dee Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Mar 1, 2012 Who might own the garden center that David Wilson use to own years ago. I use to live in this area.My job relocated me for the last 12yrs.So much has changed since my departure. Trying to get a follow up on the new business, It astounds me how much this area has grown.Is this garden center as reliable and great with landscape as David once was. Thank you for input.
karma Clinton, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Mar 3, 2012 Tom Lakers is one of the owners now. Yes, it is a really good place to go for your landscaping needs, and they have SOME really knowledgable, friendly, and helpful people working there. Their landscape designers are very good at what they do as well. My understanding from others is that it has GREATLY improved since David Wilson left. They are pricey, but they have a good selection of plants,trees, shrubs,etc. that are all VERY well maintained. Go in April or May. They're well stocked by then, and everything looks beautiful!!!
dee Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Mar 5, 2012 Thank you.I definitely will check them out. Tom Lakers? I do not think i recognize that name.
captian morgan Clinton, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Mar 6, 2012 I recognize that name! He used to work for JC Penney. What an a**h@#%! Heard he's only gotten worse over the years. His nursery looks really nice........from the road. I refuse to go there and give him my business.
leroy Knoxville, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #5 Mar 6, 2012 Are you referring to the Nursery on the east end of Oak Ridge? Called Willow Run? or Willow Ridge? That place is real pretty.But yes.They are way to expensive.and I thought there was more than one owner.
karma Clinton, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Mar 14, 2012 Willow Ridge Garden Center. I think Willow Run is apartments, not sure. Yes, it's pretty and expensive, but I shop there because they have really nice plants,and the employees that work OUTSIDE are very helpful. Think they're over doing the pots there though. I'm afraid they might be losing sight of what their business really is.
longtimer Loudon, TN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 Mar 25, 2012 Tom lakers is one of the owners.Hes talked about by different business and not liked by very many ppl...
