about us.
The farm that they call Scott's Orchard & Nursery was once part of the J. Peter Pilgard farm. In the 1940's the land was purchased by William and Ann Villa and operated as an orchard with a roadside market until their retirement in 1972. At that time it was sold to its current owners Woody and JoAnn Scott. They continued growing apples, peaches, pears and plums and added several acres of vegetables and flowers.
In 1997 they added more greenhouses and started a retail garden center. We started with just a few annuals, perennials, and mulch. We have become a well-rounded garden center with plant material from all over the United States. We grow our own hanging baskets, and container gardens and they are gorgeous. We carry a large supply of specimen trees as well as common, native stock grown right here in Connecticut. Our knowledgeable staff can design and install any size landscape our customer's desire.
We have rapidly become known for our extensive perennial selection! Our selection of annuals grows each year as well and we now feature specialty annuals which are grown for their productivity and hardiness. Our family and staff have extensive backgrounds in horticulture and farming. We have on staff both Certified Master Gardeners and Connecticut Accredited Nursery Professionals to serve our customers.
May God Bless You!
