Old But Always New
Spring has arrived and once again we're getting ready for the next few busy weeks ahead. Henning has the greenhouses filled to bursting with colorful annuals, lush hanging baskets, perennials, herbs and rosebushes. At Forth Floral we've always grown our own garden plants right here in our greenhouses.
Starting with my Great-Grandpa, Peter Philipp, who was trained as a gardener in Luxembourg, and continuing with my Grandparents, Art and Julia Forth, my parents, Marv and Leona Schumacher, and now Henning and myself, Forth Floral has been growing plants for the spring season for 110 years.
Henning grows successive crops of annuals and vegetables so that even into June our customers have a great selection of fresh, hardy bedding plants to choose from.
Today, our business has grown with Rhinelander and we have 30,000 square feet of greenhouse between our original Brown Street location and our production greenhouse on North Hanson Lake Road. We always strive to look for new and unique plants and flowers as well as giftware to offer in our store. In addition to the fresh cut flowers we grow, we import cut flowers on almost a daily basis.
Most of our employees have been with us for many years giving our customers the advantage of their knowledge and talent.
Spring is a hectic time of year for us, but we always look forward to seeing our gardening customers every year. It's almost like welcoming back family. Please let us know how your garden grows. We love to hear from you. It helps us to bring you the highest quality plants, best suited to our climate here in Northern Wisconsin. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the days are getting longer....
Happy Spring!
