About Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery
Our Founder and Owner
Adam Kerr, founder and president of Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery, is a Virginia-certified horticulturist. He is a member of the Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association, and is both a certified arborist and a member of the International Arborists Society. He formed Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery in 2003 and officially launched the company as a full-time business in 2007.
Adam absolutely believes, “Life is better lived outdoors.”
Education
Adam pursued his life-long interest in landscape design and horticulture at both Northern Virginia Community College and Catawba College in Salisbury, NC, earning his bachelor’s degree from Catawba in 2002. Adam’s formal horticultural training is ongoing. In 2012, he passed the International Arborists Society’s certification exam.
Nursery
Concurrently, Adam acquired planting rights to 10 acres of land in Rappahannock County—and created the “nursery” element of Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery. On this site, he meticulously cultivates top-quality shrubs and trees—which are available for customer viewing and purchase, by appointment.
Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery Evolves
Though not evident at the beginning—it is very clear looking back—that throughout this period of continuous education, apprenticeship, and hands-on experience, Adam had laid the groundwork for, and then created, what is now Rappahannock Landscape & Nursery.
