Sawyer Nursery, Inc. of Hudsonville, Michigan has been in the perennial business for over 60 years. We are now an industry-leading producer of a wide variety of perennials in many different sizes. Bob and Shirley Sawyer founded Sawyer Nursery in 1956 to raise extra income to support a growing family. In the early years, Shirley supervised crews during the day doing such tasks as weeding, cultivating, and irrigating the plants while Bob worked as a bricklayer and as a truck driver. Ten years later, the nursery became the sole source of income for the Sawyer family. In 1974 the Sawyer family purchased 90 acres in which the main portion of the nursery is now located. Acreage has been added through the years, and the nursery now operates on approximately 300 acres in two states. Their sons Craig and Scott are still active participants of the nursery. Tom Kowieski is now the owner.
