Our First Home
Red Onion's flagship location is a reimagining of an old building on a nine-acre property owned by Ralph Helms, founder of Gulf Coast Plantsman. While the tucked-away location meant a slower start for the business, Brenda knew it was a place worth investing in.
The property is surrounded by lush gardens, mature trees, and wildlife—including rabbits and birds—roaming freely throughout the grounds. Nestled beside Red Onion is Ralph's 30-year-old greenhouse, where he offers an eclectic collection of unique and unusual plants alongside Red Onion's expertly chosen selection.
With Ralph's wealth of botanical knowledge and passion for the extraordinary, and Brenda's eye for design and timeless style, the two have created a destination unlike any other. Together, they've cultivated a place where nature, inspiration, and beautiful living come together in perfect harmony.
