White’s Old Mill Garden Center – was built in 1985. The Garden Center is a major retail garden center serving the tidewater area; Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake and Portsmouth areas.
The Garden Center is divided into three departments, greenhouse, hardgoods & gifts, and nursery. The Garden Center has a greenhouse that covers ¼ of an acre. A majority of the products sold in the greenhouse are grown by White’s Nursery. The greenhouse keeps a diverse product line, including indoor houseplants, tropicals, and flowering and seasonal potted plants. Poinsettias and bedding plants are among our most popular items.Our Hardgoods and Gift Department specializes in the sale of garden chemicals, seeds, bulbs, tools, and hard to find or unusual gift items. We also have a haunted house and hayrides in the fall, and many Christmas decorations during the holidays. Each season a specific theme is highlighted throughout the Garden Center in all the departments with appropriate, exciting displays. Finally, our Nursery Department specializes in woody ornamentals and perennials. One quarter of an acre is allocated for their display. The Nursery Department stocks a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials.
