Winding Stair Gardens

Winding Stair Gardens Winding Stair Gardens is WNC's go-to nursery, off Highlands Road in Franklin.
(2)

We grow healthy plants, share expert advice with a smile, and craft landscape consulting for local homeowners & big companies- all rooted in care for our land and community. Winding Stair Gardens is Franklin’s premier garden center, a fixture in Franklin, NC for years, growing from a small farm operation into one of Western North Carolina’s most trusted independent garden centers. Rooted in a deep

love for the Southern Appalachians, we’ve built our nursery around plants that belong here, species that support local ecosystems, attract native pollinators, and genuinely thrive in our mountain climate.

Farm fresh bouquets are in! Several to choose from, picked an hour ago. First come, first serve (until they are gone).

$15 each. Each one different from the others; all equally beautiful.

It's gray. It's cool. Honestly, it's pretty slow here today.

But like other small businesses all over America, we show up, catch up on our overdue tasks, get to deadheading, or pruning, or spreadsheets, or fixing the irrigation nozzle in greenhouse 15.

Work can be hard, maybe even boring when it's slow. But the work we do on days like today makes certain that when the clouds break and you visit us, our plants are in their top shape.

See you soon? Or even today if you like. We are here, rain or shine.

Our dear Amanda has returned from her overseas jaunt (England & Ireland, with a brief Scotland detour) and left wondering... where are all their pollinators?

So many flowers, so few bees. Read her thoughts on it below :)

Amanda came home from a trip through English and Irish gardens with one question she couldn't shake: where were all the pollinators? A look at what native plants really give us.

Our farm bouquets are something else- each one different from the others, which is what happens when the field decides what goes in the vase instead of a warehouse in another state. All of our farm bouquets are straight from Winding Stair Campground's Mountain Farm, no sprays and no shortcuts.

$15 each, and our models are not included in the price (though we appreciate the interest!)

Pre-order now and pick yours up fresh at the Garden Center on Friday. https://bit.ly/4fEnoAl
