While our journey began in 1992 on 167 acres in southern Wisconsin, our loyal customers motivated and challenged us to continue to expand and produce more quality plant material. Today, Mariani Nurseries has 515 acres in Kenosha, WI and a120-acre Container/Propagation Nurseries in Garden Prairie, IL.

The main focus of the 515 acre Kenosha Nursery is producing ball and burlap specimen plant material. Located 3 miles north of the IL/WI border (5 minutes off the I-94 Interstate), the heavy clay loam soils are perfectly suited for B&B production. Shade Trees, Intermediate Ornamentals, Upright /Spreading Evergreens, and larger Flowering Shrubs are all grown on wide field spacing. Extensive pruning and meticulous cultural practices produce full, uniform, superior field plants.

Our 120-acre automated Container/Propagation Facility is located in Garden Prairie, IL (10 minutes west of Marengo, IL 15 minutes off the I-90 NW Toll road). The state of the art Container range produces #3, #5 and #7 gallon flowering shrubs and evergreens as well as smaller container grown perennials and groundcover (see catalog for complete listing). The Propagation Facility utilizes climate controlled greenhouses and irrigated liner beds to consistently produce quality liners for the Garden Prairie container range and Kenosha B&B production. Producing our own liners ensures a more consistent availability of Mariani Nurseries container and field production.

Our pledge, “Your Complete Source”, would not be possible without Mariani Plus™, our above ground sales yards (located at both Garden Prairie and Kenosha facilities). Both sales yards are stocked with Mariani grown container and B&B plant material plus our expanded selection of out sourced plants. All Mariani Plus™ plants are staged (shrink wrapped/drip irrigated) and ready for immediate pick up. With a full time plant buyer, we are constantly searching for hard to find, quality specimens to help meet our customer’s needs.
