Over 40 years ago a couple of guys named Tony and Rocky knew there was a better way to serve nursery growers — through good old-fashioned service. In the early days, it was tree boxes, stakes, and trellises. Today we offer a broad array of plastic and wood growing containers for indoor and outdoor nursery applications. In addition, we stock and sell shade cloth, weed barriers, trays, flats, poly film and shipping racks. Yet one thing has not changed over the years and that is our commitment to service.
From the time the order is placed to the follow up after delivery, we want your experience with T&R to be professional and profitable.
At T&R, service is our most valuable product. Personal and knowledgeable attention is the most important aspect of a long-term customer relationship.

Feeding San Diego is a non-profit organization on a mission to connect every person facing hunger with nutritious meals by maximizing food rescue. Established in 2007, Feeding San Diego rescues surplus food from local and national food donors before it goes to waste and gets it to people facing hunger in San Diego County. It is the only Feeding America partner food bank in the region. Each year, the hunger-relief organization provides more than 35.4 million meals to children, families, seniors, college students, military families, and veterans in partnership with a network of nearly 350 local charities, schools, colleges, faith communities, healthcare providers, and meal sites. It operates nine distinct programs countywide that support people facing hunger with food assistance or resources. More than 76 percent of the food distributed by Feeding San Diego is rescued, allowing high-quality food to be redirected instead of going to waste. By diverting more than 31 million pounds of food from the landfill, Feeding San Diego protects people and the planet. Every $1 donated helps provide two meals to people facing hunger.
