From humble beginnings to the Nation’s Leading Purveyor of Plants. Agawa Cultivation was born on the foundation and experience of Tagawa Greenhouse.
Tagawa Greenhouse has a very humble beginning.
The Tagawa family began their odyssey in 1967. Frank and Hazel Tagawa taught their five boys and one girl that hard work, honesty, dedication, leadership, and commitment to change are the key ingredients to a successful business.
Beginning by tilling the soil and producing vegetables, the family diversified by building their first carnation greenhouse and later producing bedding plants and roses. To be competitive, the family increased their product lines to include blooming plants, poinsettias, and young plant production. Tagawa Greenhouse has grown to become one of the top producers of plants in the United States.
Although we come from humble beginnings, Tagawa now grows more than two million square feet of plants at any given time. Proud to product annual and perennial seedlings and liners for greenhouse across North America. Nationally recognized big box garden centers and grocery chains trust our InColor Retail-Ready Plants to grow the finished annual and perennial products they sell all year to their customers.
Building on those resources and experience from over 56 years of production, Agawa Cultivation infuses our experience of operational techniques and production templates to produce high quality cannabis plants, strong yields and excellent efficiencies all while sticking to our roots of holistic cultivation.
While the products we grow at Tagawa Greenhouse and Agawa Cultivation are very different, what couldn’t be more alike is the expertise, care and passion that goes into the growth of each plant we touch. The greatest compliment our customers pay us is when they say there really is a difference with Agawa.
The legacy of the Tagawa family’s vision carries on with the next generation of owners which includes family and non-family.
For more than 50 years, our family has set the standard for excellence in our industry. The bedrock principle guiding our company has been working with integrity and transparency: building trust over time with our customers and the community.
We GROW: Amazing Plants, Extraordinary People and Relationships that Last!
