Brighton Mi Garden Club Speaker Feb. 9, 2023

Brighton Community Center 555 Brighton St. Brighton, MI. 10:30 am

George Papadelis: More than four decades ago, George and Mark were youngsters who had set up a roadside stand at their house on John R. Rd. to sell plants they had started and grown themselves. Their entrepreneurship proved productive and profitable. So much so, that it kept them busy until it was time for George to go off to study medicine at the University of Michigan. There, George pursued a career of nurturing people rather than plants for four full years. But each summer, he came home to tend to the flower stand. By that time, the operation had grown into a full blown seasonal business. George soon found that along with his love of cultivating beautiful flowers for many Troy residents and other passers-by, he also enjoyed the challenges of growing the business. Telly’s Greenhouse and Garden Center has a wide selection of plants, great quality, and friendly, knowledgeable service at a reasonable price.
