HARD TO FIND SUB-TROPICAL PLANTS AND FLOWERS

 

 

Welcome to "Little Noonday Valley" come on in and let us show you around.

Over the years we have collected many Cold Hardy sub-tropical plants that grow well and survive our sometimes very, cold winter days yet they provide a tropical look for Atlanta landscapes.

Our unique sub-tropical perennial plants and flowers produce a tropical garden like appearance from spring to frost each year.

HISTORY

On a cool autumn day some 200 years ago a squirrel buried a tiny acorn on this spot. It sprouted the next spring and I started to grow. Year after year as I continued to grow, Indian children laughed and played in the creek running through the valley below. Today we call it Little Noonday Valley. That took place a long time ago when this land was part of the Cherokee Indian nations home-land.

Things have changed drastically around here over the years.  Now Little Noonday Valley has become a beautiful flower garden with a banana grove and citrus trees.

I want to thank that squirrel for not eating the acorn!

Thank You for your interest
