Our Family
A family can mean so many things, to us it means a trustful place to fall. A lot has shaped our family into what it is today from heartache to joyous occasions. We are thankful for each of God's seasons, because looking back they have grown us into the unit and individuals we are. We consider it a great honor that you have chosen our FAMILY nursery to be your nursery HOME! We can't wait to see you soon.
Grandma Birdie - Roberta (the boss lady)
The hugger, the greeter, the "let’s come on in" lady. Once you meet her, you’ll feel like you’ve been part of her family your entire life. A lifetime resident of Wilson, Roberta enjoyed 50 years married to her high school sweetheart, and love of her life Chicken Lynch.
Since retiring, Grandma has taken over all the day to day duties. She manages schedules, invoices, orders and personalities. The business is still housed where it all began in her backyard.
Grandma's favorite part of the business: "The HUGS! After losing Chicken, life can get lonely, but there is nothing that fills my heart like the hugs of our customers, who to us are family."
Grandma's favorite plant: "Knock out roses! They are the perfect flower bed filler for the busy person!"
Robert & Kim (the parents, #dreamteam)
Robert and Kim are both Medical Professionals with a deep passion for helping others. Robert works as a Emergency Room Physician Assistant for the Chickasaw Nation in Ada and Kim, trained as an RNBSN, formally served as the Director of Nursing for Mercy in Ardmore.
Although Robert grew up with his father always raising a garden, it wasn't until he married Kim that he appreciated the art of good flower beds. These two started designing beds together early in their relationship and much like their love for each other, their flower beds have grown and bloomed over the years into masterpieces. They believe strongly in the statement, “if the plants aren't to the quality we would plant in our backyard then they don't belong in the aisles of the Garden Center."
Both Robert and Kim are active in the day to day operations of the Garden Center and nursery. If you catch them at the Garden Center, then your guaranteed to leave with a new design for your flower beds and the perfect color combination!
Favorite part of the business: "Helping new gardeners design and plan out their flower beds. They are so excited, while also being scared to death. It is so cool to watch as they develop with confidence over the spring season and year to year!"
Favorite plant: "DV Custom Combos! They are one of a kind, spectacular creations. Red Pentas are a close second."
Jake
The business had already taken root before Jake entered the world, yet from the moment he took his first steps, he became an indispensable asset, consistently lending a hand wherever it was required. Jake's unparalleled agility and youthful vigor played a pivotal role in successfully revitalizing every greenhouse operation.
Jake is currently pursuing a degree at the University of Oklahoma, but he still pitches in whenever he can!
His favorite part of the business is, "Payday!"
Cameron & Des
The business has been a part of Des’ life longer than it hasn’t. From starting a little vegetable stand in 6th grade to now sharing the aisles with her husband.
Many joked that if Des ever got married he would have to love plants - well were not sure how much he loves plants, but he’s sure good at moving them and selling them. However, we are sure how much he loves Des.
Cam and Des live in Nashville, TN were Cameron works as a Director for PwC in the Deals and Acquisition practice and Des works as Chief of Staff for Kimbro Companies and recently took on the Executive Director role for the Southeast Hydrogen Energy Alliance.
Favorite part of the business: "Doing it together & the pure joy we get to see on faces of customers as they find quality plants they love & will serve them happiness all season"
Favorite plant: "Dipladenia Combos - When we were living in Houston we would drive these back and they survived the 110+ summers - they literally bloom all summer long!”
