Media Coverage of the Nursery and Other Promotions

You can find our print advertisements in The Atlanta Journal Constitution -- Friday Home and Garden Section for Gwinnett County as well as monthly in State by State's Georgia Gardening.  In addition, our nursery was profiled by the Atlanta Journal and Constitution June 11, 2004 and by the Gwinnett Daily Post July 14, 2005.

2010: Harry was asked by the Hall County Master Gardeners to assist in completing the conifer garden located at the Hall County Board of Education originally conceived by the late George Winstead.  The garden is thriving and in the fall Harry conducted a walking tour highlighting the plants. 

2007: In the spring, we made a presentation to the Gwinnett Master Gardeners Club on the subject of conifers -- one of our passions.  The discussion highlighted the variety and color that conifers can add to the garden.  Visit our Plants page to see a selection of our favorites.

2006: Two of our specimen maples (a Green Hornet and a Coonara Pygmy Japanese Maple) were featured in the landscape of the Alliance Theatre Guild's Christmas House November 11-19 and November 24 - December 3, 2006.  These specimens are situated in a dramatic natural wood and stone container conceived by Hammer and Hand Builders.

Articles Published

We have recently shared our perspective on two of our passions: conifers and Japanese maples.  You'll find both articles in State by State's Georgia Gardening magazine (www.georgiagardening.com).  "On Cones and Needles" was published in the April 2005 edition and "Japanese Maples: A Seasonal Progression" was published in the November / December 2005 edition.
