Picture Perfect Landscape opened in the middle 1990’s and served as a nursery for exotic and unusual plants. The grounds were set up throughout the forest behind the main office. Trails were cut through the thick brush and in the clearings plants were grown. I remember when I was younger going here with my father to pick out trees for our home. It was always fun as a kid going to places like this because of the forest out back. Plus, who doesn’t like wooded environments with exotic plants?

No longer there. Was torn down to build the new Mercy Hospital off of I-35 frontage road.
Was wondering if you guys know the reasons why many of these places are abandoned? A lot of the places i have seen on your website look as though the former tennants just up and left without as much as packing.
The biggest reason I have seen is divorces, deaths, court battles etc. But I am one that loves to recycle or resale things people can use and save them lots of money plus make a little myself and I just like things from the simpler times. But I have never understood just leaving stuff that you could move or let someone else have it and not letting it rot. My husband has a cousin in southern Arkansas, there was an old abandoned house next to their property. I asked them about it and they said it had been abandoned for years since the owner died and that they had never seen anybody ever go in there and they hadn't themselves.. Well the doors were open (just about rotted down) and I had to go look, I took several homemade old quilts still neatly folded, a trunk that was old with more linens. And a few more small knickknacks. The place was full of cobwebs, bugs and varmints. There were lots of Walmart sacks with stuff in them never used with old price tags on them still! I took what I was brave enough to get out of there without stirring something up alive. We told his cousin, she said "Well, don't go back in there cause one of his relatives might come by and see you-(HA!) We went home to Oklahoma-i heard the next month the local fire department burned the place to the ground for practice. It still had old antique furniture etc. Just crazy what people do! But every time I look at the old handmade quilts I got and think of all the work, love and care that went into them I know I did the right thing, and would have done more if I could have. My husband's cousins said none of the family ever showed up again before the fire department burned the place down to the ground! Human's are such wasteful creatures!
what is the physical address on this place I think I'd like to buy it.
i worked here back in the summer of 96′ tending the bamboo fields i remember ticks being horrible around the area due to the owners not wanting to use very many pesticides if i recall correctly i think it closed down in 2004 cool to see it years later neat jobs guys look forward to seeing more
J,
Is there anymore information you could provide? Such a cool place!
