STOUGHTON, Wis. - eTradeWire -- This Fall the local Stoughton Garden Center announced the owners would be retiring and closing up shop on their longtime business.

Jung Garden Center is also a family owned and operated business for 4 generations, with it's youngest generation, Nathan Zondag, taking the lead at the start of the pandemic when interest in gardening increased for the millennial age group.

While Nathan was initially planning on opening just 1 location in 2023- in Appleton- he and his employees couldn't help but see something special in the this location when they heard the Stoughton Garden Center owners were retiring and selling the property.

While there are currently 3 Jung Garden Centers in the Madison area, the Stoughton Garden Center will provide a new opportunity for the brand to expand their greenhouse operations outside the Jung Headquarters in Randolph, WI. The new location has a planting room and greenhouse attached to the main building, and  2 large greenhouses behind the facility. There will also be capabilities to expand warehouse distribution to the Madison stores with increased storage.
