Our History
By Steve Kelley, Proprietor
 Bill Kelley, a  land surveyor, and his brother Rod, a landscape designer, joined forces  in 1922 to establish Kelley & Kelley, coaxing a small parcel of  land from their parents Will and Ella (my  great grand parents) on which to set up shop. The Kelleys (Will and  Ella, Bill and Rod and their six brothers and sisters) came to Long  Lake from Missouri in the early 1900's, settling on the land that is  still home to Kelley & Kelley. The site was a working farm for the  Kelleys; the barn and machine shed stand as a reminder. Likewise, mature  trees - spruce, white pine, arborvitae, ginkgo and maple - scattered  here and there  attest to the property's days as a growing range. Our current nursery  stock, potted annuals, perennials and shrubs find temporary homes in an  informal fashion amongst this canopy. You'll find that display gardens  and growing beds ramble around the property, with a lovingly -  maintained 1930's era glass greenhouse as the center of attention. It  all adds up to a pleasant, relaxed, day-in-the-country kind of character.
 

We're justly proud of our little 99 year old family enterprise and love  nothing more than greeting customers on the old home grounds and  sharing our love of plants, gardens, and gardening. We invite your  visit.
