Begun in 1959 as a part-time hobby by Ray and Joyce Stockslager, Stockslager’s Greenhouse and Garden Center in New Lebanon, Ohio, has grown from one small glass greenhouse to nearly six acres under cover. Now into its third generation, the family oversees the production in this year-round growing facility, sharing their experience  and expertise with retail and wholesale customers alike. In those early years, Stockslager’s was only open during the spring. During the day Joyce would plant and take care of the daily jobs. Ray worked for Ohio Bell Telephone, so in the evening orders were pulled with help from his wife and children. Deliveries were made the following morning on Ray’s way to work to customers such as Xenia Avenue Feed, Gentile Produce, and Penske Produce. Slowly, greenhouses were added as demand for their quality plants increased.

  

 

It was in 1978, when Ray retired from Ohio Bell, that he and his wife decided to make the business a full-time enterprise. Soon, sons Duke and Scott and daughter-in-law Barb joined the business, and in 2006, grandson Jacob. Thanks to the hard work of family members and valued employees over the years, Stockslager’s continues to take pride in reaching its number one goal:

“Growing Quality Plants at Affordable Prices”

More than anything, this family business desires that your gardening experience be a success. Come in and see what Stockslager’s can do for you!
