Our Mission:

The Wilson County Display Garden was developed to educate home gardeners on plant habits and to introduce new plants to the landscape. This garden is also used for teaching landscape/nursery professional for the Certified Plant Professional exam. The garden was started in 1997 and had continued to grow and become a resource for visitors. The garden is ever growing and changing so visit often. Visit the Wilson County Diplay Garden, 1806 S. Goldsboro Street, daily from dawn until dusk, to see plants that grow well in Wilson county.
