History of Blackburn Nursery
|
|
Blackburn Nursery
is a local, family owned business established in 1936 by Tom and
Ruth Blackburn as Blackburn Lawn Service. With a borrowed rake,
shovel and wheelbarrow they set out to become "the name" in the
lawn, garden, landscape, and maintenance business.
Installing landscape plantings, trimming trees and shrubs, mowing lawns, and even installing
one of the first irrigation systems in this part of the Midwest,
were the order of the day in that first year. The business quickly
became a great success.
In early 1973 the ownership of the business
changed to Jim and Barbara Blackburn and the name changed to Blackburn
Nursery and Lawn Service which better reflected the direction of
the business.
Ever changing and expanding, the business was purchased
in 1995 by the current owners Brett (a third generation owner and
fourth generation nurseryman) and Suzy Blackburn. Growing and expanding
every year, Blackburn's has seen many changes over the years with
a Garden Store, Landscape Design & Installation, Lawn Irrigation,
Landscape Lighting, Site Planning, Lawn Renovation, Retaining Walls,
Computer Imaging, Nursery Sales and much more.
Our current
focus is the highest quality plant material from the best growers,
prompt, professional, courteous client service, and an expanding
Home and Garden Center.
In late Spring 1999 we joined forces with
Home and Garden Showplace who's parent company is a Fortune 500
Company that supports 14 billion dollars in retail sales, and has
10,500 member owners. These numbers give us the buying power to
offer product selection and prices that compete with the national
chains, yet we retain the high quality, helpful service and friendly,
neighborly approach to business our clients have come to expect.
We moved to a new state of the art facility located on 30+
acres in 2001 to lead our industry in northeast Kansas into
the new millennium with a much wider variety of merchandise, goods
and services.
