Watkins Nurseries office in Midlothian Virginia

Where It All Began

Since 1876, Watkins Nurseries has been growing more than just trees, we’ve been cultivating trust, quality, and connection.

What started as a small fruit farm in Powhatan County has flourished into a fifth-generation family nursery spanning over 500 acres in Midlothian, Virginia. Through every season and every generation, our commitment to care and craftsmanship remains the same.
