About Us

Salli and Marty Greene are passionate about gardening. One could say they are “garden aficionados,” for they are people who see and use their gardens as an extension of their homes, for entertaining and relaxing. Now, this brother and sister team is melding their knowledge and enthusiasm for gardening with the opening of Velvet Greene Garden Center in Brimfield.

“Gardening is in our blood. Our parents had a beautiful yard. Their home had vegetable gardens, several flowers gardens, all of which they were very proud. Working in the garden was a family affair. That’s why Marty and I are passionate about gardening.” Salli and Marty are excited about being in business together. “We have a harmonious relationship and a strong work ethic, fostered by our parents,” said Marty. “For Salli and I to work together doing something we both love is an opportunity of a lifetime.”
