Founded in 1989 by Pat Wheatley in partnership with his parents Norman and Nancy. The Spring of 2015 will be their 25th. Their Spring plants can be found in several locations throughout Southern Indiana and Western Ky. They grow all plants onsite at their Lewisport greenhouses. The number of plants vary from year to year but average around 400,000 each year. Pat is a grad-uate of Murray State Uni-versity where he received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with emphasis on horticulture. The greenhouses are closed to the public Jan-Mar but

the gift shop is always open. Gift shop includes everything you need for funerals and custom made wreaths and arrange-ments. They also are a full service garden pond spe-cialist carrying plants, lin-ers, pumps, fish and filters.
