We are “Boomers”, part of the WWII baby boom generation. After successful careers in government and education, we are fulfilling our dream of owning and operating a high-quality wholesale container plant nursery to serve the garden center, retail nursery and landscaping industry in Southside Virginia and, if we are fortunate, to extend that service beyond the immediate area of South Hill, VA.
Judy has four years of summer-time experience with Bert Shoosmith at Hillside Gardens in Chester and holds a certificate in Landscape Design from Geroge Washington University. She is a Virgninia Certified Horticulturist. In addition to a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Radford University, she holds a Master of Business Administration from Boston University and a Master of Arts in English from Virginia State University. She still teaches English at John Tyler Community College.
Harry has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Virginia Tech and a Master of Education from Boston University. Following an Army career of 23 years and 13 years of analytical support for Army logistics processes, he has transformed into a nurseryman.
We have raised two great kids, seen a lot of the world, and are now returning to our "roots", or more precisely Harry's roots in Mecklenburg County, Va. where his family has lived since before the American Revolution.
We are proud of our nursery and welcome visitors. If you want to see it, please give us a call in advance so we can be ready. There are times when we have to close the gate in order to make deliveries or for other reasons. The number is 434-447-4355.
