I have visited Towaliga Native Plants several times this year already and have found each trip to be exciting. (Its like a kid in a candy store).
Both John and Lamyrl will spend all the time in the world with you answering questions and helping you locate just the right plant. My first trip I think John spent 2-3 hours with me. He is extremely knowledgeable.
It is my primary source for plants that you can not find at other locations in the area. i.e. Banana Shrubs, Dove Tree, and many varieties of Native Azaleas.
Excellent people, excellent site, and good prices!

A few of us visited on Friday and it was even better than expected. You can spend a lot of time there just looking. It is like a nature trail. I came with a list of wants. Brought home 3 types of native azalea, 3 types of banana shrub, and lots of other things. The selection of natives is wonderful. They also have photos of their plants so you can see what they look like in bloom. The owners were so friendly and helpful. I have never been to a better nursery!

Stunning nursery, set up as a garden. I thoroughly enjoyed not only walking around their beautiful setup, but picked some lovely, very healthy plants to bring home as well. We have already planned a trip back.

This nursery specializes in native plants and other varieties of plants, shrubs and trees that do well in the South. The owners John and Lamyrl Atkinson often give informative lectures on some very under-used plants, and have a lot of 'hard to find' selections. They recently visited the Griffin Research and Education Garden to lecture, where I first learned of them through fellow DGer, MSampler.
After searching high and low for a certain Banana Shrub (Michelia skinneriana) I was delighted to find a wonderful specimen there, and will be going back as soon as possible. Their plants are large and healthy so they do prefer you to come to the nursery to pick them up (it's well worth the visit to see the display gardens). It's wonderful to have such a place in Middle Georgia.
