the dothan nurseries team
Hello and a warm welcome to Dothan Nurseries! I'm JD Boone, the proud owner, and I'm genuinely excited that you've decided to pay us a visit. Allow me to share a bit about my background – my connection to the nursery and landscaping world goes way back, thanks to my parents who embarked on this journey in the vibrant era of the '70s. Growing up amidst the lush beauty of plants and landscapes, I've developed a profound affection for this industry.
But here's the scoop – what we're all about at Dothan Nurseries goes beyond mere plant sales. Life has showered me with incredible blessings, and I'm committed to paying it forward. That's why I believe in giving back to the community that has supported us. So, I invite you to swing by, say hello, and let me personally guide you through our verdant wonderland. It's an experience you won't want to miss!
In tribute to Bob, now retired, his days are filled with crafting stories that leap off the page, each word a brushstroke painting vivid scenes of the great outdoors he so dearly loves. His books are a testament to his passion, reflecting the beauty he finds in nature's embrace. Bob's retirement is a chapter of exploration, where every trail and vista becomes a source of inspiration for his next narrative. His love for the outdoors is not just a hobby but a way of life, grounding him in the beauty of the world around him. He is dearly missed, his presence a gentle reminder of the impact he has had on those around him. We have his book *Blood in Lake Eufaula* here for sale, and we eagerly anticipate more literary treasures from his retirement for us to enjoy.
