Clem Sr. and Cora Young bought the first of the 20 acre farm in 1923. Their three children helped work the farm. In 1924 the first greenhouse was built. Clem Jr. and his wife Barb bought out the business. Together, with their four children and son-in-law they worked to make the business grow. The first retail store was built in 1957. Young's still grow all their own vegetable and bedding plants. The Christmas Fantasy was added in 1985. Some of the Young family grandchildren help to keep the family business running.
