Travel on Morgan Drive in Vestavia Hills often enough and Andy’s Creekside Nursery starts to feel like a landmark — something that has always been there, something that will always be there. In a sense, that’s true. Andy Burris opened on this same stretch of road in 1997, starting with a small fruit market and a belief that the people of Vestavia Hills would show up for something genuine. Nearly 30 years later, they still do.
What was once a modest fruit stand has grown into one of the Birmingham area’s most complete garden destinations. Andy’s today operates as a full-service nursery, landscape design and installation company, farm market, gem mine and rock shop — all on the same property, all under the same family name.
