Family owned since 1938, we are full service nursery, located in Burbank, California. How it all began. . . Sheridan Gardens Nursery officially opened for business in 1952, but it's origins begin earlier, in 1938, when Grandpa "Pop" Waldron opened FT Waldron Nursery on Allen Road in Glendale. During those years, "Pop" would run the nursery with help from his wife Elsie, and their boys, Leon, Darrell, Lloyd, and Richard. The nursery thrived, and as the boys grew to manhood, "Pop" had expanded the business to include a piece of property in Sun Valley, which he used to propagate and grow plant materials for his retail store. Pictured below is FT Waldron Nursery in Sun Valley in 1952 (the little girl on the left is Carroll Ropp, sister and current office manager). In the meantime, his son Leon was doing well, working as a landscape contractor and raising four children of his own in Glendale, CA, in a little house on a street called Sheridan Road. It was in the backyard of this house that he began propagating and growing plants of his own in a small area of his yard which he affectionately called "Sheridan Gardens." So, it is no mystery then that in 1952, when "Pop" decided to sell off his nursery in Sun Valley after two rather destructive flood years (flood pictured below - plants were actually found floating down the street!), that Leon purchased the nursery and officially re-named the new establishment "Sheridan Gardens."
