\"\"Blantyre Station, a retail and wholesale greenhouse nursery, has been in business for more than 30 years at the same location, but owners Brian Spotts and Hayley Leland call it a hidden gem. \u201cMany people drive right by without realizing we offer retail products spring, summer, fall and over the holiday season,\u201d says Leland. \u201cWe purchased the business in March of 2021 and have been working hard to spruce up the property, advertise to our neighbors and offer more garden selections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blantyre Station grows most of its products onsite in greenhouses. \u201cOur ultimate goal is to offer a quality, locally grown product,\u201d says Leland. \u201cSince our customers buy direct from the grower, they can save while shopping locally. We are also plant people, so we love to give advice and share our knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the holidays approaching, Christmas trees were a natural addition to the seasonal offerings at Blantyre Station. \u201cWe love the history of Fraser firs in Western North Carolina and have had the pleasure of visiting several local farms,\u201d says Spotts. \u201cThere really isn\u2019t anything prettier than our mountain-grown trees. They are prized across the USA and we are lucky enough to live right here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to cut trees, Blantyre Station offers locally made wreaths, garlands, living trees and poinsettias in different varieties, as well as stocking stuffers like local honey, jam and jellies, woven baskets and ceramic pots.<\/p>\n

Blantyre Station is located at \u200b\u200b41 Country Gardens Lane in Pisgah Forest. For more information, visit BlantyreStation.com<\/a>, email info@blantyrestation.com<\/a> or call 828.877.4456.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
