A Li'l Bit About Dean's Greenhouse

Dean's Greenhouse was established in 1924 and is one of the oldest, continually operational businesses in Westlake, Ohio. Sam Dean started as a local farmer and would take his produce into Cleveland via horse and wagon.  Soon, he began constructing greenhouses to extend his growing season.  Not long after this followed ventures into packaging companies, the retail greenhouse and the addition of a retail flower shop.

Fast Forward - 2009
Providing locally grown plants and flowers, Dean's helps cut down on fuel consumption and emissions by eliminating the need to truck in a majority of our plants and flowers.  Dean's also reuses and recycles whenever possible including taking back plastic flats and pots to either be used again for new plants or to be recycled, keeping them out of the landfills. Dean's Fall Return-a-Fern program offers $10 gift certificates for healthy Boston ferns returned to Dean's which are cared for  and resold in the Spring which promotes conscientious gardening and reduces the energy required to grow new ferns from scratch.
