About the Business

When April Cohen, an interior designer and restaurant owner, met Jim Ruzicka, he ran a machine shop in Houston. "It was a stressful job, so to relieve stress, I grew and propagated plants in my backyard." After a few years, I wound up with a whole lot of plants."

Jim frequented April's Heart and Soul Café, often teasing her about trading plants for meals. One day, she decided to drop by and was astonished by what she saw--hundreds of plants filled his backyard. "She asked me what I was going to do with all of those plants, and I said I didn't know." April suggested selling them, so they made 19 signs and posted them throughout the neighborhood. "It was so much fun. We sold every plant in a single day."

What began as a hobby soon grew into a thriving business. With her knowledge of decorating and design and his knowledge and love of plants, Jim and April made the perfect team.

Years later we have a landscape business along with our antique shop and just recently our nursery.

Established in 1996.
