 Just
Add Water is a family-owned and operated nursery, open to the public
and contractors.
After coming to Atlanta in 1989,
Jody Karlin started Just Add Water, creating and maintaining
custom designed aquariums, turtle habitats, ponds and
water art. After buying a home in
Conyers, GA in 1997 - the addicted conifer syndrome bug hit.
Five years later his passion for these trees led to him opening
Just Add Water's Rare Plant Nursery.
We specialize in dwarf and unusual conifers and
Japanese maples. Located in Conyers, GA , We are just 30
minutes from downtown Atlanta.
 Our goal is to educate and intrigue you with the
color, structure, and versatility you can have when using conifers
in your garden. Whether large specimens to adorn your home,
or a delicate addition to your container or rock garden, there is
a conifer perfect for your need.
Just Add Water carefully chooses cultivars that
tolerate the sweltering summers in Georgia, not just the cool
winters. Most of our plants have been grown for two years
here prior to becoming available to sell, so you can feel
comfortable with their acclimation.
We take pride in growing what is
soon becoming the largest
selection of conifers and Japanese maples in both the
Atlanta area and the Southeast. Currently,
we have over 1200 conifer specimens and 125 Japanese maples in our
1+ acre display garden. We test the plants in our
own garden, evaluating both heat tolerance and cold hardiness, as
most of these cultivars are new to Georgia.
Kimberly Karlin has served a two year term as Vice
President of the Southeastern Region of the American Conifer
Society, where she previously produced the regional newsletter, The Southeastern Scion.
Kimberly also writes a column called "Conifers in the News" for the Conifer
Quarterly, the
national publication of the American Conifer Society.
All of the pictures you see on the website
currently were taken by Kimberly Karlin and are from our gardens. Kimberly now works "behind the
scenes", maintaining the website, managing the office work and
finishing the cabinetry for Just Add Water's aquarium division.
She also works part time at Northeast Atlanta ENT as their Allergy
Department Coordinator.
We are active members of the American Conifer
Society ,since 2002, and have hosted local get-togethers helping
to promote the use of conifers in your garden or landscape. We
have met many people we now consider friends and recommend
