Announcing New Ownership!

On December 20, 2019, Jeffrey O'Donal became the owner of McSherry's Nursery and Garden Center in Center Conway, New Hampshire. Jeffrey is a second-generation professional horticulturist and is the owner of O'Donal's Nursery in Gorham, Maine. He brings over 40 years of experience with him to the Conway area and is excited to be able to expand McSherry's visibility and influence.

Just a few similarities between O'Donal's Nursery and McSherry's:

O'Donal's Nursery was established in 1960 when Jeffrey's parents, Royce and Selma O'Donal purchased an existing nursery from the Jackson family, who, themselves; had operated a nursery since 1850. John McSherry, just two years later, in 1962; purchased the site of McSherry's Nursery and Garden Center from the Eastman family, of Western Maine Nursery fame, who, clearly had a decades-long impact in the area.

The O'Donal's Nursery purchase in Gorham, Maine is a 10-acre lot. The McSherry Nursery property is 9 acres. There has been 3 generations of McSherry family working at the family nursery; while there has also been 3 generations of O'Donal's working at their family's nursery. Clearly family and tradition have both had major impacts at both nurseries. To put a stamp on similarities; both O'Donal's and McSherry's were featured in the now defunct People, Places and Plants magazine.

There will be visible changes made to the nursery property providing the Conway Planning Board is amenable, but most of the projected site changes will bring back the visibility from years ago; before the evergeen grove grew too large in the front of the property. There will be additions to inventory that will be pleasantly received; and it is hoped that McSherry's Nursery has a bright future providing plants, advice, tools and other related products for years to come.

Watch for announcements for a Grand Reopening in the Spring of 2020; and let us know how McSherry's Nursery can help you and your neighbors grow into the future.
