About ChamberlainAcres
I grew up spending time with my grandmother while my parents worked. She had a love of gardening, so it was natural for me to be outside in the the garden with her. My love for gardening grew and grows more each and every year. After many years of factory work I left to help a friend in his remodeling business. With remodeling comes people wanting a change in their yards. This led to doing some landscaping. The more I landscaped the more I hated going to nurseries to buy plants. Don't get me wrong, I love a good nursery, but unfortunetly I haven't found many. So this past year with encouragement from friends and family I have been working towards opening my own nursery in the spring. There is a lot of work a head of me and I am learning more each day about being a nursery, however I am always and will forever be first and foremost a gardener. I love to talk gardening with anyone.
