Facility Greenhouses &
Shade Structures
At Loma Vista Nursery, what we do and how we do it matters now and for future generations.
Our growing facility in Ottawa, Kansas is equipped with 150 Stuppy cold frame greenhouses. From temperature control to roll up sides to help air flow, each greenhouse has custom options tailored to the plant material inside. Each greenhouse has a specific function, creating a climate to mitigate bacterial diseases and cultivate vibrant healthy plants.
In addition to our greenhouses, we also have two large shade structures that house plants. The first was built in 2015 and protects predominantly hostas and other perennials that prefer a shady environment. The second shade structure was constructed in 2016 and encompasses seven (7) acres of ground. This structure houses boxwoods and yews for both current and future demands. Both structures were built in-house, equipped with roll back tops and sides to allow sunlight and air flow.

At Loma Vista Nursery, we use an Electrostatic Mist Blower to treat our nursery. With a mist blower, there is uniform airflow, providing a better, more consistent coverage. Additionally, it is simply more streamline, with a continuous more direct spray, we use less chemicals. The mist blower also allows us to treat any time of year. The streamlined direction of the spray also reduces turbulence on the machine, creating a safer environment, alleviate risk to our employees.
Loma Vista Nursery utilizes two state-of-the-art potting machines. The ‘Javo’ is used for potting One and Two gallon containers, and the ‘Boulden Lawson’ handles potting anything larger, all the way to a Thirty (30) gallon Tree. Between the two machines, the nursery is able to pot up to 20,000 plants per day. The advantages on these machines and our process are many, but at the forefront, it raises the quality of the nursery stock by planting at the proper depth and the ability to better plant in the center of the container.
Loma Vista Nursery is currently in Phase II of the USDA/National Plant Board SANC (Systems Approach to Nursery Certification) Pilot Program. Visit http://sanc.nationalplantboard.org/ for more details on how we are adding, yet another layer, to growing the healthiest plants around.
