About Us

Started in 1995, Garden Goods was created with a vision to serve the northern Michigan market with knowledge, experience and expertise. In 2021 Garden Goods was acquired by Elise and Cory Holman. We believe gardening is an information-driven business. We pride ourselves on possessing extensive plant based backgrounds, certified nurseryman designations and attending classes or seeking the most current information. Gardening evolves, and at Garden Goods we promise to stay appraised of the most up-to-date practices and techniques and always be the leader in the market.

Hannah Geiger

Leadership Team Manager

Hannah was born in Traverse City, M.I., and graduated from Kingsley High School. Her life-long passion for nature and wildlife paved her into the plantsman she is today. She started working at Garden Goods in 2022, specializing in tropical plants, creative design, and is a key member of our leadership team. She is an avid plant collector, so much so, her home is just as plant filled as Garden Goods! She enjoys learning new things every day and collaborating with her friends.

Mike King

Michigan Master Gardener

Mike holds the record for being the longest (and oldest) member of the Garden Goods team. His tenure started in 1997 and you will recognize Mike as the snappy guy in the nursery yard with the pith helmet. When he is not sharing his plant wisdom with Garden Goods customers, Mike can be found riding along the bay front pulled by his eight Siberian Huskies. In the winter, Mike and his wife, Lee, put the dogs to work providing dog sled rides at Shanty Creek Resorts.
