From The Enid News: ENID, Okla. — Greenhouse owner Connie Smith understands a life spent growing plants is not an ordinary life.
That’s why she wanted to help another greenhouse owner whose specialty cactus business was wiped out by arson in July.
Virgil and Naoma Nimrod have had a greenhouse and cactus collection since 1972. Their business in Covington, Midwest Cactus Co., was Oklahoma’s largest cactus greenhouse. The Nimrods grew foliage plants, too.
