History of Clear Ridge Nursery

Описание: In 1984, Joe and Sharon Barley purchased an 87-acre farm in rural Carroll County, Maryland with the vision to renovate it and start a plant nursery on the property. With a background in forestry and native plants, Joe’s vision was to grow native trees and shrubs for conservation, reforestation, and restoration projects. Clear Ridge Nursery was formally established in 1994, starting with a small inventory of 18 species and 20,000 plants in 1-2 gallon containers.

Clear Ridge Nursery quickly flourished as a wholesale native nursery as tractors and equipment, a small work force, and thousands upon thousands of plants were added to the farm. In 2008 Jessica Barley Todd took the step towards succession of the company and purchased 51% of the nursery. In 2009, Clear Ridge Nursery gained MBE/WBE/DBE certification in Maryland which allows us to provide assistance to customers who have projects requiring minority participation.

Over the last 30 years we have expanded our inventory to over 70 species of native & ornamental trees and shrubs with an inventory of 150,000 plants in 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 gallon container sizes. Our trees are healthy and of the highest quality. Plant with confidence with Native trees and shrubs from Clear Ridge Nursery.
