Willie and Glynda, along with their 4 children moved to Rankin County from Dothan, Alabama in 1979. With a step out on faith, they built their first greenhouse that year and began growing plants wholesale only. By 1986, they had a successful wholesale business with 16 greenhouses and had decided to take the next steps, so they built a small rack outside in front of one of the greenhouses and began selling to the public.
Now, thanks to our loyal customers, the retail operation, Rivers Greenhouse and Garden, Inc., has 10 greenhouses and an outdoor tree/shrub area where we grow and sell. We owe all of our success to God and our great customers.
Currently Willie and Glynda have retired and their children now own the businesses. Rivers Greenhouse and Garden is owned by their daughter, Joy Rivers Faulkner. Joy’s son, Justin Fortune is an MSU Landscape Architecture graduate and is taking the business into the 3rd generation. We have a fabulous team of employees that help make us such a success and make Rivers your happy place.
