Can you believe it ? Fall is right around the corner and the weather this weekend is going be a taste of what’s to come. A great time to hop in the car and come on out to Kingsdene. Lots of seasonal decor to choose from in the gift shop, select perennials are on sale, huge tri-color mums, pansies and violas, ornamental peppers and more. Stroll through the nursery and pick out a new tree or shrub for your landscape. We are located at 16435 York Road in Monkton, open everyday from 9 to 5.

This charming gem of a nursery is in all ways the opposite of a big box shop. For starters, they grow much of their own stock. Small in size, Kingsdene is prized by serious plantspeople, particularly for its selection of trees and shrubs. A small business that distinguishes itself through exceptional customer service, it’s not uncommon for staffers to forage in a dense sea of plants to find the best-looking specimen for their customers. They also stand behind their plants, offering a one-year warranty on many trees and shrubs.

Ho Hum, the Summer is drawing to a close and Fall is a great time to refresh your perennial garden. Some of our select perennials are just a little tired and in need of a new home where they will have space and adequate rest and relaxation to root in.
