Teters History

Teters Floral Products was founded by H. Tiffin Teters in 1957 for the purpose of manufacturing and selling Memorial Day wreaths and sprays.

The Teters family had been in the nursery business in Bolivar since 1909 and had a retail flower shop since 1930. Teters had three employees and production was done in the basement of Tiffin's home.

While our roots are as a family owned business, we have been corporately owned since the mid 70's.
