# The Art and Science of Summer Digging

###### Improving cash flow and customer experience by extending your digging season

Summer digging of field grown plants provides significant advantages for landscape contractors and wholesale distribution yards. ‘Just-in-time’ material sourcing delivers freshly dug material on the exact day needed, often right to the job site. With some experimentation you can devise a system for summer digging that succeeds. After 15+ years of working at it, we have successfully dug almost every plant in production, even during hot droughty weather.

  "description" : "Waverly Farm is a 200 acre wholesale field production nursery located in Adamstown, Maryland growing more than 400 varieties of large-sized, fully finished landscape trees and shrubs. From the beginning, we aspired to leave the farm better than we found it. That aspiration has evolved into a sustainable growing system that builds and replaces the living soil we sell with our plants. The soil we create and ship with our plants dramatically improves their ability to survive transplantation and thrive in adjacent growing zones to the northwest and northeast of our Zone 7 location. We are dedicated to delivering plant material of lasting value in an atmosphere of service, expert advice, trust, and friendship. This isn’t a job for us. It’s what we love.",
