

  3. Thank you for writing this book!  Y.B., Wisconsin
     

  4. I enjoyed your book so much, I would like to buy two more
    to give as Christmas presents.  J.G., Virginia
     

  5. It is hard to put down. I read the whole thing in bed last night.  R.L., Missouri
     

  6. Am enjoying it immensely and want to give it as a gift.   J.B., Oregon
     

  7. Bob, that is a spectacular book. Not only is the information important but the entire composition of the book is so inviting and easy to read. The glossy paper is a nice touch! It should serve folks who are getting into conifers as a must-have book as well as a "checklist" type, similar to the one the "birders use".  J.T. Pennsylvania
     

  8. Robert's book is amazing- what a contribution he has made in the conifer world, particularly in terms of historical anecdotes known only to a few.  N.L., Kansas
