Ohlman Farm and Greenhouse, Inc. is a 5th generation
family business engaged in wholesale floricultural
production. Upon the passing of Lawrence "Bud" Ohlman
Sr. in August 1999, the torch has been recently passed
to his eldest son Larry Ohlman Jr.
Currently,
the Ohlman firm is a major supplier of annual bedding
plants to mass market chain stores throughout the
Ohio area. The Ohlmans continuously have their eyes
fixed on increasing production, improving quality
and efficiency as evidenced by their investments in
mechanical transplanting, co-generation of electricity,
and 24 hour high sodium lighting of 30,000 square
feet of plug production for blooming light of annuals
and perennials.
In
the fall of 2001, in an attempt to diversify the core
business, plans were developed for the formation of
a large-scale orchid propagation. In the Spring of
2002 we unveiled "Orchids by Ohlman", our answer to
the public's increasing demand for an affordable,
elegant, year round, easy to care for product which
could be distributed throughout the Midwestern United
States. Our Easy Care Phalaenopsis Orchid products
were specifically chosen due to their outstanding
performance and resilience virtually any home environment.
According to the USDA's 2002 Floriculture Crop Summary
Report, orchids now rank as the fastest growing floral
crop worldwide. These unique Phalaenopsis varieties
are among the easiest and most rewarding orchids to
grow. Generally classified as decorative houseplants,
Easy Care Orchids adapt well in both home and office
environments. Each elegant Phalaenopsis bloom can
last up to 3 months, providing long lasting beauty
with minimal care.
Our
philosophy lies in placing people first and educating
plant lovers to the numerous benefits of growing orchids.
Over the past few years we here at Orchids by Ohlman
have truly developed a love for these outstanding
gifts of nature. We hope to spread this appreciation
to all and continue to educate the American public
about the great world of orchids.
