From High School Project to Blooming Legacy:
A Family's Passionate Journey with Plants
Fulfilling a Vision & Keeping the Dream Alive
In the late 1960’s, Toney, the youngest of the Phillips brothers, started growing plants from cuttings as a high school project. When people started to show interest, he realized that he may be able to make some extra money. Setting up shop in his parents’ yard on Hwy 17 in Leland NC, he began to do just that!
In 1970, Toney’s life was tragically taken in an accident while working on a neighboring farm. His nursery sat untouched until 1972 when his brothers David and Hugh, along with the help of their father Charlie, decided to kick it off again in Toney’s memory.
For the past 50 years, Hugh and David have grown their brother’s simple high school side gig into one of the largest nurseries in Brunswick County, serving both the local landscape contractors and individual homeowners.
In 2022, ownership of the nursery was taken over by Hugh’s son Mark, who has dedicated his time over the last 30 years to helping his father and uncle with everyday operation and growth. Alongside his wife Kim and Mark is carrying on the dream his Uncle Toney had more than a half century ago!

Phillips has the the most beautiful plants.
Huge selection! Small or tall they have got it all!! So many different items here. They have gold carts you can take to make your tour a little easier! - Emily B. Love this nursery. Large selection and competitive prices. Plant sizes are big and healthy. They give you list of their inventory and prices and let you walk or drive one of their golf carts around to look and shop. Definitely going back.- Kathryn H. Easy to deal with tremendous selection. You are to roam around the very large property to select the tree or shrubbery of your choice mr and mrs Phillips are extremely knowledgeable about their products. They do not take plastic. Keep that in mind.

Fantastic! Great prices. Lots of “workhorse” shrubs. Landscapers delight! They gave me a golf cart to drive around and collect the shrubs, very casual setting. I’ll be going back for things like Boxwoods and other evergreens. A gem!
My husband and I are new to this area. We came across this nursery, on a search, in safari. Despite it being a challenging day, the day after the Hurricane, the owner was welcoming, helpful, and his stock was varied, plentiful, and stunning. We chose a miniature butterfly bush that was incredibly healthy and lush, and what’s more, very reasonable. We complemented him on his stock. Will return for more.
Great place to find common landscaping foundation plants, as well as some specimen plantings. Staff has been very friendly and helpful the times that I have been there, and the prices seem extremely reasonable.
WOW! Great selection and super pricing. I bet this is where the landscapers go for their stock and then mark it up 150%. Everything look healthy well cared for, once you get pointed in the right direction just pick what you want and off you go. Cash and checks only but it's worth it.
