New Greenhouse And Nursery Plans For May Opening In Greenfield

GREENFIELD, WI — As spring blooms, a family-owned nursery and greenhouse called Anne's Acres is planning on opening for the first time in Greenfield at 8711 Forest Home Avenue at the beginning of May.

Youssef Azmani, alongside his wife, Anne Azmani, are behind the new nursery. He told Patch construction on the new site is expected to round out in the next couple of weeks, and they've already been planting and planning for the gardening season to begin.

"We're here to make Greenfield beautiful," Azmani said. He said he's been in the industry for about eight years now, and part of the appeal to it is the science and knowledge behind growing plants.

"You get to actually see your work come to fruition," he said.

Anne's Acres grows all of their own plants themselves, as opposed to buying things from out of state or country, Azamani said.

Azmani said he grew up in Hales Corners, while his wife grew up in Franklin. He said they looked around for a spot to place their new business, and Greenfield happened to be very welcoming.

"We really wanted to work for ourselves be our own bosses," Azmani said.

According to the Anne's Acres website, geraniums, begonias, petunias, New Guinea impatiens, sunpatiens, coleus, zinnias, dahlias, hot peppers and other plants are at the top of their spring and summer offerings.

Come fall, Azmani says they plan on trying to offer things like pumpkins or corn stalks, and the business' website says kale and hardy mums could be part of the plan.

When winter hits, there's been some speculation on possibly staying open to offer things like Christmas trees, but Azmani says that could be further out than 2022 considering recent supply chain issues.

"We're excited to be here," Azmani said. "And we look forward to meeting everybody in a couple weeks now."
