Legacy
Founded in 1975 by Cherie and Bill Marcum, Marcum’s Nursery has grown to be one of the premier independent garden centers, tree growers and landscape service companies in the state of Oklahoma. Since the beginning, Cherie and Bill made it a priority to deliver quality merchandise and service at a reasonable price. That charge, along with their work ethic and customer focus, is the force that continues to drive Marcum’s Nursery today.
OUR FOUNDERS
Before Marcum’s Nursery Founders, Cherie and Bill, began farming long before they ever had dreams of owning and operating a family nursery business. Prior to the nursery’s foundation and with deep roots in Oklahoma agriculture, the Marcum family farmed over 1,200 acres of property growing everything from alfalfa, peanuts, cotton and soybeans.
TIMELINE
1975
Cherie and Bill built greenhouses behind their home and began growing tomatoes to sell to local grocers; next, they added hanging baskets. Before long, they could see that their greenhouse operation could grow into something much bigger.
1982
With encouragement from friends and family, along with an increased demand for their plant products, Cherie and Bill Marcum established Marcum’s Nursery in Goldsby, Oklahoma – home of the company headquarters to this day!
1994
We’ve got a good thing “growing” – Service expands to the Oklahoma City metro area with the opening of a second nursery location at Southwest 119th and Pennsylvania Avenue.
2013
Despite Cherie and Bill’s retirement in 2013, Marcum’s Nursery continues as a family owned and operated business today. Sons Monty and Kelly Marcum, who began work at the nursery in 1982, continue their parents’ legacy and commitment to delivering great merchandise at reasonable prices.
2017
April and September of 2017 brought two more exciting ventures for the Marcum’s Nursery and Tree Farm family with the purchasing of K&K Nursery in Norman and Wilkinson’s Nursery in Ardmore. Both additions are branded and operated as Marcum’s Nursery locations expanding services state wide.
THE HERE AND NOW
Along with the third generation of Marcums and a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced workforce (including several employees who have been with the company for 20 years or more), owners, Monty and Kelly, are excited to grow and serve the state of Oklahoma for many more years to come.
