Twenty-six years ago Camilo and Teresa Guevara left their beloved homeland of El Salvador to bring their nine children to the United States. Integrating into a foreign culture would prove to be a difficult task, but Mami Tere and Papi Camilo believed in the American Dream. Days after arriving to the United States, both Teresa and Camilo began working at Everglades Nursery thus beginning their passion for plants. And it was these early years in the US that really shaped our family values. Hard work and integrity, our father always said, is the key to achieving all of our dreams. Sixteen years and sixteen grandchildren later, our parents were finally able to start their own business. Teresa and Camilo had achieved their dreams. Evergrace Incorporated began on two and a half acres with one greenhouse. Our parents were growing 30,000 orchids. Today, Evergrace operates on five acres of land and produces over 300,000 Dendrobiums per year thanks to mom’s continuous dedication and passion. Camilo Guevara passed away in 2005, but he left behind a vision Evergrace holds dearly: a vision of honesty and love of plants and people. This humble company continues to strive for what’s most important, passion for the land and passion for plants. --Maria T. Golburgh, Daughter and Co-owner |
