Dutchland.jpg (167816 bytes)
The windmill that is currently located on the nursery grounds, our trademark, was originally part of the Dutchland Farms building in Bishop's Corner, a popular hangout for hot dogs and ice cream.  It was moved to the nursery in 1952, when Dutchland Farms was demolished to make room for a Lord and Taylor store.  The photo on the left was taken ca. 1940's at Bishop's Corner, and the one on the right is its appearance today at the nursery.
