Welcome!
We’re busy making plans for our 2026 plant sale. Look for information here in early 2026.
Our home is the beautiful and historic Village of Pinehurst, located in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Known as the home of American golf and the longleaf pine ecosystem, its temperate climate makes gardening a popular activity.
Is this a Good Guy or a Bad Guy?
If you see this guy devouring your milkweed plant DO NOT squash him. This is a monarch caterpillar and exactly why we grow milkweed. You may be lucky enough to see him transform into a monarch butterfly. Black swallowtail caterpillars are similar in appearance and you may find them on your parsley or fennel. Bite the bullet and buy parsley at the grocery store and leave these guys alone.

This is a great opportunity to visit the popular gathering spot for honey bees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects in addition to their human admirers!
The tours typically last about an hour and a half depending on group size and interest.
