Twenty-two years of benches turning over
The nursery started on two acres behind a farmhouse, selling bedding flats out of a pickup bed at the edge of the road. The greenhouses came a few years later, built one at a time as the spring rush outgrew the last one.
We still grow a good share of what we sell rather than trucking everything in, which is why some benches sit empty for a week between one crop finishing and the next one hardening off. An empty bench means something is coming, not that we ran out.
Nine people work here across the year, more than triple that during the spring rush. Two of the original crew still work the potting bench.
