A Heartfelt Farewell from Mark Collins, owner of Evergreen Nursery As many of you may already know, the assets and inventory at four Evergreen locations have been sold to Moon Valley Nursery and the former Evergreen locations have also been leased to Moon Valley Nursery. So, for me, writing preparing this notification is a bittersweet task. After almost 50 years of growing almost every kind of plant and helping thousands of people landscape their homes and businesses, we decided, with a heavy heart it was time for me to move on. My son and daughter, Steven and Stephanie Collins have been hired by Moon Valley Nursery. First and foremost, we want to thank all of our customers for giving us a chance to build a thriving plant business over so many years. Over the last several years many organizations have been interested in purchasing “Evergreen”. With an ever-increasing mountain of bureaucratic barriers and requirements of doing business in this city and this state, it became obvious that running an agricultural “family business” was going to continue to be more and more difficult. When Moon Valley Nursery offered to purchase our plants and equipment, it felt like a good fit. With dozens of nurseries spread out over four states, Moon Valley knows the plant business and has an organization that can provide for the needs of our former employees they hire as well as our past customers and future customers of Moon Valley Nursery. Their commitment to growing quality plants and providing for their employees is most impressive and has doubtless been the driving force behind their success. As for me, everyone who knows me, knows I like to sail and fish as well as work on the citrus and avocado trees at our home farm and that is just what I intend to do along with spending time with my wife, who has put up with me working all the time for way too many years.
