About Mill Creek Farm Perennials
With over 30 years of experienced nursery production, we are able to offer our landscape contractors in Grand Rapids and nearby cities in West Michigan the opportunity to take part in our contract grow program.
Ground covers continue to prove to be some of our most popular inventories year after year. Because of it, we have increased our inventories and improved our nursery growing capabilities. We have also upgraded our facilities with the addition of two heated greenhouses on top of the four we already have. Two shrub cold frames were also built as part of the expansion plan bringing it to a total of seventeen.
Whether you’re a landscape contractor, a wholesale reseller or a garden store retailer, we would love to partner with you. We have a wide variety of selection to support your growing business needs.

Contract Grow Program CGP
Launched in 2008, our Contract Grow Program has evolved exponentially through the years. It has been strategically implemented in response to the pressing need relayed by our partners in the industry to meet the increasing demand for guaranteed supplies of popular varieties of plants.
When COVID-19 hit in 2019, it became more difficult to obtain inventories because of the availability of starter plants and finished products. During this time, our landscape contractors have relied on our expertise and resources to maximize opportunities by providing just in time inventories for their projects. In the process, not only our CGP ensures availability of supplies but it also saves our customers substantial amounts of money.
For conversations on our CGP, please give us a call and schedule an appointment with us. We would love to hear from you.
