Greenhouse in business for 30 years

RHINELANDER - One local garden business will turn 30 this year. Hanson's Garden Village in Rhinelander opened for business in the summer of 1985. The owners say that growing plants runs in the family.

"My mom runs a greenhouse in Glidden, which is in Ashland County," said Owner Brent Hanson. "I guess it must have gotten into my blood. Thirty years ago we started with some open land and put up one little Quonset greenhouse and now we have 2 acres of greenhouses."

It was just Brent Hanson and his wife at first during the first years of the business. Now they typically employ thirty people with six full-time employees.
