US (IL): Sauk Valley petunia greenhouse under new management

You can’t have Petunia Fest without petunias, and you can’t have petunias without Nichols Greenhouse.

As the city celebrates all things Petunia this week, people will be pouring into Dixon to take in the sights and sounds that the Petunia City has to offer during its annual celebration – and some might just wonder where all the city’s signature flowers come from. After all, there’s nearly 300 pots just hanging around the city. That’s a lot of petunias.

So, when the city needs some flower power, they turn to the longtime business with a penchant for petunias – but this year, there was a new owner at the helm, making sure the city got the best bang for its blooming buck.

After 43 years in business the greenhouse has a new boss – but you might not notice at first. That’s because the previous owners are still around.
