Book Signing, Pete Pike




Pete Pike, founder of Pike Family Nurseries, had a dream over 50
years ago.  He wanted to make Atlanta beautiful. Through hard work,
honesty and integrity, Pike built the largest independently owned nursery chain
in the country.  With his wife at his side and 4 children to care for, and
a budding business, Pike suffered harsh losses with the economy and
weather.  He never gave up even in the face of seemingly utter defeat.



Read the story of his life from birth on the farm, to life in the Navy, to
selling the largest nursery chain in the country in Pete Pike's fun, humble
speak.



For just $14.99 you can take a little piece of Atlanta history with you.
