Spring workshops: For the past 50 years, Milaeger's has dedicated its efforts to enriching your home and garden

In A little 8' by 12' hobby greenhouse in the backyard of Dan and Joan Milaeger was the seed that grew into the Milaeger's of today.

Ten years later, the couple offered their first crop of annuals from a 30' by 90' greenhouse at the newly purchased Douglas Avenue site.

Their creativity, energy and spirit of willingness to do whatever was right for the customer propelled the business into continued expansion. Today, the company has over 90 greenhouses, all open to any gardener who seeks the pure enjoyment of viewing a crop of color in its growing environment. Thousands of specialty annuals, bedding plants, vegetables, perennials and pot crops such as poinsettias are carefully nurtured, offering the consumer the widest array of plant material in the Midwest.
