Ten Mile Creek Nursery was started in 2004 by Bill Bancroft, a graduate of the Auburn University School of Horticulture. The nursery, located south of Hartford, AL, is crossed by a creek fed by cool freshwater springs that have never been known to go dry, even in times of severe drought. Bill was mentored during the start-up process by his grandfather, J.P. Kennedy, who has owned and operated Ten Mile Creek Fish Farms for more than 40 years. Mr. Kennedy was one of the first commercial growers of tilapia in the southeastern
TMCN started as a wholesale nursery producing general landscaping plants and has since developed into a business with three distinct areas: 1) general landscape plants, 2) beach restoration and coastal native plants, and 3) the sale of ornamental lotus, Nelumbo nucifera. We currently have almost 30,000 square feet of greenhouse space plus several acres of container plants and trees.
It is our goal to provide our customers with beautiful, quality plants while being a good steward of land and water resources. Best management practices are studied and implemented in order to ensure that the land and water shepherded by the Kennedy family for generations will be preserved for many more generations to come.
