History
Established in 1950.
The Cowan family started a cedar yard and saw mill on the property with a small store front selling hardware, feed, and ranch supplies.
The Spornhauer family bought the store in the late sixties, who hired Chris Nichols in 1973. He stayed and worked with the new owner, Ross King who bought the store later that year.
Chris Nichols bought the business from Ross in 1984, and shortly met Tim Thompson at the Johnson soccer fields, where their small children played soccer. Chris hired Tim, who already had over 20 years of experience in horticulture, to help begin a nursery and gradually build it into the showplace garden center that it is today.
In 2004 the store added 10,000 square feet of retail space, providing space for a full line of pet food and supplies, a modern feed warehouse, and expanded departments as well as new lines of clothing, paint, toys, hats, sandals, and boots. The latest phase of remodeling includes a fenced extension of the garden center and a new entrance.
