BILL'S NURSERY, INC.
HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA

Bill's Nursery, Inc., founded in 1969, is a family-owned and operated business based in Homestead, Florida. Originally established by Bill Wiggins, it has been passed down through the generations to Susan Wiggins-Garrison and her husband Stephen Garrison. The nursery cultivates hundreds of varieties of tropical and ornamental plants across its 35-acre property, also known as Almond Tree Nursery. Under Stephen Garrison's leadership, who transitioned from a police officer and Vietnam War veteran to a Chief of Police before pursuing agriculture, the business has continued to thrive and adapt. The company's operations focus on both traditional nursery activities and pioneering efforts in medical marijuana cultivation after recognizing its benefits for conditions like PTSD — a personal cause stemming from the loss of Stephen’s son Matthew, who suffered from the disorder. As certified veteran-owned, Bill's Nursery is dedicated to fostering positive change by advocating for better access and education around medical marijuana. Collaborating with research groups like Tikun Olam, they provide resources on medical marijuana advancements in newsletters, aiming to empower a well-informed patient community. Bill's Nursery remains committed to legislative advocacy in Florida regarding the Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) licenses initially delayed by regulatory processes. The company has been actively engaged since the program’s inception and continuously works towards expanding access for patients, ensuring timely and reliable delivery of medical cannabis as mandated under Amendment 2 and Bill 8A. Officially organized with a status recorded in Florida's business registry, Bill's Nursery operates from its mailing address at 30003 SW 197 Avenue, Homestead, FL. The company is governed by officers including Chief Executive Officer Elad Kohen and Director Donovan Garrison.
