Moore & Moore
STOP 3
Nashvillians have been shopping with three
generations of the Moore family – since John
and Nell Moore and their son, Paul, first
opened for business in 1980. Selling mainly
color and bedding plants, they soon expanded
to a full-service garden center offering a
complete range of flowers, shrubs and trees,
along with all the necessary supplies.
During its 18 years of business in Belle
Meade, the store became a neighborhood
fixture. In 1998, Paul moved the company to
larger facilities just down the road in Bellevue.
Today Moore & Moore is owned by Duncan
Borders, John and Nell’s grandson. Duncan purchased
the store in 2006, and quickly added a 5,000 square foot
greenhouse to make year-round indoor shopping possi-
ble. He brought in an extensive line of garden gifts and
home décor and made the store a major destination for
plants, pottery, garden gifts, home decor, and seasonal
decorations. When Duncan first purchased the business,
he subcontracted the landscaping services to a different
company. He supplied the plants and the subcontractor
provided the labor. Today, they have a full service, in-
house landscape department. The business is 60% retail
and 40% landscape.
Moore & Moore is recognized for “Cultivating Lifestyles”
through their inspiring displays and creative use of space.
With a wide a range of affordable, onsite services,
including container planting, advice about what to plant,
pest or disease assessment, advice on proper pruning,
and accurate information on any gardening questions,
they also make house calls!
IT’S TIME to explore Moore & Moore!
