November December 1 About Walters Gardens, Inc. Established 1946 We have over 70 years of experience growing perennials, but it all started with the small flower business founded by Dena and John Knoll. Dennis Walters helped set the foundation for our company when he married their daughter, Harriet Knoll, and eventually took over the business in 1946. The original farm was 5 acres; everything was grown from seed, bare root, and hand dug. Bare Root Field Production Through the years it is our Bare Root Production Devoted Greenhouses which has kept us unique in the industry. Thanks For us, it’s not just about offering the best plants to our location along Lake Michigan, we enjoy on the market, but offering the best value as well. sandy, well drained soil that helps our roots grow That vision starts with dedicated employees, the bigger faster. We’ve been growing high quality best growers in the business, and a diligent plant bare root product from the very beginning and health staff. that still rings true today. Our reputation is only as good as our product. You can be confident in our product because our goal is to provide you with nothing but the best of everything you order. Today, 2017 That 5-acre farm has grown to 1,500 acres and we’re in the process of expanding our 500,000 square feet of greenhouses. Walters Gardens is still family owned and run. We haven’t lost sight of our (bare) roots or the values that made this company what it is. Our commitments to high quality plants and genetics have led to an expansive collection of Walters Gardens introduced varieties and a close relationship with the Proven Winners® brand. All our success can be attributed to the employees who have spent countless years working and contributing to Walters Gardens. 2 Phone: 888-925-8377 • Fax: 800-752-1879 • E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.WaltersGardens.com New Plant Development From Proven Genetics Comes Proven Performance Crossing Hellebores in the Pollination Station Breeder Profile Our customers look to us for our exceptional genetics which Hans Hansen have proven themselves over the years, from our distinctive hostas to our fabulous hardy Hibiscus and many others.

We are working to ensure that all of our VIP designated crops are virus indexed regularly for the most common viruses as well as any crops that show symptoms of a virus.

Our goal is to catch problems at the earliest stage possible and to target the treatment to the specific crop before it spreads to other plants. When treatment is needed, we use beneficial insects or reduced risk pesticides which target specific pests rather than using broad spectrum chemicals. 8 Phone: 888-925-8377 • Fax: 800-752-1879 • E-mail: [email protected] • Website: www.WaltersGardens.com
