The Founder’s Story
Meet Simon and Ofelia.
As an orphan child, Simon worked sugar cane fields in Mexico to afford food for himself and his younger sister. The scars of a hard life are what pushed him to leave his native country to provide a better future for his family. In 1998, after working in the nursery and tree farming business for over 20 years, Simon bought 7 acres and began creating his dream of owning a nursery and tree farm of his own. Today, the original 7 acre property is where every tree gets its start before being moved to a larger location.
Growing trees is a passion for Ofelia and Simon. Simon oversees the larger location where mature trees are grown, and Ofelia manages the nursery. She sings and waters the seedlings everyday and makes certain they are provided with the proper nourishment to grow strong and beautiful.
Simon and Ofelia’s love for growing plants will provide for consistent quality trees and plants and are always happy to advise and consult you on the trees and plants to best fit your needs.
This is their American dream – their family and farm.
