Hannah’s Country Road Greenhouse
Launching a business was something that began to blossom many years before opening day for Hannah Hunnicutt. Growing up with a father who ran his own sign business, a grandfather who ran his own trailer manufacturer business, and a grandmother who always welcomed Hannah’s help working in her garden, it was no surprise to anyone when she to chose to put her Purdue University horticulture major and business minor to work in starting her own fresh flower business.
What began with helping her grandmother in the garden as a child, expanding later through studies in a high school horticulture class and experience competing in Future Farmers of America, came into focus for Hannah when she followed in her family’s footsteps of starting a business.
Hannah’s Country Road Greenhouse opened in spring of 2025, with a variety of plants, flowers and colorful floral hanging baskets for sale. Hannah’s work ethic and enthusiasm drove the twists and turns of opening and running a seasonal business that relied heavily on word of mouth.
She began by selling annual flowers and hanging baskets for Mother’s Day, and like herbal mint left to grow without boundaries, the news about Hannah’s Country Greenhouse spread throughout the community.
A typical basket measures 12”, with 5-6 plants per basket, such as petunias, geraniums, lantana and other florals to create a beautiful burst of colors. The coco fiber baskets are larger, measuring 16”, and contain 8-9 plants per basket.
This year’s Opening Day is April 25th with a festive Artisan Market 9am-4pm eastern time, 8am-3:00 central time. Located south of Bass Lake, Hannah’s Country Greenhouse is used to noting both time zones to make sure customers plan accordingly.
The Artisan Market will feature 21 craft vendors who create baked goods, skin care, laser-engraved artwork, local honey and more. The market will host a coffee truck and the popular Elephant Ear food truck (weather permitting). Last year, the first of these markets was such a success, Hannah will host the Opening Day event and a similar one in the fall.
Last year, Hannah also participated in the North Judson Mint Festival during Father’s Day weekend, which was a successful sales venture, made possible by the help of her grandparents who managed the greenhouse while she was at the Mint Festival.
Throughout the spring and early summer, the greenhouse stocks annuals, hanging baskets, large planters, individual plants including vegetables and herbs. This season, Hannah plans to add to the variety of hanging baskets and individual flowers for sale and introduce perennials, trees and fresh Amish produce to the items available at the greenhouse.
The greenhouse will stop selling flowers July 1st but will continue to offer fresh produce throughout the summer. In September, the greenhouse will reopen with autumn items including mums and pumpkins. November, December and January will once again be busy with seeding until the next spring brings with it another beautiful season of blooms.
Located south of Bass Lake, the greenhouse mainly sits on family land, typical hours of operation are Thursday through Sunday 9:00AM – 4:00PM (EST), where customers can stop by and choose from the daily fresh variety of flowers.
Hannah’s Country Greenhouse maintains an active presence on Facebook, particularly with Facebook Groups, which is the preferred way to reach Hannah about current seasonal items. In fact, it was on Facebook Marketplace that Hannah first saw and eventually bought her first greenhouse.
