About Mark Gibson, Green Thumb Garden Center

Website: https://www.facebook.com/greenthumbwatergardens/

Mark Gibson is a lifelong horticulturalist. After he realized that chopping cotton was not the life he wanted, he went to college and received a degree in computer science. He has been active in the retail garden space since 1974, when his family purchased a small garden center with the Green Thumb moniker. In 1995, he started a retail division devoted to ponds, fish and water plants. He is an enthusiastic gardener who, along with his sister, owns and operates Arkansas’ only exclusive water garden center. They have a combined 80 years of retail, horticultural and aquatic experience.
