Where can you find “The County’s Garden Destination” and a great selection of unique treasures? Myrtle Tree Farm/Ravenswood, located at 368 Fort Fairfield Road in Presque Isle.
Myrtle Tree, owned by Donna and C.K. Keegan, has 21 years in the nursery and garden business.
“We knew you could plant perennials all season, some even better planted in the fall. So we set out to make available plants and information to help gardeners enjoy adding to their gardens all season,” said Donna Keegan.
At Myrtle Tree, you can find quality plants for your garden and landscape, with a great selection of perennials, herbs, specialty annuals, small fruits, vines, roses, lilacs, shrubbery, fruit trees, crab apples and specimen trees, and a large selection of field-dug perennials.
“We also offer moss baskets and wall hangings in English tradition,” noted Keegan.
“We offer knowledgeable service, with display gardens designed to inspire,” said Keegan, noting tips and ideas are just part of doing good business.
The nursery is open May 1 through mid-October. Business hours are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Teas, workshops and garden tours available. FMI, call 764-4980 or visit www.myrtletreefarm.com.
