Beautiful Gardens
Begin at Myrtle Tree
Welcome to Myrtle Tree, a place of
peace and beauty. It’s sure to become your
garden destination in the county.
Myrtle Tree is located on the Fort Fairfield
Road on a small part of my dad’s potato
farm—now known as the P.I. Country
Club, Quoggy Joe Ski Club, a small part
of Nordic Hertitage Center and several
homes.
Myrtle Tree opened in the spring
of 1992. My growing interest in perennial
and herb gardening and floral design
background, a desire to be home with
my children in the summer, and being a
farmer’s daughter, all led to the decision to
go into business. I knew we could plant
perennials all season in northern Maine,
but there was no place to buy them at
that time past the month of June. So, my
husband, built a small building (the first
of several that now is a gift shop) to house
annuals and herbs. Outside I had a few
tables that held perennials and with 20
or so trees, Myrtle Tree was born. Classes
through the Garden Club Federation
of Maine and the University Extention
Service were invaluable and put me on the
path of knowledge and passion to grow and
sell plants and share that knowledge. That
was 22 years ago!!
