Johansen Greenhouse started out as Johansen Produce in 1977, by Mardell and the late Eldon Johansen.
When the produce production grew, the knowledge to start melon plants in the greenhouse for field planting was learned, and the first greenhouse was built. Then, shortly after, customers showed an interest in purchasing plants; in 1987, the decision to start Johansen Greenhouse was made. In 1988 and 89, Eldon and Mardell Johansen continued their education in Greenhouse Management at OSU.
After the death of Eldon Johansen in 1997, Rhonda Johansen-Hoefer came on board full-time to work with her mother.
In the year of 2000, Johansen Greenhouse opened their second location, "J&H Greenhouse" in O'Neill; this was also the year Rick Hoefer, (Rhonda's Husband) started working with the family full-time. Rick and Rhonda Hoefer, with degrees in Greenhouse Management from OSU, became the next generation of owners of Johansen Greenhouse.
In 2017, the decision was made to close J&H Greenhouse and run only one location in Norfolk. This is where Johansen Greenhouse and Nursery begins with a new storefront and greenhouse expansion. And so the adventure continues.
Johansen Greenhouse and Nursery is a second-generation family-owned business operation for over 30 years.
