Ingleside Plantation Nurseries
Description
Ingleside Plantation, Inc. has been owned and operated as an agricultural enterprise since 1890 by the Flemer family. Carl Flemer, Jr. who now serves as Chairman of the Board, entered the wholesale nursery business in 1949. Under his direction, the nursery grew to 1,800 acres and became known as "Virginia's largest and finest nursery."
During the 1970's two sons, Fletcher and Douglas, returned to help manage the family operation. During this time, Ingleside's B & B nursery operation expanded to include a commercial vineyard and winery. In the early 1990's, the nursery, again, expanded its operation to include a pot-n-pot growing area, and perennials in containers.
Located in the beautiful Northern Neck area of Virginia, Ingleside Plantation Nurseries (IPN) owns 2,900 acres with approximately 1,500 acres in nursery stock at any one time. The nursery acreage is located within a five-mile radius of the main office on 20 different farm locations. Soil types range from heavy clay loam to sandy loam, allowing a wide variety of plant material to be produced by utilizing soil types best suited for each variety's proper growth and digging. The nursery employs 100 full-time and 50 part-time employees. During the busy spring and fall seasons, contract diggers are utilized.
