Johnson Brother’s Greenhouses Announces New Family Ownership
Family owned nursery plans for future generations, new initiatives.
EUGENE, ORE.—(5/4/15) Johnson Brother’s Greenhouses, Eugene’s largest grower/retail nursery, announced today that Caleb Johnson and Katie Johnson will acquire the company from Vern and Gail Johnson.
Under the new ownership, they plan to expand their offerings to help their customers create outdoor spaces that bring family, friends and neighbors together – from relaxing yards you can hang out in to edible landscapes, along with more events and classes to help the next generation explore the exciting possibilities of gardening.
“We are passionate about providing our customers with the best selection, variety and prices on plants and growing our involvement in the community,” said Caleb Johnson. “We are excited about keeping the business in the family for the second generation.”
Katie and Caleb joined the Johnson Brother’s team in 2013 when they launched several new offerings and classes including the Seedlings Garden Club for Kids. They plan to continue these programs and expand to offering school field trips and other free educational programs for customers. Both graduates of University of Oregon Lundquist College of Business, Katie and Caleb are looking forward to partnering with university students to create internships for marketing, advertising and management.
