Within the humid confines of Upriver Greenhouse Florist and Nursery’s 13 covered greenhouses, canopies of hanging baskets soak up the sun's rays and glossy fern fronds sprawl out across the floor. Since 1928, the Knorr family has owned this lush, tropical oasis, where their pet birds, including a macaw and cockatoo, frequently soar above the plants and squawk tips for winterizing guests’ flower beds. To ensure that budding green thumbs don’t get overwhelmed, the knowledgeable staff eagerly helps customers sift through thousands of plants to discover ideal greenery for their gardens.
