The Company is a 46 year old full-service retail and wholesale nursery/garden center on approximately ~5.68 acres, serving retail individuals, landscaping & Irrigation professionals, and commercial/institutional accounts across a regional Texoma market spanning North Texas and into Southern Oklahoma. The business offers plant material, garden products, and advisory services with everything needed for landscaping needs, to a primary market within 30 minutes of Denison/Sherman Texas. Their robust inventory includes thousands of varieties of annuals, perennials, shrubs, shade and ornamental trees, succulents, seasonal displays, plus hardscape features like fountains, birdbaths, and glazed pottery. Additionally, their products include soil amendments, mulches, irrigation supplies, hardscape supplies, synthetic & organic fertilizers (including their own branded lawn fertilizer tailored to local conditions), weed and pest controls, and landscape tools and edging supplies.
During the past several years, the business has been completely modernized including a brand new website with full e-commerce ability, leading edge Point of sale, and inventory system, which are synchronized, so that retail or commercial customers looking for particular plants can find the nursery and search inventory. The inventory is also synchronized with google and ChatGPT products. Both systems use AI enhanced tools to automate managing the offerings. The modernization has capitalized on strategic strengths including robust inventory size/selection, Garden Coach guidance and design assistance. Both retail and landscapers use the garden center to design their landscape. Irrigation and watering all plants are now also automated with programmed watering and fertilizer injection. This has created a full service destination for customers who love plants and a new digital resources for a broader exposure, especially to younger “digital-native” consumers. The modernization means that the business is relatively easy to learn, and manage for a new owner.
Customers fall into two broad segments: retail gardeners (residents, hobbyists, and landscaping enthusiasts) and commercial accounts (landscape professionals, sprinkler irrigators, contractors, and developers in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma). Retail visitors benefit from a wide range of plant options—from increased indoor houseplant inventory and color rich annuals to large specimen trees—and expert support via “Garden Coaches,” who offer planting guidance to help each purchase succeed. They have very loyal customers who come back in with pictures of their plants. Commercial landscaping customers use the Company as a design and shopping experience for their end users, where plants can be picked out or bought by the homeowners, and then held for landscapers to pick up the next day. Think holistic design center! Sales mix is typically ~29% plants, ~25% shrubs, ~18% hardgoods (incl soil/fertilizers/pesticides) ~11% trees, ~8% irrigation & drainage, ~9% all others.
The business is a resource hub with community focused events and full array of educational classes (such as gardening, beekeeping, pollinator gardens, …), positioning themselves as both a supply resource and community hub for green space cultivation. A Garden Coach is ALWAYS onsite for questions and guidance.
