Growing in faith, rooted in love
Since starting as a dream in 1987, with a logo drawn on a piece of notebook paper, our family-owned farm has come to life over the years. Offering a variety of plants, trees, shrubs, and more, we have everything you need to create a flourishing outdoor space.
About us
In 1983 I, Joey Burns, found myself at Alabama Christian College working on a degree in Biology, and feeling I needed more spending money. So, I did what all 20 year old kids do, and called my parents. My father (Johnnie) replied in all his wisdom “Get a Job.” This is where our story begins...
In 1987 my grandfather, James Shoffitt, made my dream a reality when he sold us his farm. My wife, Rosalynne, and I moved back to my hometown of Grovetown in 1987 and planted the first plant bed in 1988.
I worked at Fort Gordon and Rosalynne taught school from 1988 until 1998, during this time Johnnie and Barbara (my parents) and James and Dot (my grandparents) took care of the farm (with a lot of help from our church family!).
I passed on my love for farming to my son, Joe, who graduated from UGA in 2012 with a degree in horticulture. He is now the President of our plant farm. Joseph, and his wife Samantha, can often be found chasing their daughter, Carolina Rose, around the nursery. My wife passed on her love for education to our daughter, Savannah, who is a professor at Faulkner University. Savannah, her husband John Logan, and daughter Emma Jo all live in Alabama.
Fast forward 30 years...
Today, you will find that while many of the people who made this nursery come to life, have passed on, their hardwork and belief in me are rooted into every inch of this farm. We are proud to be a family farm, and to serve our community.
