A Growing Presence... Roots Matter™











Ivanhoe Nursery is a local grower and distributor of quality grown landscape



grade, shade, ornamental and evergreen trees. We carry a good selection of



nursery stock in B&B, above ground, ready for immediate pick up. Our



goal is providing customers with quality plants at affordable prices with



unparalleled customer service.











In 1850, Michael Wirtz left his hometown Luxemburg, Germany. He arrived in New



York after thirty eight days at sea. As with many immigrants of his day he soon



sought out a place to call home which was Chicago. Michael worked as a farmhand



and soon acquired land in Fremont Township. This land was know as Ivanhoe Farm



and to this day still carries this name.











As sixth generation Wirtz's, we are proud to be continuous owners of the



Ivanhoe Farm.In celebration of our heritage we are moving towards



sustainability in the use of our land. It is our desire to grow high quality



ornamental trees and shrubs in order to satisfy the needs of the discerning



buyer. Currently we have over 10,000 hundred various trees and shrubs planted



and will continue planting more in the future. As we become more established,



our plans will include a wholesale yard as well as a retail outlet.
