Kingsport’s Trusted Garden Center
Generation After Generation
A family owned and operated full-service garden center in East TN
About the Green People
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 garden center is lovingly owned and operated by their youngest son, Michael Valk, alongside his wife Laura and daughters Jessica and Sarah.
Since 1960, the Green People have been a trusted resource for gardeners across East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. Now located in 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.
