Decades of Quality

Dutch immigrant, Peter Scharringa (June 22, 1933 - August 18, 2017) founded Scharringa Greenhouses in 1962, initially growing vegetables. Over time, he transitioned to growing flowers, which remains the core passion of the business today.

  • While we’re passionate about plants, our commitment extends far beyond the products we provide. We believe that true sustainability is rooted in action, which is why we go the extra mile with every decision. From implementing industry-led recycling programs to promoting responsible water management, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment.
  • One of the ways we prioritize sustainability is through responsible pest management practices. We are proud to say that we do not use neonicotinoids in our facility, ensuring that we are not contributing to the decline of pollinators like bees. Every step we take is part of our ongoing mission to protect the planet while continuing to offer beautiful, healthy plants. A Partnership You Can Count On
