We had a delightful morning this week, welcoming the staff of Montrose Gardens to JLBG. Plantswoman Nancy Goodwin, Magnolia breeder and plantsman, Tom Krenitsky, and Nancy’s staff all joined us, as we spent the morning walking through the garden collections. Although the Montrose mailorder nursery (1984 -1993) has been closed for a while, the amazing Montrose Gardens remains open for tours. A foundation, set up by Nancy and her late husband, Craufurd, ensures that their historic 61-acre property, purchased in 1977, will remain a public garden into the future.
Loved visiting there. Glad youa re still enjoying it.
Thank u for publishing info re plants etc from your wonderful garden!
Still have a Vitex I bought from Montrose in, I believe, 1989 after hearing Nancy speak at a symposium held at Calllaway Gardens that same year. My first mail order purchase!
