After emigrating from Denmark, Niels Jensen worked for relatives in their Avon greenhouse until he founded his own in Avon Lake in 1966. He moved his operation to Detroit Road in Avon in 1985, and by the late 1980s his sons Bryan and Bruce were overseeing the day-to-day operation of the company. Today Bryan and Bruce are co-owners of Pinehaven Garden Center & Greenhouses, Inc. which they run with the help of their parents, two sisters, Bryan's daughter, and Bruce's son. We met with Bryan and Bruce recently, and listened as they provided this description of Pinehaven Garden Center & Greenhouses' offerings;

Pinehaven Garden Center & Greenhouses is a family owned and operated garden center and greenhouse operation. We offer both wholesale and retail products ranging from seasonal plants to hanging baskets, holiday flowers, and vegetable plants. We carry most anything you can think of that either flowers or produces vegetables. We also take pride in the ability of our professional staff members to answer our customers' gardening questions.

Running greenhouses and a garden center certainly keeps us busy, but we enjoy what we are doing and look forward to coming to work each day. This passion for our work is what sets us apart from our competition. We are on ten acres of land with about three acres under cultivation, and a lot of people come into the greenhouse and say, "Wow! I can't believe how big this is and all the beautiful colors you have!"

We are a family run business, our families all live in Avon, and we enjoy being part of the local community.
