Heath's Background

Heath's Family Background

The first greenhouse at Heath's Greenhouse and Nursery was constructed in 1989, from the inception of Heath's Environmental Enterprise in 1972. Owner and operator Tom Heath became inspired, after the birth of his youngest child in 1989, with the idea of starting a home based, retail organic greenhouse and nursery business. It was paramount for him to go organic.

While carrying his daughter on his back, at such a young age, around the greenhouse, he managed to find a balance. She was fascinated in learning about beneficial insects and helping release lady bugs in the greenhouse. She loved assisting her dad with caring for the greenhouse; such as seeding and transplanting. Tom is well experienced in natural pest (insect) control management with 30+ years of self training.

Heath's Ancestors

The ancestors of Tom Heath (owner) settled along the Connecticut river in Newbury, Vermont in 1762. The Heath descendants established the Heath Farm in Haverhill, NH in the year 1820 after leaving the ancestral farm in Newbury, VT and homesteading in Bath, NH for a few years.

The Heath family have been growing organically for over 100 years and maybe a lot longer. Heath's Greenhouse pride themselves in being "Organic from the Beginning"
