Master Gardeners visit BoBo’s Nursery

Ginger of Bo Bo’s Nursery provides overview of poinsettia care while touring the greenhouses. Contributed photo Local Master Gardeners had an early Holiday treat as they visited behind the scenes of Bo Bo’s Nursery. Ginger with Bo Bo’s was the feature speaker of this week’s Master Gardener Training. She provided a history of the family business and how they began and evolved in to the national recognized nursery business that they are today. This business really has roots after thirty something years they still provide the dedicated service that Ginger and Cheryl’s mother and father provided in the humble beginnings of the roadside vegetable stand. Master Gardeners toured the start up houses where every plant begins its cycle at Bo Bo’s and then moved to the wholesale section where plants are in mass volume and are sold to other nurseries and landscape customers and then over to the holiday favorite poinsettia houses. From there the groups visited the retail area of the business and were provided a wonderful meal by the staff at Bo Bo’s Nursery. Texas Agrilife Extension would like to Thank Bo Bo’s staff for their friendly hospitality.
