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.
