Who we are:
In 1995, owners Bill and Christina Schaul decided to retire early from the corporate business world and start a totally different kind of nursery. As luck would have it, the current 42 acre tract was available, but it was a classic over grown fixer-upper farm that hadn't been worked in 15 years with a 100 year old house. After 2 years of clearing, cleaning, and building, the nursery opened in the spring of 1997 with one employee, a 10,000 plant inventory of primarily, daylilies and hosta and 500 visitors. In 2007 nearly 40,000 people visited the nursery to shop the 80,000 potted perennials, 3 acres of daylilies, 3 shade houses, 2 ponds with waterfalls, 3 acres of flowering shrubs, the gift shop and the Patio Café and Wine Garden. The success of the company is built on loyal customers who appreciate the value and quality of the products and enjoy the beautiful country atmosphere
