Green’s Nursery – 5th

Green’s Nursery is a complex consisting of a brick commercial building and nine greenhouses. The two-story brick building, with a commercial space on the ground floor and a residential flat above, was built c. 1913 as the shop and residence of Wesley B. Green, a retail florist. The business was very successful; greenhouses were added c. 1918 and 1945. Many Fort Worth florists learned their trade working for Green. Now a wholesale nursery, the business has had several owners since 1968. Several new greenhouses were built in 1983. Green’s Nursery Building is a contributing resource in the Fairmount-Southside Historic District (local and national). Since originally documented, the front windows have been mostly closed in with narrow vertical windows and the upstairs window air conditioner has been removed.
