 About Silk Tree Gardens     

 
Background:             
 

Silk Tree Gardens was founded and is owned by Elaine George, a graduate of Columbia University, School of General Studies, in New York City.  Her background in Biological Sciences and years of scientific research experience is a useful adjunct to the development and operation of Silk Tree Gardens.  Environmental interests include wildlife and wildlife habitat conservation, as well as, outdoor education.  Silk Tree Gardens has been a proud business sponsor of Glacier Institute, Kalispell, MT which promotes outdoor education in the Glacier National Park area.  The association with Glacier Institute began in 1994 with attendence at a Mountain Lion field study course, Lions of Glacier, led by Mr. Jamie Jonkel, a State of Montana wildlife biologist.  Elaine also has a Master of Arts Degree in Physical Education and Sport Science from Montclair State University, Upper Montclair, NJ and has coached youth (New York City) and high school track and field (Connecticut and New Mexico).    

 

Silk Tree Gardens is a container tree nursery located in an urban center, Bridgeport, CT which is known as "The Park City".  Professional lawn, landscaping, and fencing services are available for residential and commercial customers.  Native plant restoration is an area of specialization for Silk Tree Gardens.  This project specialization encompasses urban, rural areas, and golf course wildlife habitat preservation, and includes planting of native trees, shrubs, and flowers, as well as, restoration of forage/nesting areas and habitats.   

 

Trees and other plants are for sale to individual customers or to garden centers.  Plants can be picked-up in Bridgeport or shipped.  Free delivery of 10 or more trees is available to customers within Fairfield County, CT.   

 

 

 

Commitment to Customers:

 

Founded on the principles of tree landscaping for enjoyment and conservation, we strive to support a broad range of clients' interests and needs from horticulture to bulk provider of trees for parks and forestry.  We will gladly assist with researching any unique or unusual questions that customers may have about trees.  Additionally, Silk Tree Gardens will grow trees, shrubs, and flowers on a contractual basis for government or other agencies that are planning special plantings for future projects. 

 

    

Tree Nursery:   

 

Most of the trees grown in this home-based business in Bridgeport are from seeds.  A few types of trees and shrubs are currently being grown from bareroots and propagation of clippings.  A new lavender rose hybrid is also being cultivated at Silk Tree Gardens.  All trees and shrubs are container-grown and can readily be transplanted to the yard, garden, street or park landscape.
