Donna Patterson chats about the history of the greenhouse that is the centerpiece of Bryant’s Nursery. The nursery, at 2700 Loop Road in Vale, recently opened. (The Enterprise/Pat Caldwell).
VALE – A greenhouse with a long history is now the centerpiece of a new nursery operated by a local couple outside of Vale.
Bryant’s Nursery – operated by Donna and Bob Patterson – opened up earlier this spring and offers a wide variety of flowers and plants inside a greenhouse that once was scattered into more than 100 different pieces.
The Bryant’s Nursery greenhouse is the last vestige of what was once a major nursery in California.
Donna Patterson’s grandparents once owned the large nursery in Santa Cruz, Calif., and it offered more than a million plants.
