Fairview Garden Center Named Top Garden Center for 2016
Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center, Inc. has been named one of the top independent garden centers in the United States and Canada by Garden Center magazine.
Fairview Garden Center ranked #84 on the 2016 Garden Center Top 100 Independent Garden Centers list, which was published in September and sponsored by AmericanHort and Bloem.
“Our Top 100 list includes some of the best and brightest leaders in the garden center industry,” said Garden Center Editor Michelle Simakis. “In addition, we profiled 20 of these companies from across our list and across the country to find out what makes them successful.”
The Garden Center Top 100 is based on 2015 sales volume from independent garden centers, and is reported by each company listed. Companies on the Top 100 list earned combined revenues of more than $1.1 billion in 2015. The list includes companies from 36 states in the U.S. and three provinces in Canada.
This year’s list was compiled by Garden Center editors during the summer of 2016.
