Friday, Feb. 1 marks The Greenery, Inc.’s 40th anniversary of serving the Lowcountry’s landscaping needs. 

The Greenery was first established on Hilton Head Island in 1973 by Ruthie and Berry Edwards (Check Out Our History) when they bought a small nursery with a staff of six employees, a couple of old pickup trucks and the desire to do something different. Since then, it has grown to 600 employees at the height of the season, serving customers on the island as well as Bluffton, Beaufort, Hardeeville, Savannah and Charleston with its residential and commercial landscape services.  

Berry Edwards commented that he is thankful for the opportunity provided many years ago to start his family business in a wonderful place, Hilton Head Island. “It has been a great 40 years and fun to see how our business, that started small, has changed and grown. Our success has always been about our people, which make it particularly gratifying for me to know that The Greenery is now 100 percent employee owned.”

Lee Edwards, son of Ruthie and Berry, started his career at The Greenery as a young boy who spent his afternoons and weekends helping out in the garden nursery. Lee, now The Greenery’s CEO, is providing new leadership at the helm of this employee-owned corporation. 

“I’m so proud to see how we have continued to build on what my parents started,” Lee Edwards said. “We wish to thank our hard-working and knowledgeable staff of gardening and landscaping specialists as well as our loyal customers who continue to trust our employees to take care of their properties year after year. It’s because of all of you we have successfully grown these past 40 years.”

The Greenery Inc. also operates the Antiques & Garden Collectibles Shop on Hilton Head Island. The historic building, circa 1873, was originally the Old Bethlehem Church just outside of Ridgeland. Ruthie Edwards purchased the building and had it moved 28 miles by flatbed truck and barge to its current location on William Hilton Parkway where it initially housed The Greenery’s offices. Read More

We received the Grand Award in the 2012 Environmental Improvement Awards this October from the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET).  The Greenery won the program’s highest national award for its impressive commitment to environmental stewardship at Palmetto Bluff.

Lee Edwards, CEO of The Greenery Inc., commented “It’s such an honor for The Greenery to be awarded at this high level. It’s a great example of our employees’ strong work ethic and pride they take in their jobs, as well as the great partnership with all of the people we work with at Palmetto Bluff.”

The Greenery Inc. has been the landscape maintenance company  for Palmetto Bluff since the community was first developed in 2000. Our dedicated crew addresses all landscaping and irrigation maintenance needs of this vast and bustling luxury resort and neighborhood, working closely with Palmetto Bluff’s staff. Great lengths are taken by The Greenery’s staff to be environmentally minded in the maintenance of the land, performing much of the maintenance by hand to create the desired natural look without being intrusive of the guests and residents.  

Dallas Wood, Land Development Manager for Palmetto Bluff says, "At Palmetto Bluff, we pride ourselves on land conservation.  The Greenery's professional staff maintains our landscape while keeping the natural appeal of the Bluff's breathtaking views."

This hard work and dedication by The Greenery’s employees provides the guests and residents of Palmetto Bluff an ideal location to enjoy the amenities and beauty of the land.
