Glasshouse Works

01/27/2025

Hey Guys, Just a kind of final update for you. The property of Glasshouse Works has officially been sold. I'm still pretty regularly getting messages asking about plants that might still be available for purchase.. I don't have any information for anyone in regard to any remaining plants in the greenhouses. They were sold with the property so unfortunately, I'm unable to help with those inquiries anymore.
For now, this page will remain up as is our website www.glasshouseworks.com Obviously, you're unable to purchase on the site. It's being revamped as a memorial to Tom and Ken and the wonderful plant knowledge they contributed during their lives. We know and recognize that so many people use the site for plant names and information so we wanted to try and keep that available.
If you have plant care questions, feel free to message me (Sarah) If I have time I'd be glad to help you to the best of my ability.
Thanks!

The Glasshouse Works greenhouses is a mailorder nursery specializing in rare and exotic hardy and tropical plants from around the world. We are your source for plants both traditional and unusual. Variegated plants are our specialty.

Hey Guys,
Unfortunately I bring you sad news. Ken passed away on Friday, May 3rd. I apologize as I'm not doing well expressing all that this encompasses; for us, the plant community, and everyone else who loved and looked up to him too. The loss is insurmountable and heart breaking. To those of you who knew and loved him, who respected him, who cared.. I'm very sorry.

Hey Everybody,
Its been a while since we’ve put out an update. We know a lot of you have likely noticed we’ve not been as active this past year.
Our owner has been experiencing some serious health struggles. Upon this, he has made the very difficult decision to close Glasshouse Works.
Any open orders we have are being refunded as we are now unable to fulfill them. Keep an eye out for emails from us letting you know this has been completed in the coming weeks. This process may take us several weeks, so your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated while we traverse this new road in our journey.

We have had a fabulous 45+ years in this wonderful world of plants. Met some of the greatest people the world has to offer and had experiences unique to this niche. We love these plants; those experiences and we have had a fantastic time!

If you have questions or concerns about your refund, please email me at [email protected] and I will assist you the best I can.
May your plants thrive, your vines grow and your flowers bloom for always.
A million Thank You’s, for being the best part of Glasshouse Works.
