Our Mission

At Almost Eden, we understand that nobody can do as good of a job as God did the first time around. Thus it is our desire to harness the creative talents and available knowledge that God has provided us to give you the next best thing. Let Almost Eden create a little slice of heaven in your own back yard, front yard or wherever you need it most.

Landscaping is more than planting and mulching, it is about painting a picture with plants. It's about taking your vision, and making it a reality. It's about providing you with more usable space in your outdoor world. It's about creating spots to stop and linger, spots to be renewed, places to recharge your batteries and fill your senses.

We are excited to witness the miracle of God's creation each day, each season, each year. Working with plants and using them as tools to bring people joy is our way of making the world a better place. We enjoy taking what you have and turning it into what you want.

Our History

Almost Eden Nursery was planted as a tree farm in the early 80s by a dedicated soul, who really knew how to grow trees. The trees grew so well, in fact, that he wasn't able to relocate them all before they began to grow together. When we acquired the land in 1999, it was 11 acres of sadly overgrown trees, many of which needed to be removed, or sacrificed so that others may continue to grow. After years of playing "the lifeboat game" with these enormous trees, we are ready to replant and expand our production to include plants that are easier to handle and better suited for today's smaller residential landscapes.

Many of the original trees still grace the nursery such as our majestic stand of eastern white pine through which the driveway leading to our residence now winds or the elegant "Gray Birch Garden" one of the most popular places for a photo shoot. Currently under construction for 2004 is what we call "Large Tree Lane" — a collection of large scale estate size trees for display purposes. The beautiful old glories serve as a reminder to those who think about planting one in a space of insufficient size... Plants are like puppies—they're cute when they're little, but what do you do with them when they grow up?!?
