Episode 19: Kankakee Nursery x LandscapeHub

Nostalgia sets in on this episode... Kankakee is the first ever supplier on LandscapeHub!

4th generation leaders Pete Worth and Amy Baker talk about their 97-year-old labor of love and how it has evolved over the years.  Located in Aroma Park, IL they service Colorado (all you rocky mountain fans out there) to Boston, as well as our friends in Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Their diverse plant palette makes them an easy truck filler. 

Looking to the future, Pete discusses their new crop of native trees and evergreens in Root Pouches (another shout out), their benefit of growing in the root pouches, and the Native tree movement here in IL. Amy talks about their long tenured labor force that has become family with next generations stepping up to help keep the nursery growing as a company. Don’t forget – they also do some liners too. 

Tune in to check out the diversity that Kankakee has to offer along with the great people that are continuing the family legacy.
