It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing  of Allan Redfern, a best friend and business partner.

Together in 1999, we started Morningstar Nurseries on Shannock Hill Road. We worked long hours to establish the nursery. Those were difficult days.  With our passion for work and professional achievement, we also shared lots of laughter and camaraderie. We persevered and began selling our hydrangeas to garden centers throughout New England and earned a reputation for growing quality plants.  We strive to maintain that standard today.

Morningstar would not exist today without the partnership I shared with Allan. Owning a wholesale nursery was more of my dream than Allan’s, but his hard work and dedication made the business a reality and a success.

Allan was an all-around good guy.  He was smart, inquisitive, kind and always willing to help others. He loved talking with people one-on-one and learning about them and their lives.  Allan was always interested and treasured the connections he made.

Though he is no longer with us, his spirit will remain a part of everything we do.

He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
