The Greenhouse

Ornamental Annual Container Nursery. Top products: Custom Hanging Baskets, Pre-potted Container Inserts, Unique Annuals. The Greenhouse, based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, is a specialized horticultural operation focused on the design and production of custom annual plant arrangements. Founded in 2002 by Kari Glessner, a degreed horticulturist and landscape designer, the business operates three greenhouse structures dedicated to producing ornamental annuals. The core business model centers on personalized, pre-ordered floral displays, specifically custom-designed hanging baskets and container inserts. A key differentiator for the business is their use of environmentally friendly paper pulp liners, which allow clients to easily integrate custom-grown plant arrangements into their own decorative pottery. These inserts are prepared with fresh soil each season to minimize disease risk and ensure plant vitality. The Greenhouse serves residential clients and corporations, offering seasonal design consultations and custom assembly services for outdoor living spaces. They operate as a seasonal nursery, typically opening to the public during the Mother’s Day weekend and remaining active through June.
