Forth Floral

For over 120 years, our floral business has been growing and thriving! In 1900, a greenhouse in the center of a rough and rowdy mecca for lumberjacks didn't seem to stand much of a chance for survival, much less success. Our great-grandparents, Peter and Lena Philipp persevered - immigrating from Luxembourg full of dreams and determination, the young couple put down roots on North Brown Street in Rhinelander and built Philipps Greenhouse.

Though the early years were tough, including a destructive fire that damaged the original greenhouse, Peter and Lena's business grew and began to thrive. In 1928, their daughter Julia and her husband Arthur Forth bought the business and renamed it Forth Floral which they then owned and operated into the 1970s.
