History

Established in 1979.

Spring Bluff has been a family farm since 1844 operated by the Norris family. Spring Bluff is currently owned/​operated by Tim and Sue Norris, and their son Henry, 7^th and 8^th generations of the Norris Family.

Before becoming a nursery, Spring Bluff was the local egg supply business of Sugar Grove with around 1000 laying hens.

By the 1950’s, Tim’s father had begun planting conifers along the roadside, and atop our Christmas tree hill, for cut-​your-​own Christmas trees.

In 1979, Tim and Ken Norris started a landscape business and it has grown to it’s present size as a beautiful nursery, garden center, and farm catering to over 6000 customers in the Fox River Valley of Northern Illinois.
