Welcome to Elk Creek Farm-Japanese Maples

During the COVID 19 pandemic my husband Tom and I decided we needed a project that would be a healthy outlet for the stress so many of us went through at that time.  Having been lifelong gardeners we knew working with our hands. being outside in the fresh air was a way to feel more connected, less isolated, and to accomplish something that was productive. If I am being honest, I decided that, and Tom, being the supportive husband he is, was all in.   We drove down to Mississippi where we bought our first stock of small grafted Japanese Maples. Over the next three years through much hard work, we learned how to graft, care for, and propagate these trees we had come to love. Each year we have added new varieties to our farm. Our vision is to offer healthy field grown trees in varieties that are hard to find in the 'big box' stores that can further add to the beauty of Southwest VA, and Eastern TN. We offer many varieties of field grown trees that have been raised locally at our farm in Marion, VA. A beautiful tree is a gift that keeps on giving.
