Sam and Cathy always had a love of plants, going back to their childhood days of helping their respective parents with gardening and other relatives with farming duties. Each worked independently in the landscaping/retail nursery business for over 10 years before launching their own career as wholesale nursery growers/proprietors. As a small business, they found their niche (and passion) in growing herbs, vegetables, natives and perennials suited for the Central Texas climate. Today the demand for their organically grown edible plants accounts for 75% of their total business. Even though it can be hard, physical work and mentally demanding, Sam and Cathy absolutely love what they do and are committed to growing the best quality plants possible.
Sam and Cathy have recently made the decision to retire. "We're not getting any younger and this is such demanding, physical work, 24/7. Even though we love what we do, we have reached that point in our lives where we're ready to scale back a bit and enjoy some other pursuits. Business is so good that it really needs to expand and meet the increased demand. Until we find the right, like-minded buyer to take over the business and continue on with our goals, we'll keep on with what we know and love."
