Wildwood is the creation of plant & garden enthusiast Wayne & Sue Tapping. They began this garden more than 30 years ago & also opened a retail nursery at nearby North Richmond. The Nursery closed in 2010, allowing the couple to pursue their dream ...
Wildwood Spring Season begins in August with a mass explosion of colour from the Camellias that will be in flower when we open & continue until the long weekend in October throughout this time the many Magnolias featured in the garden along with the bulbs will put on a show. Don't forget to rug up in August as it can still be cool in the mountains at that time.
During mid September we will see the flowering of the Cherries, Plums, Apricots, Magnolias, Azaleas, Camellias, Tulips, Pieris along with some of the perennials at that time,
Over the long weekend Clivia, Dogwood, Wisteria, Magnolia, Rhododendron & the explosion of new growth from all the deciduous trees coming back into leaf.
Late October we will have such beauties as deciduous Azaleas, Kalmia, Clematis, Roses with the Salvia & many of the perennials beginning to flower.
