Young, innovative, edgy, and creative combined with determination, experience, knowledge, and love of horticulture.

Canopy Gardens was developed by two young men with a passion and connection to the outdoors.  Nicholas Irwin and Mercer Gunnels have each received a Bachelors degree of Science in Horticulture with an emphasis in landscape design from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. 

Ultimately, the business has drawn like minded individuals with similar passions and interests.  From the massing of a single species to create a flowing ambience of plant material, to a stacked random pattern natural stone wall, our team works efficiently and effectively.
