Kingsport’s Trusted Garden Center
Generation After Generation
Rooted in Tradition – Growing for the Future
Visit The Green People in Kingsport, TN
Founded in 1966 by Dutch immigrants Auke and Sarah Valk, Evergreen of Colonial Heights is proud to be the oldest garden center in East Tennessee. What began as a humble dream has blossomed into a thriving, third-generation family business. Upon Auke and Sarah’s retirement, their four sons carried the torch, and today, the Kingsport location center is lovingly owned and operated by their youngest son, Michael Valk, alongside his wife Laura and daughters Jessica and Sarah.
For nearly 60 years, our full service garden center has been a trusted resource for gardeners across East Tennessee and the surrounding areas. Now settled in the Colonial Heights area of Kingsport, TN, we continue to grow—expanding our storefront and deepening our commitment to offering a wide variety of quality plants, trees, shrubs, and garden essentials.
We believe there’s no such thing as a black thumb—just a gardener waiting to bloom.
Come visit us at 1876 Moreland Drive in Kingsport, TN—we can’t wait to grow with you!
