Comments regarding Overhill Gardens

I really like Overhill Gardens. They have the best selection in the area... some really interesting plants, especially woodland shade lovers. I've bought some interesting nice ferns, azaleas, and woodland flowers... the fringe tree and service berry I bought are doing well.

I feel like every time I visit it is a learning experience... their selection is so vast that I inevitably discover something I had never even known about.

Avi is very helpful and knowledgeable. The location is really interesting, and remote, as well... I always enjoy going out to overhill gardens and hiking in Citico or Joyce Kilmer wilderness after... Sometimes seeing the same interesting, unusual plants. It is worth a special trip because it is a special area.

This part of the southeast is extremely biodiverse and I think Overhill does the best job of anyone I know to represent the full spectrum of that diversity. The plants I've bought there have all done very well since planting, even finicky ones... the only plants that have not thrived have been the ones my dog dug up!

My spouse and I drove out to Overhill on a weekend and unfortunately did not catch the owner, Avi, there. He's the only individual that is able to discuss plants and really help. So if you go HE MUST BE THERE otherwise you've wasted your trip unless you know exactly what you want to buy.

I did run into Avi at the native plant sale held this spring at IJAMS and he really had some interesting plants that cannot be found at other nurseries. He even brought me some "special order" plants that I had requested - which I am quite grateful for (i.e. native purple coneflowers).

All the plants purchased from Overhill are alive, well, and thriving!

Drove out in person and bought 3 Clethra Ruby Spice last winter. Large plants, good prices. The owner was very helpful. The bushes have all done well this year - I would definitely buy from them again.
