About Us (How it all Started)
First There Were Two...
In 1949, William M. Glose, Jr. planted two holly trees in front of their newly constructed home in Allentown, PA. As the trees matured, they flowered, but never berried. Off he went to the public library and began to research the why's and found a solution. Then there were three American Holly trees landscaped into their property. The addition was a male...then the berries and the cardinals came. That's how it all began.
It All Started With An Idea...
My grandfather's love for American Holly quickly grew and he began planting until hundreds of young holly trees that dotted the property. He would give talks and tours, sell the cut holly at Christmas, and sell seedlings in the spring and fall. Today, we still have American Holly on the property, but have expanded the business to follow the same basic concepts of offering quality plants at a great price. As an aggregator, we now work with over two dozen grower nurseries to supply us with the best quality plants for our clients. Visit our store to see more!
Thousands of Plants Now Available!
We've been delivering quality liners and field grown plants since the early sixties. Today, we work with many growers that propagate award-winning liners. These are available to our wholesale and retail customers.
Our clients have asked many times...can we order full flats of plants. Because of our relationships with our growers, we are able to provide top quality plants direct from our growers to our end user clients which include large and small garden centers, landscapers, weekend growers, hobbyists, and home owners adding beautiful plants to their property!
