About Us
Brief History:
Butch and his brother John started early in their teens mowing lawns and doing yard work, building their skills and passion for the outdoor living industry. They started doing business on a 2-acre lot with a set-up similar to a road stand.
In the early 1980's they built their first garden and nursery building, and joined True Value in the early 1990's. Their business grew and they built a new building in 1995, bringing expanded garden and nursery excellence and service to the Farmingdale community.
