Meridian Street Greenhouse

In 1939, Carl and Mary Mayme Risch purchased the present 7 acres and began a truck garden operation with a horse and buggy from which the sold a range of vegetables. Carl married Betty Renner in 1940 and both the business and their family continued to expand over the next few years as they had four kids: Vic, Anna, Chuck and Paul. As 1950 rolled around the Risch family started selling pansies and tomato plants from hot beds. This was the beginning of Risch Greenhouses. In 1997 the Greenhouse was renamed Meridian St. Greenhouse under the ownership of Marty and Sally Meyer and Mike and Toni Humes.
