About Us
Our Roots
We've been working our land for over 20 years, maintaining what NATURE has provided us--over 7 acres of native plants, eye-catching ledge outcroppings, and a waterfall-adorned stream meandering through our woodlands, each offering their own quiet, beautiful spaces. Interconnected with these are garden beds filled with blooms and a Pick-Your-Own flower field that we NURTURE. In addition, we have created natural plays spaces for children in the landscape.
Petals in the Pines first opened to the public in 2010, and we haven't stopped growing! What you'll find here is a unique blend of the native landscape with cultivated gardens--a place you'll want to immerse yourself in. The result is an experience that many call "magical!"
Our Mission
At Petals in the Pines, our MISSION is two-fold: first, to enable children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teens, to experience NATURE in a safe and NURTURING environment; second, to encourage and educate adults in their personal exploration of the natural world that surrounds them.
For our younger visitors, we have opened natural "activity centers" to help them build, create, move, sing, play make-believe, experiment, learn and enjoy. By connecting children with nature, this type of unstructured play and activity helps increase concentration, develop creativity and problem-solving, and relieve stress.
For grown-ups, we tap into our decades of knowledge and experience to offer accessible opportunities for individuals and groups to appreciate and learn about our extensive collections of native and cultivated plants.

We had our daughter’s 6th birthday here recently and it was magical. The owners are kind, amazing with children, and so pleasant to work with. They really made the day special for my daughter and her friends. Their property is lovely and full of unique activities and treasures that the kids love. We will definitely go back again!

We recently held a small wedding at Petals in the Pines. After my first visit there for the Monarch Fest, I just knew I wanted to be surrounded by the gardens when my fiancé and I decided to get married. Donna was very supportive and attentive to details. She also made my large bouquet from flowers that are grown there. And the pictures are beautiful!
