Unique Prop Options

Shelter from the Elements


One major advantage of Fairview Garden Center is the availability of covered or indoor greenhouse spaces. This means your session can go on regardless of the weather! Rain or shine, you’ll still have beautiful lighting filtered through greenhouse panels, offering soft, natural illumination that flatters any client. It also works well in the winter when North Carolina is colder. The greenhouse is a bit warmer and still exploding with plant life!
