Sunset's success spurs expansion...
The success of Sunset Greenhouses helped finance expansion, and in 1981 Phelan Gardens was born. The hard work paid off and soon the greenhouse was ready for plants. Having several years of growing experience behind them, the Phelan family set out to fill their new space with life. Soon seedlings covered the benches and Sue was busy ordering and purchasing all the amenities a gardener might need.
Soon Phelan Gardens' tomatoes were the talk of the town and shipments of pottery, perennials, trees, and shrubs were flooding in. With both Phelan Gardens and Sunset Greenhouses flourishing, Sue and Don decided they could finally step back and admire what they had created. As they planned for their retirement years, they gave their children the opportunity to buy the business. Since 1998, brother and sister team, Mark and Monica have been the owners of the Phelan Corporation. Sunset Greenhouse still remains in the family, but is no longer under the umbrella of Phelan Corporation. It is separately owned and run by sister Valerie and her husband Ed Belding who proudly offer the same standard of quality plants.
