Holly Springs Legacy Garden

Planted in 2021, the Holly Springs Legacy Garden at Jenkins features a collection of non-native evergreen azaleas with a dazzling display of flowers developed by Colonel Pete Vines.


The Holly Springs Legacy Garden features a collection of non-native evergreen azaleas developed by Colonel Pete Vines. Although he developed, grew, and sold these plants at his nursery in Virginia, he named them after the town of Holly Springs, Mississippi. Pete selected these plants for their dwarf to medium size, large blossoms, and good cold hardiness. The azaleas planted in this garden were preserved through a generous partnership with the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Azalea Society of America.
