Located in the fertile Niagara Region of Ontario, our modern expansive, growing and shipping facilities provide our clients with exceptional products, service and delivery across Eastern USA and Canada.

The reputation of a region is attributed to the people and industry that contribute to it. Rich in history, the Niagara region contains some of the most successful & recognized wine and floral businesses worldwide.

Schenck Farms and Greenhouses Co. has consistently remained a key contributor to the floral industry and St.Catharines since Louis Schenck established it in1891. Louis began growing and packaging fruits & vegetables earning the status from his unique labeling: “…equaled by few and surpassed by none”. In the late 1920’s, the farm gradually shifted away from vegetable production to developing exceptional floral products.

This repute has carried over to their sister company Great Lakes Floral, established in October 2003, whose primary focus is growing, packing and shipping high quality potted plants to retailers across North America. The first greenhouses were erected in 1920, replacing several hothouses. Today, the site is populated with an impressive cluster of greenhouses. It holds 410,000 square feet of greenhouse space growing, Begonias, Kalanchoes, Geranium cuttings and a variety of floral products.

Great Lakes Floral remains a family business, passed down from a generation of pride & experience.
