“A look back at the early years at Rudy and Son’s Greenhouses.”
Rudy’s sons, Jerry Wuthrich and John Wuthrich, became the owners and operators for the next few decades. Jerry Wuthrich still makes a daily trip to the greenhouses to oversee the process that is now run by his two sons, Justin and Kevin Wuthrich. Five generations have been a part of helping out in the family business. This business became known in the city of Logan and surrounding areas for being an upstanding business with quality product. Rudy and Son's Greenhouses was a business where a man's word and reputation were of top priority. The greenhouse business still runs as a mostly wholesale operation serving businesses such as grocery stores, garden centers and other retail outlets in many of the Western United States, mainly Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada.

The general public is also welcome to come and shop in their more than 40 greenhouses. There they will find the likes of "reminiscent" geraniums in many varieties, dozens of types of petunias, marigolds, etc. and one of the largest selection of Proven Winner plants around. They also offer a bounty of vegetable plants, all seeded and then transplanted by hand. Farmers call in special orders to fit their needs and can plan on exceptional starts for their crops. The perennials and ornamental grasses never disappoint. They grow in popularity and variety each year. Buying straight from the greenhouse and taking the plants home to the customer's garden is what has made Rudy and Son's Greenhouses a tradition for many shoppers.

The staff at Rudy and Son's Greenhouse hand plant hundreds of hanging baskets. Most are delivered in the weeks leading up to Mother's Day. The well thought out combinations and careful pruning makes their hanging baskets full and vibrant showstoppers. They will also make customized planters and containers of all shapes and sizes for the customer who wants something unique.
When August rolls around, Justin and Kevin Wuthrich set their sights on the Holiday season. Poinsettias are planted individually by their hard working employees. Rudy and Son's Greenhouses change over the greenhouse interiors to grow over 60,000 of these beauties.
One unique aspect of their business is that they support local school groups, sports teams, and church groups by offering fundraising opportunities as these groups go out and sell poinsettias around Christmas time and hanging baskets for Mother's Day.
With a hybrid of the "old ways" and new technology, they use their years of experience to yield the best results with all of their plants. Working in partnership with Premier Tech Horticulture and using growing media such as PRO-MIX® HP BIOFUNGICIDE™* + MYCORRHIZAE™ has helped keep the business "growing" strong. They have noticed that using PRO-MIX® HP BIOFUNGICIDE™* + MYCORRHIZAE™ has helped improved plant growth and there is no longer any need to drench for root disease. Premier Tech Horticulture is always willing to provide Rudy’s with the best possible support and innovative products that help in their success.
