O’Donal’s Nurseries, Inc. is a wholesale and retail dealer of plants, trees, shrubs and perennials, and offers landscaping design services. They have a garden center with sunroom. In 1960, Royce and Selma O’Donal purchased what had been known previously as the Jackson Nursery; a four-generation nursery that originated in 1850. Jeff O’Donal is the second generation owner of this thriving business. In 2018 they built a new geo-thermal greenhouse. Come learn how this family-owned business uses their own set of ‘best practices’ to grow their business, ensure sustainable profitability, produce healthy plants, and safeguard the health of their employees. Tour their new geothermal greenhouse and learn what’s new in biocontrol and plant health. Whether you are a new grower looking to get started, a more experienced grower looking to expand into new crops, or just want to see what’s new, this workshop is for you. Everyone is welcome.
