located in Hoover on Hwy 150. We later added a Landscape Service, which now includes a maintenance and turf division,” says Andy. “We chose Vestavia and Hoover because of the people. They are friendly and genuine. There is a sense of community that wants to support local businesses. We feel fortunate to be where we are.” The holidays are a festive time for the nursery. “Right now we have a huge assortment of pumpkins and gourds, corn stalks, hay bales and fall decorations,” says Tricia. “The day after Thanksgiving, we begin selling the freshest cut Christmas trees in town, which we display in water.
