About
Pine
Knot Farms
Pine Knot has
been helping customers find plants for their shady
gardens since 1983 and we have been working on a hellebore breeding
program since the early 1990's. We go to the UK each year to
select stock from the best specialist nurseries. We have also traveled
to Europe and the Balkans for stock and trade with growers from Japan,
Australia and New Zealand as well as with the best breeders in the US.
We feel this partnership has allowed us to not only make some good
friends, but also to gather some of the best stock plants in the world.
We are a
family
owned nursery
nestled in the forest on a former tobacco farm that has been in
Judith's
family
for six generations, with Josh and Ruth our grandchildren, pictured
below checking out the bark pile,
making the seventh. We have a large garden that
we all enjoy, both as a testing
area
for plants we sell at the nursery, but also for the simple pleasure of
watching
things
grow. We share our home and our lives with our much loved cats and
dogs. We are very fortunate to have our family
nearby. Our daughter Helen and her husband Greg (parents of Joshua
Tyler Kraus
and
Ruth Tyler Kraus) and our son Richard and his husband Jamie come to the
farm for holidays and to
help us on our special Hellebore Days.
