SPRING 2013 NURSERY CATALOG PIPING TREE GARDENS & NURSERY PIPING TREE GARDENS & NURSERY 13171 Scotchtown Road, Beaverdam, Virginia 23015 U.S.A. NURSERY CATALOG, SPRING 2013 Piping Tree Gardens & Nursery has been growing plants since 1979 when Magnolias were first brought from the Low Country of South Carolina and planted with the American hollies and large pine trees. The large Rhododendrons planted near the driveway originated from our old mountain farm in West Virginia and provide an additional attraction to visitors in summer. Guided tours of the extensive garden and woodland trails are available from early March to late November on Saturdays by appointment. Tours of the mountain woodland in West Virginia are also offered on Sundays in May when the native azaleas are in full bloom. The plants offered in this retail catalog are mostly native to central Virginia or southern West Virginia. A few exotic plants are offered to create additional interest for those who want a greater selection. All plants are either seed grown or grown from cuttings and planted in aged pine bark mulch. Planting a well designed landscape bed with attractive and unusual plants increases the value of your home and creates a healthy environment for people and wildlife. Not only will the plants be enjoyed for many years providing year-round interest with colors and form, but a link is created with nature. An extensive garden planted with many species of plants can also be an educational experience for adults and children of all ages to enjoy. Wishing you a healthy and very good gardening year.
