Newport Flowers to Close After 100 Years of Family Farming

The Newport family plans to close their Wilson Avenue nursery around September after 100 years in business. Jean and Jerry Newport, both 70, intend to sell part of the front yard and tear down the greenhouse as they retire to spend time with family. The business began as a truck farm founded by Jerry's grandfather David Grant Newport, shifted to flowers, and once housed 36,000 rose bushes before pressures from cheaper produce pushed diversification.
