Welcome to Beaver Creek Nursery at Briar Thicket

GET READY, GET SET, GROW…

Welcoming Fall…

As we welcome fall and begin planting our display gardens, we’ve found ourselves reflecting on just how much this past season meant to us.

Our first season at our new location has been a journey filled with hard work, new beginnings, unexpected challenges, and so many beautiful moments.  To be honest, there were days we wondered what we had  gotten ourselves into-but through it all, you showed up for us.

Every visit, every plant purchased, every kind word, encouraging message, familiar faces and new faces has meant more than you realize.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for believing in us and allowing us to continue doing what we love and for helping us make the new place feel like home.

As we turn the page from our first season and welcome the beauty of fall, we’re excited about what lies ahead.  We’ll keep planting, growing, dreaming and creating beautiful spaces for you to enjoy.

Thank you for being a part of our story and we’re honored to be a part of the beauty you are creating in your own gardens and homes and we look forward to continuing to grow alongside you.

Thank you all so much for supporting local businesses.

Great Plants

At Beaver Creek Nursery at Briar Thicket, great plants are the foundation of everything we do. Our selection is carefully curated for gardeners who value quality, longevity, and uniqueness over mass-produced offerings. We specialize in rare and hard-to-find trees, shrubs, and perennials that bring structure, texture, and year-round interest to the landscape. Every plant we sell is nursery grown from seed, cuttings, or division and is trialed for hardiness to ensure it thrives in local conditions. The result is a collection of healthy, well-established plants chosen to perform beautifully and grow gracefully for years to come.
