About Us
Since 1975, Jimbo’s Nursery has grown from a small backyard nursery into a second-generation, family-run garden center and landscaping team serving the Gulf Coast.
A Backyard Beginning
Jimmy Woolsey starts Jimbo’s Nursery, trucking plants from his mother’s nursery in the Valley and selling them out of the back of his truck to local florists in the Houston Area.
Putting Down Roots
After the market crash makes trucking unsustainable, he purchases land in Santa Fe and builds the first greenhouse—establishing Jimbo’s as a permanent nursery.
A Passion for Bromeliads
A growing interest in bromeliads leads to the start of a now-extensive collection, becoming a signature part of Jimbo’s.
Expanding the Vision
In 2021, Claire, Jimmy’s daughter, joined the nursery and became part of the next generation helping carry Jimbo’s forward. Working alongside her business partner Anita, whose background in farming brought valuable growing experience, the two have helped expand the nursery’s social media presence, events, plant selection, and community-focused offerings.
Today - Growing Forward
Today, Jimbo’s continues to grow as a family-owned nursery, offering a wider selection of plants, hands-on workshops, community events, and personalized garden services for customers of all ages.
