BUY LOCAL PLANTS VISSER GREENHOUSE “My folks started in the greenhouse business in 1970, and I was born in ’68, so I’ve grown up in the greenhouse my whole life. We’ve done everything from nursery stock and sod farming to flowers—there’s been a few different incarnations of the greenhouse business, but we’ve been in our current location since 1984. Our specialty is variety—our catalog has around 1,800 different variety of plants. It can be a nightmare when working on inventory, but we jump through the hoops so we can provide this larger variety to our customers. As companies get bigger, typically their catalogs get smaller—we found our niche is in our larger catalog and variety—and we’re known for it. We also get products not typically available to the public—right now we have plant materials in-stock that won’t be available until 2016 in our greenhouse on a trial basis. Our company likes to stay ahead of the curve. Visser Greenhouse is a family run, Montana operation built with Montana labor. We appreciate all the support we get from our communities and customers.” 11
