Ammon Nursery was founded in the spring of 1950 by Dick and Shirley Ammon.  Dick sold landscaping door-to-door during the post-war boom years in the Florence area.  The first nursery and garden store was located where the Florence Mall stands today and consisted of $50.00 worth of shrubs and a 15-year-old pick up truck.  The Ammon organization has grown into three major areas.

 

• Ammon Farm, a nursery growing primarily shade and ornamental trees

• Ammon Wholesale Nursery, a container-growing operation servicing the wholesale market

• Ammon-Jones Landscape, Inc., a landscape design firm specializing in residential and commercial landscaping

​

On November 1st, 2002 Dave and Shirley Jones acquired Ammon Landscape and will continue to operate under the same high standards that the Ammon name has always represented.
