About Pixies Gardens

Pixies Gardens started by accident—and a little desperation. Back in 2008, the recession hit us hard and we had to shut down our pizza restaurant. With bills piling up and hope running low, we turned to the only “inventory” we had left: a backyard full of plants.

We listed a few on Craigslist, thinking, “Hey, maybe someone wants this hydrangea more than we do.” Turns out, they did! One plant sold, then another, and before we knew it, our side hustle had turned into a full-blown plant nursery.

Of course, every good business needs a name. We looked around for inspiration, and there she was our dog Pixie, wagging her tail like the CEO she thought she was. Naming it Pixies Gardens was a no-brainer.

Pixie sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in 2018, but her name and spirit live on—alongside thousands of happy plants (and hopefully just as many happy customers).
