When the 2019 tornado destroyed all of the buildings at North Haven Gardens, it gave tthe staff the chance to re-imagine the 70-year-old nursery.
General Manager Cody Hoya said that when the tornado hit northwest Dallas two years ago, trees were overturned, and greenhouses were bent. But underneath the rubble.
