Donald A Schuster Greenhouse

At Donald A. Schuster Greenhouse, we are a 4th generation family owned greenhouse and farm located in Elyria, Ohio. We take pride in our business, which has been growing for over 50 years. We offer a wide variety of plants, gardening supplies, and seasonal items for our customers.

Our story began in 1927 when Martin Schuster bought a piece of property on Murray Ridge Road where he started growing vegetable crops in the fields. His son, Donald A. Schuster, developed a passion for bedding plants and wanted to start a greenhouse business of his own. In 1964, Donald opened his greenhouse, which remains open to this day.

In 2000, Donald retired and handed the business over to his four sons; Don Jr. (retired), Ed, Steve, and Chuck. As second-generation growers, Donald A. Schuster Greenhouse Inc. strives for quality, service, and products. Ed, Steve, and Chuck work to keep the traditions of their father's work at the forefront, while striving to use 21st-century technology to enhance their growing.

As of August 2019, Donald A. Schuster Greenhouse, Inc. is excited to announce the next phase of continued growth - Steve's son Doug has joined the family business. Doug graduated in 2009 from Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute with a degree in Greenhouse Management and was then hired by the University as their Greenhouse Manager. In 2012, Doug took a position as Greenhouse Manager with Kingwood Center Gardens in Mansfield, Ohio. He was promoted to Director of Horticulture in 2017. In 2019, Doug has come full circle back to the family greenhouse he grew up working at. His unique experience will enhance the business's strong foundation built by his grandfather, father, and uncles.
