Our Story
Laurie & Mary Ellen Park started Plantenders in 1977 in Trabuco Canyon. The Parks were then volunteer wild-land fire fighters at station 18, with Laurie serving as Captain. When Mary Ellen was run over by a firetruck while her team was overwhelmed in a blaze, Laurie had to put his medical school admission on hold to care for her and their young son. Needing an income the couple started Plantenders with "plant parties" which turned into an interior plant maintenance company and a greenhouse. Soon the Parks found The Old Gano Walnut Farm, a historic farm, nut and fruit store, and moved Plantenders Nursery to its current location. The Parks have worked hard to maintain the natural and rustic beauty of the historic farm and store and are happy that their daughter has now joined them in its preservation.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
