MapleWalk Garden

MapleWalk is the private garden of Lib Jones and Tom Nunnenkamp in the SouthPark area of Charlotte, NC. While the garden derives its name from the over 90 different varieties of Japanese maples, MapleWalk is also known for its collection of dogwoods, redbuds, conifers, camellias, and colorful herbaceous perennials. With 1600 feet of stone lined paths, the steps, where necessary, are accompanied by sturdy handrails. Group guided tours are available by contacting: Info@maplewalkgarden.com

Tom took Vinnie Simeone from Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, NY to visit Greg Paige at Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens in September. Vinnie and Greg had a great time talking about obscure flora from all over the world. We are so lucky to have the Bartlett facility nearby doing research that is shared with the landscape industry internationally.

Greg came to visit MapleWalk this summer and brought some plants to share. One being a Camellia sasanqua 'Old Glory' which we did not have. We are always anxious to add to our camellia collection in the garden. 'Old Glory' was loaded with buds, and was a joy when she bloomed this fall.
