History of Dana's Garden Place
Dana's has been owned by me, Dana Gilmore, since 1987. I got my love of gardening and the outdoors from my parents.
My dad gardened vegetables. My mom gardened flowers. When I was young I thought my mom was crazy. She worked at a factory all day and came home to pull weeds in the evening.
Little did I know how therapeutic and healthy gardening was to become for me too.
There is no better exercise than gardening and greenhousing.
Last season one of my customers told me I was living the dream. I never looked at it that way before, but she just might be right!
My mom and dad went on to run "Forney's Greenhouse" from 1973-1986. I started working with plants, loved it and twenty two years later I still love IT!
We have greatly expanded the selection of plants we grow.
I still carry some of my mother's favorites.
Check out "Ultra Girl", "Jim's German Johnson" tomatoes and 'Blue Victoria' salvia. These are still 3 of my favorite varieties.
I also follow her tradition of growing the best selections for our area.
Life is busy. We don't all have time for fussy plants.
If you visit us, you will see this is not a fancy place.
There are trees, flowers, dogs, birds and butterflies and bullfrogs in the pond.
Our plants are always fresh and well tended.
My staff is always available to answer your questions.
If we don't know the answer we will try to find the answers to help you with your gardening endeavors.
Dana's is pleasant and kid friendly. So Please stop by for a visit!
