Five minutes out of town, a quaint greenhouse gears up for a busy winter. While most greenhouses close up and liquidate end-of-season, the Palmyra Greenhouse continues propagating, pruning, and planting.
James Fifelski and Gary Scott moved from Minneapolis 10 years ago to open the greenhouse, where painted cows dot the front lawn.
Fifelski operates as owner/builder, while Scott, with a degree in horticulture, oversees plant care.
Fifelski worked for several large growing facilities before opening the greenhouse. “Working for ourselves is much more rewarding,” he said.
