In 1964 we purchased 14 acres of land, which was originally part of Civil War Governor John Andrews farm.  Along with it came Dole Meadow, which consisted of 20 acres of wetlands.

In 1974 we planted our first Christmas trees and that crop was cut in 1982.  Evie King worked with us until 1994. As we gradually expanded the nursery we began propagating many of our own plants, aided by the experience and knowledge of Roger Coggeshall.

King's Tree Farm & Nursery was honored to have the International Lilac Society visit on the afternoon of Friday, May 13, 2005. We were pleased to host them during the ILS annual convention.
