45 years ago, Margie and Judson Wingard didn’t set out to create a big business. It developed out of their love of plants and their desire to help others enjoy them just as much as they did. 

 

The seed was planted in the late 1960s, when the Wingards began propagating azaleas for their yard. Thanks to their green thumbs, they found themselves with more than they could use, so they set up a roadside stand with a hand-painted sign advertising "azaleas for sale 50 cents." (CLICK HERE)

 

Welcome To Spring!

 

If you're like us, you probably have a bad case of "cabin fever" at this point in the year.  Don't fret, Spring will be here before we know it!  If you remember last year, the weather started becoming spring-like the last weekend in February...the skies were clear blue, without a cloud in the sky, the temperature was in the mid-60's and every weekend thereafter was like that, here, in Lexington.  Shortly, the nursery will be reloaded with shrubs, trees and perennials, all ready to put on their new growth and or stick their their "noses" up for a new season of renewal...not unlike each of us.

So, check out the Classes and Events page to see what we have planned and get ready!
