Windmill Gardens

In 1968, John and Ansje DeGoede opened DeGoede Greenhouses in Sumner, Washington. The DeGoede's originally raised cut flower crops such as iris, tulips, and daffodils. In the early to mid 1970s, their product line was expanded to include fuchsia baskets and primula. In our 16 acres of greenhouses, the DeGoedes are growing over 100,000 hanging baskets. We are among the largest growers of spring fuchsia on the west coast. We also have over 300,000 primroses available for late winter and early spring. We grow over 50,000 pointsettias for wholesale and retail during the Christmas season. 1.6 million stems of cut tulips are grown for the wholesale floral trade from about Christmas through Easter, as well as more than 75 varieties of annuals & perennials. 1982, Windmill Gardens, DeGoede's retail division opened for business. Adding retail brought on a diverse scheme of plants to DeGoedes, including poinsettias, assorted bedding plants, and a wider variety of hanging baskets for spring. In 1990 we added a florist and a new building to house our garden supplies. In 1999 we finally built the Windmill we had obtained from Canada as well as landscaped our grounds and installed a wonderous display garden. Stroll through our beautiful gardens with 30,000 bulbs in bloom during the spring season. In the summer our gardens are in full bloom with annuals, perennials and landscape plants. In winter we become a wonderland of lights for the Holiday season. This is why so many Brides & Grooms pick Windmill Gardens for their special day.
