We hope to continue earning our reputation in the community as the "plant candy store!" We appreciate all our customers and look forward to serving you for many more years to come.
Early in the 1970s, Sokolowski's founder, Bernard P. Sokolowski, and his wife, Benita, purchased a farmhouse and a plot of land with an old barn and a few dilapidated greenhouses. This is where Bernard first began growing and eventually selling vegetable plants. The demand for his vegetable plants and soon-to-follow flowers continued to grow, so Bernard kept up with the demand by continuing to expand. Sokolowski's now boasts 19 very full greenhouses (and growing)!
​
Bernard’s main focus was on growing annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetable plants. He believed in growing one hundred percent of what he sold. He refused to buy from wholesalers to resell because he wanted to give his customers the highest quality and variety of plants at a reasonable cost.
The business continued to grow and by the late 1990’s, he was retailing and wholesaling his own plants. It was at this time that his son, Gregory, also began working with the growing and production at the greenhouses. Gregory studied horticulture at SUNY Cobleskill but believes he learned the most from his father, and that becoming a successful grower happens with hands on experience working with plants from germination through maturity.
​
Today, our family team continues to grow the best annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetable plants, along with beautiful planters and hanging baskets! We're proud to serve you.

We hope you'll stop in soon to check it out.
Growing Practices
Here at Sokolowski's Greenhouses, we're defying the odds. Scientifically speaking, it was said we won’t even be able to grow plants here.
We didn't listen. Through passion, education, and patience, we are proud to have over 19 greenhouses full of plants thriving in their environment every season.
​
We accomplished this through traditional style growing, using natural air, minimal fan usage, as well as roll up sides and natural vents in our houses.
Everything here has a personal touch. It's not an exaggeration to say that every single plant, thousands upon thousands each year, individually passes under our eyes for inspection. This is custom-tailored growing at its finest. No bulk, generic, careless growing here!
