As western North Carolina's economy recovers following Hurricane Helene in September 2024, native nurseries and landscape designers in the Piedmont of NC continue to support the nurseries in the mountains.
Laurel's Garden Design
Laurel is continuing to include shrubs, trees and perennial flowers from Tanager Plants in Mars Hill and M. R. Gardens in Asheville in her sales. She's now offering porch pickups for leftovers from her September plant shows.
Pickup is at 5024 Trail Ridge Drive, Raleigh NC 27613
Go here for the list of plants.
Contact Laurel's Garden Design at laurelsgardendesign@gmail.com to place your order.
If you're placing a large order for mountain-grown plants and are four hours or less driving distance from Asheville, the nurseries can likely deliver your order. Go to the Volume Pricing page under the menu on the M. R. Gardens website to view discounts for large quantities and suggested delivery fees. You can also contact Tanager Plants directly to place your order for their plants and discuss associated delivery fees.
If you're a landscaper or other horticultural professional, please consider filling out M R Gardens' survey inquiring about your needs. Find the link on this page.
