Our Story

A family owned and operated business, Young’s Plant Farm has been aggressively growing since 1961 when founded by Gene Young. Still a family run company, Young’s has grown its greenhouse space from 1,512 square feet in 1961 to more than 1.5 million square feet today. In addition to greenhouses, there are another thirty five-acres of meticulously groomed outside growing space.

The success of our company requires dedication from the second, and now the third generation, who have all grown up in the business and developed independent strengths for the industry. Our focus remains on growing the best plants in order to deliver top quality product. We have a commitment to mechanization, innovation and cleanliness. And finally, Young’s Plant Farm aggressively and responsibly pursues the growth required to keep up with our customer demand. Our wholesale business targets large retail stores, as well as independent garden centers and landscapers. Today, our corporate office and original farm are still located in Auburn, Alabama. We also operate two other farms, one in Alabama and the other in the mountains of North Carolina.
