McConnell’s Nursery was founded in 1975 when Richard McConnell purchased the land from his father, who had operated a dairy farm. Richard, alongside his wife Christine, began cultivating evergreen trees, and over the years, expanded their work to include shrubs and ground cover.
Their children—Scott, Gretchen, and Jen—grew up with the farm and were always involved in the daily tasks. Today, three generations of the McConnell family continue to work together to maintain the farm.
We specialize in providing high-quality B&B (Balled & Burlapped) plants to garden centers, landscape contractors, and wholesale yards. Each year, we open our farm to the public for the Christmas tree season—a tradition that has become a highlight for many in the community.
The farm has seen many changes through the years, and we’re excited to see how it will continue to grow.
"A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work." -Ecclesiastes 2:24
