| Would you like to go to a place of peace and beauty where you could enjoy God’s creation all around you? Then you need to go to Bear W Daylily Farm in Morganton, NC, just west of the city of Morganton, NC, off of Highway 64 toward Rutherfordton. Nestled in Brendletown Community, the daylily farm offers much beauty and relaxation. Owners, Mickey and Kim Webb, have nearly two and one half acres of their land landscaped with daylilies and hostas. As you enter Bear W Daylily Lane you will notice immediately the various colors and varieties of daylilies. Garden critters, such as the Welcome Bear, dot the farm with amusement. Continuing out the drive you can view the display garden of hostas that has recently been added. Handmade benches invite you to take a seat and view the handiwork of the Lord. Ponds, placed at different areas of the farm, grace the landscape with tranquility. An old store and antique farm equipment are also positioned throughout the garden for rustic touches, which the Webbs enjoy. Farm animals also bless the farm with life and fun: peacocks, chickens, cows, cats and a dog. We have been in the daylily business since 1999, thanks to much encouragement from family and blessings from the Lord. It all began when Mickey’s great aunt gave them several varieties of daylilies. We were about to get rid of them when Kim’s aunt and uncle, who were also in the daylily business sent them home after a visit with more lilies along with the encouragement to begin selling them. At about the same time Kim was laid off from work and the next summer they were open for business. We had very few lilies at that time, probably less than fifty. We give credit to God’s blessings upon our business for the growth which has taken place since our opening. In 2005, Bear W Daylily Farm was awarded Official Display Garden status by the American Hemorcallis Society, which is a great benefit for our garden. There are over 1100 varieties of daylilies on the farm. Hosta varieties total nearly seventy. There have been people from various states to visit the farm. We have greatly enjoyed meeting so many fantastic people. Daylilies are shipped from our farm to the lower forty-eight states. Gift certificates are available, which is a great option for daylily lovers in your family.
