Terra Nova Nurseries, a world leader in plant breeding, today announced the 25th anniversary of its founding. This year marks a quarter century of business since the company’s Ken Brown and Dan Heims formed a professional alliance that would change the face of horticulture.
Along with co-founders Jody Brown and Lynne Bartenstein, they vertically integrated a breeding company and tissue culture facility, combining forces to generate and introduce a stable of more than 1,000 varieties of new perennials and annuals. Many of these new plants have won national and international awards, and ongoing breeding accomplishments have put genera such as heuchera and tiarella on the horticulture map.
Terra Nova Nurseries’ mission during the years has involved best-of-breeding, creative plant introduction marketing, and organizational management practices.
Brown and Heim’s philosophy of hiring phenomenal breeders and talented tissue-culture experts has
helped blaze a trail for the company’s worldwide recognition and plant distribution. The Terra Nova Nurseries team produces dozens of hardy new selections each year through expert flower breeding and laboratory research. These varieties are then propagated through tissue culture in state-of-the-art labs to make large quantities of healthy plants available to finishing growers, garden center retailers, landscape professionals, home gardeners, botanical gardens, and others throughout the world.
