Our history Before Signal Mountain Nursery, there was Parry Nurseries, founded in 1947 by Ben Addie and Arthur "Scotty" Parry. In the 1940's, Ben worked as a secretary for McDade Orchids. Following the end of WWII, McDade sent Ben to England on business. On the ship, she met a young Brit named Arthur Parry, called Scotty, and "liked him very much." They married and the young couple soon launched Parry Nurseries on Signal Mountain, focusing on peonies. Eventually, they switched to daylilies, growing 12 acres of the hardy perennials and introducing hundreds of varieties, including 32 of Ben's very own. The current owners, Laurel Parry Steele and David Steele, met while attending Middle Tennessee State University. They married in 1972 and moved to Calhoun, GA, where David worked at the University of Georgia doing agriculture research. However, after the death of Scotty they chose to return to Signal Mountain and throw their shoulders to the wheel at the nursery. Thus, in 1977, Signal Mountain Nursery was founded on the remnants of Parry Nurseries. Laurel and David's daughter Kim currently manages the nursery along with her husband Mark Bonastia. Three generations have grown Signal Mountain Nursery from a small two greenhouse nursery to a vibrant garden center with over 45 greenhouses that delights customers today.
