If you’ve been to any number of events in Mississippi, you’ve likely seen the incredible work of Green Oak featured. From the Sanderson Farms Championship to weddings to displays in Cultivation Food Hall, they do it all. What you may not know about Green Oak is that it is a family owned and run business.
Billy and Rita Martinson opened Green Oak Nursery in Jackson in 1962 after Billy graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in horticulture. As the business continued to grow it expanded into a greenhouse and landscaping and floral shop. Their children, Ginny, Karen, Chip, and Allen were always involved in the business. In 1998, Karen and her husband, Maur, purchased Green Oak. In 2005, Allen and his wife, Mimi, purchased Billy’s other garden center, GardenWorks. Karen and Maur expanded the business to include a wide range of horticulture services, including landscaping, general maintenance, Christmascaping, interiorscaping, colorscaping, plant rentals, and events. In 2012, Greek Oak opened its second location in Ridgeland.
Other families are also involved in operating the business. The McKie siblings, Eric, Carly, and Nic have all been involved over the years. Eric and his wife Carly James manage the Jackson location while daughter Carly manages the Ridgeland location. Karen’s sister, Ginny, is the service administrator. It is clear that at Green Oak, all the employees are treated like family. For example, Eddie T. James has been a part of the Green Oak family since the business opened in 1962 and continues to touch the lives of Green Oak customers through his vast knowledge and infectious, charming personality.
