CENTERVILLE GREENHOUSES, INC.
OUR EARLY YEARS…
From 1972 on, Centerville Greenhouses went from cleaning and repairing the facilities (52 truckloads of junk to the landfill) – to massive foliage plant propagation and multi-state delivery routes. Here are a few of the photos taken along the way…

The 1980s & 1990s
The 1980s was a decade of expansion for Centerville Greenhouses. All of the original glass greenhouse roofs were replaced with fiberglass. A large north-side greenhouse was added as well as a new potting area/boiler building and a large east-side garage. Retail expanded significantly during the decade now offering a complete bedding plant area open to the public. As the Rob & Patti Lind family grew, they were put to work. There was no better worker than a home-grown one!

The Third Generation
As the decades passed, Centerville Greenhouses expanded into Landscaping and Hardscaping serving Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri.
In March 2024, Centerville Greenhouses, Inc. sold its greenhouse facility and purchased a new property at Drake Avenue and East Green Street in Centerville. No longer in the greenhouse industry as a wholesaler or retailer, Alex & Pete have fine-tuned their area of focus to concentrate soley on Landscape & Hardscape services, with more exciting opportunities to come.
