The origins of Black Creek began with the marriage of Harvey and Irene Zimmerman over 30 years ago, when Irene asked Harvey to build a hot bed for seeding plants. Harvey did one better and built Irene a little green house…this small beginning sparked their interest in gardening and was the start of what has become a 90,000 foot green house complex that employs a staff of almost 30 dedicated workers…and even more during planting time.
