Fifty years, 1974–2024
Kalispell, Montana · 15.19 acres · 67,440 SF under glass

A fifty-year living asset,
given a new operating system.

For half a century, Hooper's Garden Center grew the Flathead Valley's flowers. Evergreen Foundry acquires that legacy — sixteen greenhouses, a beloved destination, a working horticultural campus — and reactivates it as a regenerative living center that pays investors while it heals the land.

The History

From a cold garage in 1973
to a Montana institution.

1973
The original garden center

Two suitcases and a frozen toilet

Bob and Cheri Hooper left Florida for the Flathead Valley in the winter of 1973 and bought Pierce Nursery on Montana Highway 35. The first home was a 20-by-40 converted garage with no heat — "the toilet froze solid and you slept in a sleeping bag to keep from freezing." They started selling flowers to the wives of farmers and ranchers.

1999
The rebuilt garden center on 15 acres

The campus the valley knows

As demand grew, the Hoopers moved two miles up the road to 15 acres on MT Highway 35. In six months they built the garden center, the first greenhouses, and planted a tree yard — reopening in March 1999. Over the years it expanded to sixteen production greenhouses, five retail houses, a garden shop, and a boutique.

Method
Cold-grown geraniums

"Cold growing" — built for Montana

Bob's signature method started plants at 48°F, used no automated watering, and hardened seedlings to the cold before they ever left the bench. Gardeners drove from across Montana and neighboring states because Hooper's plants were grown for the climate they'd live in. The horticultural knowledge is in the soil, the structures, and the reputation.

2024
The garden center, fifty years on

Fifty years — and a turning of the page

After roughly five decades, the Hooper family sold the business to new ownership. That later ownership entered Chapter 7, leaving something rare: a 15-acre horticultural campus with 67,440 SF under glass, currently listed at $2.995M and offered subject to bankruptcy-court approval. Not a startup — a proven destination waiting for its next chapter.

The Evergreen Foundry Thesis

We don't replace what Hooper's built.
We give it a regenerative operating system.

The greenhouses still grow. But now the campus also produces its own biostimulants, hosts events and education, anchors a community, and — in later phases — generates its own energy and welcomes overnight guests. Five revenue streams instead of one. A living system instead of a single crop. Life before profits — and profits that follow because the system is alive.

The Vision

What the land becomes.

Greenhouses reactivated, gardens restored, a living campus on fifteen acres — the regenerative center Evergreen Foundry is building, phase by phase.

Movement One · The Idea

Most development extracts potential.
Regenerative development builds it.

The old operating system
  • Take value out of a place
  • One use, one revenue line
  • Soil, water, community treated as cost
  • Value peaks at sale, then declines
The regenerative operating system
  • Add capacity back to the place
  • Five interlocking revenue streams
  • Soil, water, community as capital that compounds
  • Value grows because the system is alive

Evergreen Foundry is designed around five forms of capital — natural, human, social, built, and financial. Each phase is built to increase all five at once. The flowers were always the proof that this land creates life. We're simply widening what "yield" means.

Movement Two · The Build-Out

Three phases.
Each one earned by the last.

Click a phase to explore it. Phase I is the investable offering today. Phases II and III are illustrative concepts, each financed separately and unlocked only when the prior phase clears measurable readiness gates.

Reactivate & Stabilize

Acquire the 15-acre campus through the §363 sale. Reopen the greenhouses. Install the REGENiGROW biostimulant line and the first Node Zero energy loop. Stand up five revenue streams and stabilize them — paying Class P investors a 12% preferred yield and a 1.60× redemption at Year 5, funded by a refinance the model over-covers.

Short-Term Rentals + Spa

Once Phase I clears its readiness gates, add two destination-stay engines on land already owned: sixteen short-term rental units built four-per-quad over two years, and a 6,000 SF greenhouse converted into an eight-room spa. A separate equity vehicle — existing investors hold first-allocation rights.

Movement Three · The Systems Underneath

Four frameworks doing the quiet work.

01

REGENiGROW™ Closed Loop

Proprietary biostimulants produced on-site from the campus's own organic streams — turning what a normal nursery throws away into a branded product line and a soil-health engine. Margin and regeneration from the same loop.

02

Node Zero Biorefinery

A phased energy system: anaerobic digester → biogas CHP → algae loop → biochar. The digester's biogas powers the greenhouses and feeds CO₂ to an algae loop. Energy independence as a built-capital asset (Phase 2 buildout).

03

Five Capitals Accounting

Every decision is measured against natural, human, social, built, and financial capital — the PRT framework. Returns aren't just dollars; they're whole-place health that compounds and protects the financial return.

04

Readiness-Gated Phasing

No phase begins until the last one proves itself on hard numbers. Capital is never put at risk on a promise — only on demonstrated EBITDA, reserves, and coverage. Discipline as an investor protection.

The Growth Plan

Three phases.
One compounding asset.

Phase I proves the model and pays investors. Phase II adds short-term rentals and a spa. Phase III builds the Creative Commons. Phases II and III are illustrative concepts — separate raises, unlocked only when the prior phase clears measurable readiness gates.

Foundation:
reactivating a 50-year legacy.

The site is alive again — food year-round, waste turned to fertility, and a community that has a reason to gather.

Hooper's Garden Center fed and inspired the Flathead Valley for five decades, generating over $2.8M a year at its peak across sixteen greenhouses. When it closed, something real was lost. Phase I brings it back — not as nostalgia, but as a living system that produces food, builds knowledge, and regenerates the land it sits on.

The engine is five integrated revenue streams: greenhouse produce and retail, the REGENiGROW biorefinery, events and agri-tourism, education, and tenant rent. The REGENiGROW closed loop turns greenhouse waste into a biostimulant and biochar sold back to the same farms — an operating cost converted into an 83%-gross-margin revenue stream. Revenue compounds from $1.97M in a partial first year to $9.97M by FY30, with zero bank debt in any year.

Why this matters to a Phase I investor
Your 1.60× redemption is not contingent on Phase II or Phase III performing. Those phases are contingent on Phase I performing first. Phase I stands entirely on its own — five streams, a $5.76M asset base, and a refinance the base case over-covers by 2.19×.
