The nursery specializes in a wide array of horticultural products, including annuals, perennials, vegetable starts, and a substantial selection of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs. A cornerstone of their production is their massive seasonal output, which includes approximately 140,000 chrysanthemums and 8 acres of pumpkins for autumn sales.

The business model emphasizes family involvement and maintains a commitment to serving the community through hands-on, high-volume seasonal plant production.
