One of three locations for this garden center in the Virginia Peninsula area. The one in Hampton, VA is closest to me, but I have also visited their even larger Virginia Beach location.

This is a large garden center. I especially love their selection of perennials and Japanese Maples. I believe they carry more than 50 cultivars of the maples and they have some very small sized ones that most people would find a reasonable price in addition to very large specimen trees. The Virginia Beach location carries even more.

They carry a large selection of shade plants and in the fall and winter also carry a large selection of Holiday trees and ornaments.

In early Spring, they host a garden show that is outstanding. This is the time to buy and plant blooming camelias and get ideas for landscaping or remodeling. They also have good speakers throughout the year and host local garden clubs in their meeting room.
