A Legacy of Growth & Passion

In 1960, Agnes Banotai’s deep passion for flowers inspired her and her husband, Joseph, to build a single greenhouse and turn her dream into reality. What started as a humble endeavor soon flourished into one of Michigan’s leading floriculture businesses. Agnes was a true pioneer in an industry traditionally dominated by men, setting a standard for quality, dedication, and perseverance.
