Greenhouse And Floral Shop In Sibley To Close

Sibley, Iowa — A greenhouse and floral shop in Sibley that’s been in business over 90 years is going to close at the end of the month.

Rick Echter, who owns Echter’s Greenhouse and Floral tells us about the business’s long history in Sibley.


However, Echter says the business is scheduled to close in less than two weeks, on June 30th. Echter says he’s retiring from the business.


Echter says they haven’t listed the business on the market yet, but he says the community needs the business.

He says if they don’t get a buyer, he’s thinking he might do the bedding plant business only for one more year because they have to make those purchases in the fall, and his wife Barb will probably work at the courthouse for another 18 months. But he says the floral end of the business will close on June 30th.

Echter says if you’ve always wanted to run a flower shop and greenhouse, he’d love to talk to you. You can reach him at 712-754-3446.
