The area also carries a unique botanical history. In the late nineteenth century, George Taber founded the Glen St. Mary Nursery, shipping citrus trees, dogwoods, and vibrant azaleas all across the country. That historic green backdrop still shapes the town today. For homebuyers searching for extra acreage, tall pine trees, and a slower pace of life, Glen St. Mary offers a peaceful retreat.
