“To Our Valued Customers & Friends
We gave our best effort to keep White’s Nursery & Garden Center going. It is with heavy hearts that we announce we will not be reopening.
Thank you for 68 years of support.”
White’s Old Mill Garden Center
A sad day for the Tidewater Big Train Operators club and for the community at large. Our organization has been doing model train shows and displays at White’s Nursery since at least 2010 and the Engineer and I have been participating since 2015. Every spring and fall we were there on Friday setting up, running trains over the weekend and taking down Sunday afternoon. The sense of camaraderie and the joy of sharing our enthusiasm with visitors of all ages made these events deeply fulfilling for us. Our hope is that we can find a new venue or opportunity to continue bringing the joy of model trains to the community, keeping the spirit of our cherished tradition alive and thriving.
