2008 is Suncrest Gardens 62nd year of continuous business at its Mt. Holly Springs location 5 miles south of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Through the years we have done most every aspect of horticulture. The requirements of running a small business at times dictate change. It was several years ago when I was faced with that dilemma and the decision of how to proceed. I chose to no longer do landscaping or compete in the standard garden center business, but to focus on collecting, propagating, and growing dwarf and unusual conifers and Japanese maples. The transition is still in progress but I think for the collector, the homeowner searching for something different, and the landscaper or nursery wishing to spice up their menu there will be plants at Suncrest Gardens of interest.

      As of now the mail order business is not our niche but that may well change as we focus on raising younger material. The maintenance crew at Suncrest is comprised of my wife Barbara and myself. We do our best to maintain the display beds, the sales area and the grass. It is a challenge as the plants and we become increasingly mature. I invite you to visit Suncrest Gardens and enjoy our efforts. Please call to arrange a time to see the nursery. It rejuvenates the spirit to meet others who share an appreciation of the diversity of nature.
