Aris Green Leaf Plants Takes on Herb Business From Silverleaf Greenhouses
September 19, 2022 
This past week, Aris Horticulture, Inc. President and CEO Scott Schaefer announced an agreement between Silverleaf Greenhouses, Inc. and Aris’ Green Leaf Plants Division to take on the operation’s herb business. Silverleaf recently sold its facilities to a recreational cannabis operator.
To ensure continuity and better serve customers, the agreement also provides for Silverleaf owner Larry Silverman to provide transition consulting.
“I am looking forward to working with the Aris Green Leaf team to provide transitional assistance and future support for the continued supply of high-quality herbs to my customers,” Silverman says.
Silverleaf has an extensive herb offering, with more than 200 varieties, while Green Leaf offers more than 100 herb varieties. Silverleaf’s product line includes 102’s (51 cell), 2.5”, and custom 4“; these will be added to the Green Leaf Product offering over the next two weeks. Green Leaf’s herb program remains unchanged.
Blair Hoey, Managing Director of Green Leaf Plants, says that effective September 26, 2022, Green Leaf’s distributor partners may place orders under existing terms and conditions subject to Green Leaf’s pricing and availability. In order to accommodate the short transfer lead time, two Silverleaf programs, Scented Geraniums and Mixed herb trays (3 17-strips), will be suspended for 2023.
The combined product line offering will provide an opportunity for distributors and end customers to benefit from one-stop shopping, Green Leaf’s Annual Earned Discount Program (AED), and continuing to receive high-quality young plants. Green Leaf Plants is a leading supplier of perennial young plants with a strong position in herbs. All new orders will be produced at the Green Leaf Plants facility in Lancaster, PA.
