North Augusta / South Carolina / United States
A Little bit ... We opened as a retail garden center in North Augusta, SC in 1973, where we began to offer the old and the new in plant material for the Deep South. We are a family owned and operated business, and this is where our family has lived for over 250 years. Since our opening, we have made a concerted effort to search out the new, the rare and the unusual to make available to our customers. By the early 1980s we realized that many new botanical jewels that gardeners wanted for their collections were not available on the wholesale market. We then began to grow these for our local constituents, and by the late 80s, we began to supply landscapers in the Augusta area. It wasnt until the early 90s that we began to put together a wholesale catalog and make a determined effort to begin a wholesale division. Since then we have established a link to many valued clients. Our website went online in 2000, and since then we have had great response for both our retail and wholesale divisions. Our next big step will be the beginning of our mail-order service. With our introductions of many new selections from Europe, Australia and Japan, this will be the best way to get them to the gardening public.
