Historical Beech Tree

The property has some history that dates back to the early 1900's when a dirt road that used to take travelers from Statesville to Salisbury ran along the back of the farm. This was the original Highway 70. Along this route, you will find the old elevated road bed that now has trees growing on it that are over 100' tall. Remnants of the old bridge that used to cross Third Creek are still visable and are now in the shadow of the new and modern Highway 70 bridge. Tucked away in the woods beside the house, you will find an enormous Beech Tree that is hundreds of years old. This is just one of the natural wonders that you will find on the farm. The Beech tree sits in a very intimate area along a spring fed stream. "Love Birds" that used to travel along the old dirt road would stop at this ancient land mark and carve their names into the smooth bark to proclaim their love for each other. The Beech Tree will hold these memories indefinately in its bark for future lovers who are able to find and view the tree. We will preserve this tree and the area around it so that visitors of our farm will be able to enjoy it for years to come. We would love to show you this and the many other natural treasures at The Arbors. Please call Brian to schedule an appointment to visit at 704-363-0440, http://www.thearborsevents.com/

Stream Restoration Project 2-1-2010

Bridge Over Troubled Water

We received 8" of snow on January 28th that was followed by 3" of rain on February 1st. Both of our ponds were out of their banks. The video footage below represents the aftermath. We decided that a stream restoration project was in order. The bridge was constructed by Brian at pergola pros (http://pergolapros.net), they did a fantastic job. Over 50 tons of boulders were brought in to line the stream bottom. There are now five waterfalls that will create the most soothing sound as you and your guests enjoy the property. From the lower lawn ceremony site, the bridge crosses over the stream into a 4 acre field of wild flowers.

Everyone Talks About The Sunsets

In the beginning............



The Nursery began in 2003 with several thousand ornamental, shade and evergreen trees planted on the property. Today you will find that these trees have matured and create the ultimate setting for your outdoor function. The property is the only working Tree Farm in the area that is available as an outdoor location for weddings and corporate events. Photographers love our farm because it is easy to find hundreds of photo opportunities in one location.


Depending on the season, there is always something of interest to be found within the trees on the property. In the spring, you will find hundreds of Cherry trees in bloom. Bluebirds are actively building their nests in the boxes scattered around the farm. In early summer, the Crape Myrtles begin to bloom and will hold their color into mid to late fall. When fall begins, the three varieties of Red Maples will explode with color until the first hard freeze. .



Winter brings a peaceful and relaxing feeling to the farm, especially when everything is covered in a blanket of snow.
No matter what season it is, you will find the nursery to be an amazing location to entertain your guests. Please call us or email us today to come out for a tour of the property.
