OUR STORY
2nd Generation Family-Owned Business
Jim and Karen Wieder were 27 years old and married only 2 years when they bought their 35 acre farm in March 1983. It had always been Jim's dream to have a farm and specifically a tree nursery. They started Foliage Farm that same year but as a landscaping company until their trees were old enough to open and operate a garden center. They did just that, in the Spring of 1988, moving the business into a full-time retail garden center and continued to do that for the next 30 years until Jim's unexpected passing on December 1, 2017.
​
Today, 3 years later, Jim and Karen's oldest daughter, Karli, has taken over the day to day tasks of operating the farm while also concentrating on expanding and offering new products.
​
With a degree in Ornamental Horticulture from Del Val College in Doylestown, class of 2007, and 20 years of experience, Karli has filled the rather large shoes left empty by her father.
​
Having a new found purpose and a dream, Karli looks forward to taking Foliage Farm into the future and continuing the reputation her family
established of offering quality plant material and making it her own.
