OUR STORY
In 1957, Dutch immigrants Gerard and Corry DeRee built a small 4’x8′ Dutch bulb stand on South Seneca in Wichita, KS. They were committed to bringing a little part of their homeland to the neighborhoods of Wichita, and soon demand for their quality products began to grow.
Gerard, who most knew as “Dutch,” along with his family, began expanding the business and over the years it has grown into a thriving garden center that is well-known throughout South-Central Kansas for it’s locally grown, quality plants. In 2002, Frank and Jerry DeRee took over the family business and have proudly upheld the same principles Dutch and Corry used when they started the business – strong customer service, honesty, quality plants, and attention to detail.
