BIOGRAPHY

http://boydnursery.net/about-us/

He was the founder of Boyd Nursery Company in Warren County Tennessee, which has been under family ownership for five generations. At one time they were the third largest provider of nursery stock in the world.

By 1887, JHH Boyd had started his nursery business in the Gage community, Sequatchie Co. TN. Operating under the name JHH Boyd, Nurseryman and Seed Collector, JHH began to experience significant success. By the late 1890s, his products were being sent all over the world by virtue of his established reputation of having exotic and rare plants and seeds. In 1904 JHH moved to Irving College to be closer to the railroad and because the soil was better suited for growing large fields of nursery stock.

In 1907, JHH was approached by Frederick Law Olmsted for the purchase of plants for the reforestation program being conducted within the Biltmore Estates of Asheville, North Carolina. Sending an order of close to a million seedlings in a refrigerated railroad car, the Biltmore Estates shipment helped establish Forest Nursery on solid financial footing.

While the orchard business experienced a drastic decline during prohibition, interest in landscaping brought an increase in the sale of other trees, plants, and vines. Grafting and budding became standard processes in the industry allowing standing mutations and more attractive plants. JHH was ever quick to notice to an unusual shrub or tree and add it to his stock. The pink dogwood is a classic example of this practice. JHH?s unique passion for flora discovery and fertilization led him to experiment and innovate his industry.
