ABOUT US
45 years of experience...
Ann Peuser
- 1981 – Clinton Parkway Nursery was created as a landscaping service by previous owners, Hank and Bev North. Within two years the retail Garden Store was added, and they slowly began selling plants and products to the home gardener.
- 1986 – Ann Peuser purchased the business and remains the current owner.
- 1990’s – The greenhouse was added providing shelter for Tropical species, vegetable plants, and more delicate varieties of annuals.
- 2016 – We committed to providing a larger inventory of house plants for our customers who prefer to do their gardening indoors.
- 2018 – Local vendors began selling their produce and products at our own Farmer’s Market.
- 2021 – When local customers needed a resource for their water garden supplies, we chose to evolve – once again – adding a new “department” in the Garden Store.
- 2023- We keep growing!
Thank you to each and every one of our customers for your continued business, support, and friendship!
Our AWESOME staff!
