Blue Ribbon Nursery in Broadway celebrates 20 years in business

Blue Ribbon Nursery, owned by Josh Shifflett and Chad Comer, is celebrating its 20th anniversary after starting as a small side landscaping project in 2006. The business grew from lawn care and planting jobs into a full-service nursery and garden center in Broadway, expanding over the years to include retail plants, a gift shop, and a seasonal produce market. Both owners developed an early interest in plants—Chad through gardening influences at home and Josh through landscaping work as a teenager. Their commitment to quality has been key to their success, carefully sourcing plants from trusted growers and maintaining them through challenging weather conditions. Today, Blue Ribbon Nursery offers a wide variety of plants, trees, seasonal décor, and locally sourced produce, with plans to continue expanding toward a country-store-style experience.
