DOWNHAM NURSERIES (1993) INC.
Downham Nurseries (1993) Inc., is a grower and wholesaler of a
broad line of nursery stock, including field grown evergreens,
container evergreens, flowering shrubs, ornamental trees, and
vines.
The Company's operations consist of a growing farm (360 acres), a
flowering shrub container range (25 acres), and the main facility
(York Street) of 23 acres where container evergreens and
ornamental trees are grown, and which houses the administration
office, cold storage, shipping facilities, and the new
propagation greenhouse.
Approximately 85% of all stock sold by Downham is grown by
Downham at its own facilities, and 90% of grown items are
propagated by Downham.
Our propagation greenhouse is a 15,000 square foot gutter
connect with computer controlled heating, cooling and misting
systems. We utilize it for 3 turns per year. The first is early
season softwoods (spireas, potentillas, etc.) next are the late
season softwoods (over winter in cooler) and finally the
hardwoods (evergreens, prunus cistena, cornus shrub varieties,
etc.), all in 2-1/4' X 3' peat pots placed directly on the floor,
which is heated in winter.
Downham's success has been the result of a strategy and goal of
'Complete Customer Satisfaction'. Producing and shipping quality
products is obviously a very important part of this. We have
made many quality improvements in recent years. We believe this
strategy will enable the company to grow and prosper for many
years to come.
