Jim and Robin started their business over 25 years ago, with one greenhouse. Robin had worked in a greenhouse as a teenager and grew up on a farm, so she had always done gardening. Robin received her BS degree from UMF in 1980. She was employed by UMF for 20 years as a Groundskeeper and grew flowers for the campus. She has taken gardening courses over the years along with floral design and cut flower farming classes. Much of her knowledge is from experience and mentors.
