Welcome

Chaparral Nursery began in 1977 primarily as a business to supplement the retirement income of Arthur and Vivian Bell.  At that time they grew azalea cuttings and sold them to other growers and to the general public on a retail level.  As the years passed, they built more and more greenhouses until there were five small “Quonset houses” in their backyard.  The business expanded to include 150 varieties of hanging baskets specializing in Boston ferns and annuals.

After hurricane Hugo and then the “1992 Storm of the Century”, all inventory and buildings had been lost.  Chaparral Nursery was passed on to their son Michael Bell and the restructure of the nursery began.  Today there are three distinct companies to serve you.
