Suzanne and Jack moved to this area in 1979 from the East Coast and started the business Ozark Exotica. Suzanne was a trained Master Gardener and produced organically grown vegetables, fresh culinary herbs, and flower bedding plants that were sold at farmer markets in Ava and Gainesville. All who bought Ozark Exotica plants were amazed at the love and strength she was able to instill in them. Her engaging eyes, bright smile and fun loving personality endeared her to all. She was a talented seamstress and an intense humanist.
