Welcome to the home website
for Rob & Sybil Mays,
formerly Paradise Nursery
Gourmet Fruit Plant Growers
For those of you who have been away from us for a while, Paradise Nursery has closed - after many seasons of propagating and selling fruit plants for our wholesale, retail and internet customers, we have retired from the nursery business and are now just growing our own gardens, orchards and chickens for fun!
Many, many thanks to all of you who were such great customers over the years. YOU are what made Paradise Nursery so rewarding and such great fun. We hope that your fruit plants and all of your gardens will flourish for years to come. If you are interested in happenings at our own gardens, we have begun the fun of sporadically recording items of interest (to us) at http://vbgarden.blogspot.com. Can't guarantee any answers to questions and such, we're just relaxing in the garden and enjoying looking around us.
Stay well, grow wonderful gardens, and continue to support local agriculture.

Virginia Beach VA | Yes! We've heard your requests and we are adding the Fig Growing Tips and the collected Fig Recipes into this site for those of you who did not have them downloaded. Although we are not in sales these days, we'll continue to offer suggestions on books, magazines and other resources that we believe will help you have the most success possible in your backyard fruit and food production. If we can, we'll provide links to sources but that certainly doesn't mean whatever we have listed is the only place you can get the information or product. The most important thing is to have fun, have confidence and know that the gardening you do will benefit you, your community and your world. |

| We are often asked how we came to develop Paradise Nursery and our congenial country life style. For those of you interested in backyard farming, starting a small nursery business, or just country living in general, I've listed some books that we have read and recommend. You can find some of these at your local bookseller or via Amazon's New & Used Books (see links below each book). |
