Traveling through your beautiful state?

17 years ago

I'll be traveling through your beautiful state in a few days. Will be traveling up from I-85 to I-95 and into Maryland. Are there any interesting nurseries along that route? Not looking for anything specific, just like browsing and could use some green therapy! Thanks!

Sarge, how is the Big Greenhouse? Do they have many tropical plants?
Good prices? I live in Williamsburg, and there are a few good nurseries here, I am always looking for more.
