All About Annie Appleseed 
Ask us about economic stimulus package (SALE prices.)

My husband and I are animal lovers and former “parents” to two labs, Gumbo and Okra (who, incidentally, had complete run of our yard). Consequently, we didn’t venture into this yard much afterwards. 
 
However, after Gumbo went to “Doggie Heaven,” we decided to take back our yard, unbeknownst to Okra.
 
With grand ideas to create a landscape design with a clear pallet, we started the grim task of ripping everything out, fence by fence, limb by limb, right down to the last blade of grass! There was only one problem when done…., we both drew a complete blank when it came to ideas and realized we needed the assistance of a landscape designer.  So we solicited the help of Greta, our designer, and together we created a little slice of Heaven, here on earth, on a 1/5th of an acre! 

After six years of planting in every nook and cranny, we ran out of space and had no choice but to continue our garden therapy by planting in reusable nursery containers.  Little did we know but this is when the business began to “bud.”
 
Apparently needing a lot of "garden therapy," we now propagate over 200 different kinds of landscape plants from cuttings, division, or seed, in what was our former dog run. We propagate without a greenhouse, so our plants already stand the test of time in all kinds of weather year round.

Since Annie teaches school during the daytime, her husband came up with the idea for a business name, and it stuck. Hence, "Annie Appleseed" broke ground!  

A year after our business "took root," we "branched off" into vermi-composting our kitchen trash using red wigglers. It is not hard to become a fan of those voracious little trash hounds! They multiply like rabbits... and eat half their weight in food each day! All the while they create highly nutritious worm casts, or in layman’s terms, worm poop!!!  
 
Aside from the fact that our garden beds contain our compost, we now sell this “living compost” filled with worms locally. Worms condition and aerate your soil and give it maximum water holding capacity! 

This might sound a little "seedy," but we "branched out" in yet another direction.  Because we secretly belong to “Dead Headers Anonymous,” a joyful little group that LOVES to prune flowers and collect seed, we now create ALL OCCASION Custom Flower seed and Tea packets for wedding party favors/birth announcements and this "seemed the perfect marriage!"
