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.

From the beginning we have integrated environmental consciousness into our business and personal lives by "Going Green" in our design, use of materials and energy, composting, recycling and disposal practices, and our overall commitment to efficiency and sustainability.

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