A Little About the Owners

When Joe Frisby, started in the greenhouse business at the age of 15, it was something his dad suggested to keep him out of trouble.

Thirty eight years later Frisby’s Greenhouse near Vinita Oklahoma has done more than keep him out of trouble; it has become one of the premier greenhouses in the country.

Frisby, who was raised on a farm, knew the value of hard work and went to for a nursery close to his home near Tahlequah. “At the age of 15 I was in charge of propagation, over 15 other people at the nursery,” Joe says.

He started his first greenhouse while working at that nursery from parts he collected from a nursery in Bixby that had been hit by a tornado. It was 15 foot by 30 foot house. Frisby went on to attend Oklahoma State University and earned his degree in horticulture.

Fast forward to today and Joe Frisby owns and operates multiple highly technical, state of the art greenhouses that covers over 70,000 square feet along with two retail stores… Frisby’s Retail next to the greenhouses in Vinita and Grand Lake Garden Center near Grove.

Joe Frisby brought in a partner about 10 years ago to help with the ever demanding job of running such a successful greenhouse. He chose someone who was as dedicated as himself. Who better than his right hand man for many years Jon Williams. Jon had already worked for him for 18 years and has helped make Frisby’s what it is today.  Jon has shouldered his share of the load for 28 years.

As you can tell plants are not just a business for these two gentlemen, it’s a PASSION!
