About this provider

Del’s Garden Center officially opened their doors April 1st, 1967. Sales that first short year totaled $22 thousand dollars. The community of Spencer and surrounding area became a blessing to Del and Charin and their business grew rapidly. Greenhouses and a flower shop were added and Charin became involved in growing greenhouse crops and working as a florist. A Morton Building and addition to the store happened in 1974 along with more greenhouse space in the 70s. Del’s was incorporated in 1971 and more employees were added to the garden center; nursery; flower shop. The landscape department was headed by Ken Ferguson. Angela Hetrick and Gary Fisk joined the store staff and the business continued to flourish thanks to the generosity of the customers in Spencer and Northwest Iowa. Christmas trees were offered during the holidays and flocking fresh green trees was popular.
