Hines Nursery continues to fast-track growing operations with the acquisition of California based Bordier’s Nursery. Hines Nurseries now manages the growing and sale of the assets that include all inventory and equipment from Bordier’s Nursery. “Virtually the entire inventory consists of premium shrubs, vines, tropicals and topiary material grown for the western states and Texas markets,” said Steve Thigpen, president and CEO of Hines Nurseries.
Both the 120-acre Irvine property and the 380-acre Moorpark facility will merge into the 200-acre Somis facility.
Along with the acquisition, Hines has retained many key employees: Sandra Runyon, vice president human resources; Mark Berchiolli, regional sales manager; Bruce Lane, director of process improvement and George Gutman, nursery services manager.
