Flowering Apricot Trees

We have received shipment of a wonderful, almost unknown tree - Prunus mume, the Japanese flowering apricot.

At 20 feet, it is an ideal size for small gardens or fine accent for larger landscapes. In late spring and through summer, handsome dark, green foliage, dramatically covered, dark green stems and a pleasant rounded canopy distinguish the apricot tree. But it is during the dark days of winter that this tree displays it 's unique charm. Starting in early January depending on the site and the weather , the flowering apricot produces beautiful, delicate, fragrant flowers over many weeks just when you need them the most. The double pink blossoms have a spicy fragrance and is just a joy to visit in the garden when there is nothing else yet blooming.

Daphne for Intense Garden Fragrance

Our Daphne have arrived!

If you are looking for an incredible sensual experience in the garden, the addition of a wonderful, evergreen shrub called a Daphne is a must.

This is a nice addition to a woodland path or an informal border. The flowers are fragrant, four- petaled pink blossoms with white centers that bloom in late winter to early spring. The Daphne thrive in shady locations but do well in sunnier areas given adequate water. Superb drainage is the key!

Come and see our selection and get intoxicated with the most beautiful fragarance!

Camellias in every color!

A new shipment of camellias have just arrived in every color in many varieties. You can't beat the beauty of this southern evergreen favorite.

A wonderful choice for a shade/part sun garden and one that is easy to maintain.

Visit us to appreciate the many buds and blossoms now available.

Moving Day

What excitement! We decided to move our little shed building and open up the second half of the garden center - it is now an unbelievable view from the time you enter straight through to the arboretum entrance. We still have a bit of construction to do but we believe it is a tremendous improvement. Come see for yourselves!

We can do this by nurturing our gardening instincts with brightly colored plants .

By simply adding a plant or two nearby you can improve air quality and create positive and happy emotions.
