Want to get to know the people you see in-store? Meet the team at Primex Garden Center. You may have seen Marshall around the nursery, but now is your chance to learn more about this familiar face, fourth-generation owner, and nursery manager.
Sometimes the best journeys lead you right back home. That’s exactly what happened to Marshall Green, fourth-generation owner and nursery manager at Primex Garden Center, whose story is now featured in Terra Firma Magazine. Before helping lead the family business, Marshall built a career as a chef in Philadelphia. When he returned to Primex in 2014, he didn’t step straight into leadership. He started in the nursery, earning the respect of his team one tree and shrub at a time.
The feature offers a behind-the-scenes look at Marshall’s path from the restaurant kitchen to the garden center, along with the family history, leadership lessons, and people-first philosophy that continue to shape Primex today. Readers will also discover how the business has adapted through changing times while staying true to its roots and finding new ways to serve gardeners throughout the community.
