Facilities

Nursery Facility: This well-established nursery operation specializes in the cultivation of potted plants, strategically positioned to serve a thriving regional market. Approximately 90% of the business is dedicated to wholesale, supplying area retailers, developers, and landscapers. The remaining 10% of revenue is derived from direct retail sales to the public. The facility’s location offers excellent access to both local and regional clientele in the landscaping and retail sectors, supporting robust and diverse revenue streams.

Competition

Operating in a fragmented yet competitive market, this established nursery specializes in high-quality plants and trees, featuring both patented and non-patented varieties. Strategic certifications with industry-leading brands and strong relationships with landscapers, garden centers, and re-wholesale nurseries provide a competitive edge. Opportunities include scaling new propagation capabilities to reduce costs, expanding into untapped markets, and leveraging demand from key customer segments.

Growth & Expansion

The plant and flower growing industry is set for robust growth, driven by rising demand for landscaping and ornamental plants as consumers prioritize enhancing outdoor spaces and sustainable gardening. A decline in import competition is stabilizing pricing, benefiting domestic producers. Industry trends favor high-quality, locally grown, branded, and native plants, reflecting shifts toward sustainability. Operators are leveraging automation and advanced greenhouse technologies to address labor shortages and improve margins.
