We are dedicated to quality plant production while maintaining a diverse selection of plants and providing knowledgeable customer service. Owned and operated by Ken Stillwell and Andrea Pike, the nursery boasts three greenhouses and eleven cold frames. In early spring, the greenhouses are loaded with vegetable and herb plants, hanging baskets and a broad selection of seasonal annuals. Annuals range from the good old standbys to the newest introductions. In the fall the nursery is beaming with colorful chrysanthemums, pansies, pumpkins, and gourds.
Carolina Seasons Nursery has everything for the new homeowner to the seasoned gardener. Over 50 types of perennials are grown each year, including a broad selection of groundcovers, hosta, daylilies and ornamental grasses. Container grown trees and shrubs make up the majority of the nursery's production. Some of the most popular trees and shrubs grown at the nursery are Boxwood, Holly, Ligustrum, Indian Hawthorn, Gardenia, Crape Myrtle, River Birch and Red Maple.
The nursery began over 30 years ago, in 1980. Ken Stillwell started rooting and growing azaleas in his backyard greenhouse. He sold them on spring weekends at the Pitt County Fairgrounds Flee Market. Eventually Ken began growing different types of trees and shrubs and the nursery began to grow. In 2004, Andrea Pike joined Carolina Seasons Nursery bringing along her passion for flowers and gardening.
With hard work, perseverance, and a growing customer base, Ken and Andrea expanded the nursery, built an irrigation pond, added greenhouses, cold frames, and a five acre growing field for trees and shrubs. Today Carolina Seasons Nursery is a premier destination for plant and flower lovers throughout Eastern NC. Whether you are shopping for foundation shrubs, shade trees, flowers for full sun or hanging baskets for your porch, Carolina Seasons Nursery has what you need.
