5 COMPANY HISTORY The roots of Hermes Nursery run deep in America s heartland. The business was founded in 1965 by local legend John T. Hermes. Originally from Ponca City, OK, growing up on a farm with humble means, John T. felt drawn to return to his roots in agribusiness. John T. began growing trees and shrubs in 1985 as a natural extension of his lawn and landscape business. At that time, it was difficult for him to find quality plant material convenient to the greater Kansas City area, so he decided to grow his own nursery stock. Through the late 80s and early 90s, Hermes Nursery continued to acquire land, refine its growing practices, and expand the organization. Good news travels fast, and others around town began expressing interest in the great plant material being grown at Hermes Nursery. This led to the creation of the Landscape Distribution Center in In 1997, the family tradition continued when John T. retired and his son, Dalton, took over the reigns. Under Dalton s leadership, Hermes Nursery has continued to stay focused on its mission to pursue beauty with a passion and grow the finest trees available. Innovative ideas sometimes happen long before they become standard practice. One example is Dalton s early decision to focus on growing native tree and plant varieties. Plants that are native to our area are naturally resilient, with hardier root systems that require less water, thereby ensuring higher transplant survivability rates. For more information visit and discover why Hermes Nursery remains committed to growing native plants and trees. 3
