North Haven Gardens on the Comeback Track
NORTH HAVEN GARDENS ON THE COMEBACK TRACK
A lot of local gardeners and landscapers gasped (or moaned) after the October 20, 2019, Dallas tornado decimated North Haven Gardens, a Preston Hollow institution for almost 70 years.
“It was truly catastrophic,” says general manager Cody Hoya, “… and surreal for all of us [who work here].” He says it was particularly jaw-dropping to actually witness the damage pattern we’re all told occurs when a tornado hits. “We had a greenhouse blown over,” he says, “and next to it a table of African violets, untouched.”
But that was then. Today, recovery is well under way. In fact, on a recent visit, it was heartening to see all variety of plants laid out neatly in rows, small classes taking place, and the same friendly staff members we’ve seen over the years.
“We’re focused on perennials, roses, edibles,” Hoya says. “Rose weekend will go on [starting March 7]. Tomatoes are in full swing. That’s a huge deal for us.” In fact, everything you expect to find at North Haven will be available. “The gardening essentials are all here,” Hoya says. “We just have a smaller footprint during reconstruction.”
The exception, he notes, is concrete statuary and fountains—those are not yet fully restocked—and the café. But it will be back, “probably towards the end of rebuilding,” Hoya says.
For up-to-the-minute information on the rebuild as well as new arrivals, what’s available and hours, go to the North Haven Gardens Facebook page.
