Hello! I'm Jeffrey Doherty, Operations Manager of Angel's. My parents Angel and Paul Doherty started our business in 1957 as a small road-side flower stand in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The original greenhouse was a small 20' x 50' glass greenhouse that was moved from Fair Acres on Hayden Rowe to the top of Bayre Hill just west of interstate 495 at the intersection of West Main and School Streets. This greenhouse was the original propagation house that the Doherty brothers used in their florist business from the early 1940's to the late 1950's. My father Paul was a school teacher by day and a grower by afternoons, weekends and summers producing one crop, chrysanthemums. The sixties were busy with three children to raise and expanding the business to include spring pansies and other annuals. The 70's were the expansion years; acquiring land for the Garden Center, a new greenhouse and more crops. The 80's and 90's saw the addition of two more greenhouses, increasing the in-house crop production and automation to the all-manual labor operation. Today we are growing on 30+ acres with eight greenhouses and the addition of a bark mulch and firewood delivery business. We are growing 50,000 annuals and perennials each year and enjoy a thriving winter business selling Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations.
