Our Story

Wickman's Garden Village is a family-owned and operated Springfield landmark with roots dating back to 1922. Chris and Amber Kristek, who have owned the business since 2013, bring deep local horticultural expertise—Chris holds a degree in Horticulture from MSU, and Amber has a degree in Agricultural Business. They grew up in the business, which their parents purchased from the original Wickman family in 1972. This century of experience means they understand the specific challenges of gardening in the Ozarks, from soil composition to seasonal weather. More than just a nursery, Wickman's is a full-service garden village offering landscape design, construction, maintenance, and a renowned flower shop, all grown from a commitment to helping the Springfield community cultivate beautiful, lasting outdoor spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a Springfield homeowner dealing with patchy grass and compacted soil, what solutions do you offer?

We commonly see these issues in local lawns. Our approach starts with a soil analysis to understand compaction and nutrient levels. For patchy grass, we offer expert lawn care, overseeding with region-appropriate grasses, and core aeration services to relieve compaction and improve root health. For more challenging areas, our landscape design team can integrate durable hardscaping or native ground covers that thrive in our local conditions, creating a resilient and attractive yard.

Can you handle both the design and construction of a full backyard project, including features like a patio and retaining walls?

Absolutely. As a full-service garden village, we provide start-to-finish service. Our in-house landscape designers will create a custom plan for your Springfield home. Then, our experienced construction team handles the installation, whether it's a natural stone patio, a functional retaining wall for a sloped yard, irrigation systems, or the plantings themselves. This integrated process ensures your vision is executed seamlessly and built to last.

Do you grow the plants you sell, and what kind of ongoing care do you provide for landscaping?

Yes, a core part of our heritage since 1922 is growing many of our plants on-site, so you can talk directly to the growers. For ongoing care, we offer comprehensive landscape maintenance, including shrub pruning, disease and insect management, seasonal clean-ups, and irrigation system repair. We also provide specific tree and shrub care services, from planting and transplanting to removal, ensuring your investment continues to thrive for years.
