Mike Ravicchio founded Evergreen Garden Center in 1986. His mom, Dyan Golick, joined him as his business partner and bookkeeper, and his brother, Bryan, joined the team as general manager the following year. The nursery opened at 350 N. Villa Ave in Clovis, CA for its first nine years in business. Once the lease expired at 350 N. Villa, in 1994 Mike found a parcel of land on Alluvial Ave.
He spent the next year navigating the building and permitting processes, finally opening the nursery at its current location in 1995. Together, Mike and Bryan spent each autumn improving the property. They laid cement walkways, one wheelbarrow load at a time; constructed numerous tables to display inventory and built shade structures to protect plants from the searing valley sun.

Evergreen Garden Center is my favorite nursery in Fresno/clovis. They have something for everyone, plants that are great for beginners and pros. It's not so big that it is overwhelming. It's organized in an easy to maneuver way. There is always help available and easy to find someone who works there if you have questions. It's therapeutic, and beautiful. 5/5 would recommend.

It was a decent shopping experience. A little on the high end in terms of pricing. Employees are professional, but as in any business, guests are encouraged to make bigger purchases. Understandable. The clearance section is the best part; lots of beautiful plants at discounted prices. Overall, it is a very lovely nursery that seems to hold a very special place in the community.
