May 10, 2023 - Mimi’s Plant Nursery celebrated with a ribbon cutting event on Thursday, May 4, 2023, hosted by the Shelby County Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors.
Shelby County Chamber of Commerce President Deborah Chadwick introduced Melissa Evans, owner of Mimi’s Plant Nursery, and invited her to share about her business.
“Welcome Melissa and Mimi’s Nursery to the Chamber of Commerce family and we’re really, really excited,” said Chadwick.
Evans worked at Joaquin ISD for 16 years and said she was ready to make a change when she started Mimi’s Plant Nursery with the help of her husband, Gary Evans.
“I started three seasons ago, we started with just the little green house,” said Evans.
Evans said they started with a little green house, $1,200 and filled up the green house with plant life.
“Everything that I’ve needed has fallen in my hands, it’s like God said ‘here you go,’” said Evans.
She said she is happy now, doing what she loves and the people who come to see her are there because they want to be. She explained she enjoys meeting and talking with customers and she’s thankful to be there and is looking forward to the business continuing to grow.
Mimi’s Plant Nursery’s normal business hours are Thursday through Saturday from 9am until 5pm and she can put together custom planted pots. Customers can bring their own pots, or there are sometimes pots available to choose from.
Mimi’s Plant Nursery is located at 9334 Highway 7 E in Joaquin and can be reached by calling 936-590-1171.
