| In the summer of 1953 the smells of tomatoes and other foods would flow across the fertile harvested fields of South Jersey. Kenneth Casper looked out on his fields and saw a new future growing in his rich loam soil. Instead of agribusiness he had chosen a new direction and became one of the first horticulture businesses in his region. This departure from his forefathers would lead to the establishment and growth of Casper's Nurseries. |

Today this second-generation wholesale nursery provides almost 300 varieties of plants to customers all across the United States. In nearly half a century the company has grown from a few acres to one which has two locations and continues to buy additional land to support its 30% annual growth. |
| This winter has also brought about more change with the founder passing on the business to his son Todd Casper. Todd benefits from a lifetime of working at his father's side as well as being given the freedom to implement new technologies and product lines into the business. The past five years have shown the benefits of Todd's innovations, including a 40% expansion in new plants and an aggressive marketing strategy. |
