~ About Us ~
We are proud to announce that Crowley Nursery is now a Botanical Garden!
Crowley Nursery is the inspiration and creation of it's owner,
Kathy Crowley, who says, "I invite everyone to come and visit my Heaven on Earth."
The Dream
I dreamt of being in the nursery business all my life. My parents
and grandparents were in the business in New Jersey. From when I
can barely remember, I would help weed and water the plants, and do
whatever was asked of me. I loved working with the plants, making
them beautiful.
The Vision
We have 20 acres at the end of a dirt road. I had a vision of
beautiful gardens. Even though we were far away from the city and
experiencing the ups and downs of life, the vision of a nursery became
reality. I drove an hour from our home every day to my dream,
getting home again in the dark. We finally sold our home, and
moved to the property.
A Family Business
My son, Paul, who passed away five years ago, was the first to help in
my project. He gave me inspiration in the direction it has taken.
Charlie, my husband, buys my plants. He has traveled all
his life, so it is a perfect job for him.
We progressed and expanded. My oldest son, Warner, joined
us. He is our expert in the propagation of plants, especially
bamboo. Finally, my next son, Brad joined us. He loves
landscaping and creating interesting features along the garden paths.
We would all like to welcome you to our site.
Kathy, Charlie, Warner, Brad and Jennifer
