## Resource

After 55 years, Willow Gardens Nursery in northeast Fresno is closing its doors — a beloved family-run green oasis that’s been a community cornerstone since 1974. Founded by John and Nancy DePrima, the nursery has shaped generations of gardeners and neighbors, with Danielle DePrima now carrying on the legacy after her father’s accident and her mother’s passing. As its land lease expires, the nursery will stay open through Christmas offering discounts, marking the end of an era for a place that’s been more than just a plant shop — it’s been a living, breathing part of the neighborhood’s soul.
