Our History
In 1948, George and Irene Kah began the nursery with a little more than 8 acres of land, a few plants and a barn. As the business grew, they began to lease land to grow more of their own plants. In 1957, William Baughman was hired. In 1968, Bill purchased 8 acres of land which Bill and George,as partners, decided to use to plant shrubs. Over the years the partnership grew as more land was acquired. In 1984, sometime after George Kah passed away, Bill purchased the nursery from Georges wife, Irene Kah. The nursery has continued to expand over the years with many additions. Kah Nursery is now comprised of nearly 50 acres, five polyhouses, two greenhouses, a lath house, equipment barns, and office.
