Our History

We started out selling fresh vegetables to the Kalamazoo area in 1946…

then later expanded to add evergreens and other nursery plants. After 75 years, our vegetable stand has grown to be the largest one-stop outdoor living area around. Some of our specialties include a full-service florist, Wedel-grown nursery plants, landscape services,  over 600 varieties of Wedel-grown perennial plants, and the experts to help you have gardening success!
