Meadow View is a family business committed to producing the finest quality plants. The 40 (80,000SF) greenhouse structures are located just south of New Carlisle, OH, a small town north of Dayton.

 The business began in the fall of 1984 when a cornfield was converted to 3 greenhouse structures. Today Meadow View is one of the premiere horticultural businesses in the Dayton area. It is a destination where the inexperienced as well as the seasoned gardener can purchase the highest quality and “not-so-common” varieties of annual bedding plants, perennials, vegetables, herbs, fall flowering garden mums, and poinsettias.

 In early 2008 we added to the family, when we broke ground on a new state-of-the-art 24,000 square foot greenhouse. It features cutting edge technology that enables us to replace older, less energy efficient greenhouses and add slightly more capacity.

 The Garden Barn is a place to find unique gardening items for use in your garden or for a gardener friend. This is where you bring your purchases for check-out. Seasonal themed Gift Cards, that never expire, are available in denominations beginning at $10.00. Gift Cards are a great way to remember or say thank you to a client or friend.

 Meadow View specializes in hard to find selections, whether it’s plants or the collection from the Garden Barn. The variety of new plants including annuals, perennials and herbs has set the company apart from other businesses in the area.
The Meadow View team is committed to excellence in products and service. A recent collective summary of professional experience on staff exceeded 350 years. Most team members are avid gardeners and very knowledgeable and caring people. They enjoy using their experience as they grow your plants and sharing their expertise as they serve our customers.
