There is a continual process of additions and remodels to the business. We have added 6 houses with a total of 14,000 square feet.
           
Recently, we recovered our main retail house with new polycarbonate cover for a cooler retail shopping experience. Then this past fall, we added a new retail entrance and new pergola for more retail display. A few years back we replaced loading & storage building with new and much larger one and added additional production space.

 

There are 15 greenhouses, with a total of over 50,000 square feet (1+  acres)  under cover.

 

We produce annually:
7900    Flats of annuals
50,000 Potted annuals and herbs
9,000   Potted perennials
4,400   Hanging Baskets
5,600   Poinsettias
3,200   Lilies, Tulips and other bulb plants

There are other plants grown including hydrangeas, orchids, foliage plants and water plants.

 

We are constant adapting to the market.  In the beginning we focused heavily on wholesale.  We are now moving our focus to retail. We erect spring satellite sales houses in Cloquet, Superior, Duluth, Virginia and Pike Lake.  We employ over 60 employees during the spring sales. 

 

We offer seminars and classes in the spring in conjunction with Carlton Community Ed.  Come join us for the fun.
