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 frequently 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.
Photographs

the Tyler/Kraus/Walker Family doing our impression of The Joad's on
the
Road.
Every year we all go camping in the
mountians of North Carolina for Ruth's birthday in April and
for Josh's in September. The group photo was taken early on a frosty
April
morning.
