Our Beginnings

August Carl Oelschig was a German immigrant who emigrated to the United States in 1882 with a deep love of and unshakable faith in the greenhouse industry. After a brief stay in Long Island, New York, he ventured down south to open a nursery business in Savannah, Georgia.

Flourished

Within a few years, his business had flourished, and by the early 1900s, Oelschig Nursery was the first U.S. producer of field-grown roses and the world’s largest shipper of rubber plant cuttings.

Leader in Greenhouse Management.

The Oelschig family has continued to operate the nursery for over 140 years, and it is now run by the fourth generation of Oelschigs. The nursery is still headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, and it continues to be a leader in the greenhouse industry.
