About American Meadows
American Meadows' approach is simple. For over 30 years, we’ve offered gardeners only the best wildflower seed, flower bulbs, perennial plants and seed packets — the ones we grow in our own gardens. We stand ready to help you grow with confidence.
Our core team consists of over 40 dedicated individuals who enjoy working for a fun, quirky and progressive company. Our primary office and warehouses are located in Vermont with a greenhouse in Utah.
Our StoryOur core team consists of over 40 dedicated individuals who enjoy working for a fun, quirky and progressive company. Our primary office and warehouses are located in Vermont with a greenhouse in Utah.
In 1980, wildflower enthusiasts Chy & Ray Allen moved to the Champlain Valley of Vermont to fulfill their dream of popularizing wildflower gardening with the wider public.
The wildflower farm the Allens created was conceived simply as a tourist attraction but quickly grew to be much more. As demand grew, the Allens created a national wildflower seed and gift catalog with an annual circulation of well over one million households.
Around 2000, the Allens recognized that the Internet offered the perfect opportunity to reach the widest gardening audience. Due to its early presence online, American Meadows is one of the most trusted and best-listed gardening websites. In fact, American Meadows was one of the first "Success Stories" featured on Google.
With the growth of AmericanMeadows.com, the Allens sold their wildflower farm and retail gift shop in 2002 to focus on creating a one-stop resource for wildflower, perennial and flower bulb products and information.
The Next Generation: Ray and Chy Allen celebrate the sale of their business to long-time employee Mike Lizotte and his business partner, Ethan Platt.
In December 2008, Chy & Ray Allen were proud to sell American Meadows to one of their long-time employees, Michael Lizotte, and his high school friend, Ethan Platt. Mike has been a part of the wildflower business ever since he painted a fence for the Allens at age thirteen. Over twenty years later, Mike & Ethan are excited to continue to build upon the legacy that the Allens created and the dedicated staff at American Meadows looks forward to serving the country’s gardeners for years to come.
Our expert staff includes friendly, enthusiastic professionals, most of whom have been with us for years. All of our people are challenged to uphold the long-established reputation we enjoy for fine products and individualized, caring customer service. We have grown tremendously, but our standards have never changed. We will always be interested in each and every customer.

Because we are not growers, our sole focus is to source the highest-quality products for our customers. We have formed partnerships around the globe to provide the best possible quality and variety available in our industry today.
Most of our bulbs are imported from Holland under a special arrangement with one of the oldest and finest Dutch exporters. This family-owned and operated company is involved in every step of the Dutch bulb supply from growing to sorting, packaging, importing and distribution.
Our perennials are grown especially for American Meadows by seasoned experts in Holland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
American Meadows offers not only the highest quality products, but also over twenty-five years of experience in educating and learning from the horticultural industry. We have helped literally hundreds of thousands of gardeners establish and enjoy abundant fields of flowers that offer years of enjoyment and memories to last a lifetime.
In addition to individual gardeners, we frequently work with large-scale commercial customers, states and municipalities and create custom seed packets for companies and other organizations.

Here is what one of our fantastic customer service colleagues said about working with us:
"American Meadows is a great place to work. The teamwork and collaboration across departments is commendable and rare. A hard-working group of people having fun while doing good through gardening. Rare to find such a positive working environment where you can feel so good about the work you do, and the impact you're having on our planet. The seasonal nature of the business can mean some very busy and hectic days, but the environment, the team, and the subject matter (we are working with plants after all) outweigh the occasional chaos. Always adapting and changing, and reacting to both customer and staff feedback. Great place to work, fun team and opportunities to literally "dig in." A rare opportunity for hard-working, teamwork loving plant geeks. Bonus - there's snacks and puppies!"
Our core staff consists of over 40 dedicated individuals who enjoy working for a fun, quirky and progressive company. We look to hire folks who live our core values and are excited to spark joy in our customers' lives through gardening.
