About Us

The Owners
We are a family owned nursery and landscaping business with more than 30 years of experience and roots that go three generations deep.

Owner Chris Wagner has been in the business all his life having grown up with a dad who was a landscaper in Colorado. Chris moved his family to Montana over 25 years ago and has been working in the Montana landscape industry ever since. Three of Chris' sons—Jake, Nick, and Marc—followed him into the family business.

We started the first of our three nurseries over 15 years ago in Whitehall; the Belgrade nursery opened its doors
7 years ago, and Butte opens its doors May of 2011.

Our staff loves landscaping and we love plants and flowers.
