One year ago at this time, Greenhouse Grower’s Top 100 Growers list was in a state of transition, with a small handful of long-time operations either shutting down (due to either the lack of a succession plan or overall market conditions) or being purchased by other growers.

Our 2025 list is, to some degree, a continuation of this trend. Companies such as Everde Growers in California, Bela Flor Nurseries in Missouri, Rambo Nursery in Georgia, and Welby Gardens in Colorado have either made plans to close after this spring season or filed for bankruptcy with plans to hopefully recover.
The good news is that a number of growers are in expansion mode, with more than 25% of the Top 25 on the list increasing in size from 2024.
In the slideshow above, find out which companies claimed spots #50 through #26 on our list. You can find the first slideshow here and the second slideshow here, and watch for more updates on the list in the coming days. Also, let us know if anything on the list should be updated by commenting below.
