Our Story
How it started, and how it's going.
How it started.
Over 30 years ago, Kathy Ellensohn and Tim Fease founded Old Valley Nursery out of their own family farm. From humble beginnings, Kathy and Tim have grown Old Valley Nursery into the impressive seasonal operation that exists today. Specializing in perennials, they provide the nursery with artisanally crafted and hand-nurtured plants that beautify landscapes throughout all seasons. Their wholesale farm remains their passion, and with this focus they allow Old Valley Nursery to grow under new leadership.
How it's going.
In 2023, Greg Merideth and his family acquired Old Valley Nursery (the retail side) out of pure love for this community, perennials, and founders Kathy and Tim. With every intention of continuing the wonderful legacy they started, Greg and our growing team have worked hard to protect what makes this place special while bringing in fresh, modern ideas. At the heart of everything we do is our community—from supporting our troops with a veterans program, to enriching our youth with scholarships, and bringing comfort to local families through hospice donations.
Now, we are so excited to invite you to dream big with us as we step into our next chapter! Our new home—set in a charm-filled building that’s over 100 years old—is easier than ever to spot right from State Street. While the new place is still a work in progress, it gives us so much room to grow. Greg has big plans in the works, including a cozy coffee shop and a fun gift shop for you to enjoy as everything comes together. Caring for our neighbors and staying true to where we started will always be our focus, because as we love to say, "it's in the roots!"
