Utilizing eight acres of greenhouses and five acres of outdoor growing space, they supply top-quality plants to garden centers, farm stores and hardware stores in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas. All plants are grown locally, nurtured by resident horticulturists and accustomed to midwestern weather. By limiting the states they ship to, they’re able to deliver delicate spring and fall crops at the peak of health, freshness and consumer demand.
