the Nursery has always been a family business
McCombs Nursery covered 160 acres and was passed from father to son, all the way to Glen’s father, who later moved to Phoenix in the 1940s. Don McCombs continued the family tradition at Arizona State University and Wheat’s Nursery. Glen started working with his father at age 16.
“Dad was a front-runner at propagating native Arizona plants so they could be sold. He used to drive the family around on Sundays, looking at the trees and repeating the names of each. I knew how to pronounce all the botanical names when I was in grade school.”
Experience Matters
Glen has worked in the nursery business all his life, except for four years in the armed services. Thanks to years of experience at Tip Top Nursery in Phoenix and people he came to know in the industry, Glen says he was able to increase significantly the plant palate offered in Payson when he opened his store in 1983.
As our nursery has grown over the years, Glen's son, Rob, and his wife, Lisa, are keeping the family tradition alive and play important roles with their individual areas of expertise. We are proud that most recently, Rob and Lisa's son, Matthew, has added another generation.
