Company OverviewAlders Wholesale is a full service wholesale florist serving the greater Hudson Valley region for over 50 years. Throughout that time, Alders formed relationships with a wide range of clients that include florists, craft shops, restaurants, churches, schools, business offices, retailers, event decorators and designers. The dynamics of the flower industry have become more challenging in recent years. Many companies find that choosing the right wholesale florist is increasingly difficult due to constant change from corporate buyouts, technological advances and product inconsistency. We aim to serve our customers with a personal touch, while maintaining leadership in product quality and selection. Our buyers use multiple vendors, working hard to find the freshest and highest quality product on the market. With our experienced and knowledgeable sales staff, you are guaranteed to receive the best service, answers to your questions and personal assistance with every order, both large and small. History |
|||||||||||||||||
| The company origin dates back to 1959 when Henry and Irmgard Alders began growing gladiolus and peddling them out of their garage. Within a decade, the business outgrew their makeshift space and a major transition had begun. The expansion lead to the construction of a new building and our current location on Egbertson Road in Campbell Hall, NY.
The new facility allowed for rapid growth by adding a robust refrigeration system, new employees and additional delivery vehicles. Alders began to diversify with the creation of comprehensive craft supplies and Christmas departments. The floral department expanded to include California flowers as an addition to the delphinium, gypsophilia and tulips already grown by Henry and Irmgard. In the 1970’s Alders increased their product, quality and selection by providing customers with flowers purchased on the international market. Selections from countries such as Colombia, Holland, New Zealand and Australia allowed Alders to provide seasonal flowers on a year-round basis. Major construction began in 1987 and again in 1996 adding increased refrigeration, office space, a new flower department, an extensive loading bay and a new greenhouse. These additions streamlined our order/delivery system enabling us to distribute the freshest product available. |

| Today, Alders has grown from that two car garage into a corporation with over 45 employees and three generations of workers. Henry and Irmgard enjoy watching their son Tom, daughter Heidi, and many other long-time employees carry on their tradition of quality and friendly service to their ever growing number of clientele. |
