Spring Meadow Nursery was founded in 1981 by Dale and Liz Deppe. What started as a small, primarily contract-growing operation has grown to become one of the largest and best-known woody plant liner providers in North America in only 35 years.
Despite their size, Spring Meadow remains a family business with family values; like providing great company culture for their employees, and high-quality plants and customer service to their clients. Spring Meadow is the sole grower for the Proven Winners’ potted shrub liners. They are a highly specialized business with a focus on potted liners from rooted cuttings.
Spring Meadow boasts impressive technology at their growing facility. For instance, each liner is graded by a robotic grading machine. Spring Meadow Nursery is the only shrub propagation nursery in the world using this technology to ensure uniform standards for starter plants. The grading machine evaluates 10,000 plants per hour, eliminating the possibility for human error.
