Chrysanthemum Growing Operation Starts In Middletown, MD Field

MIDDLETOWN — Mums in orange, rust, yellow, purple, white and red have been growing most of the summer in a field at TSB Enterprises on Marker Road.

Starting as tight, green mounds, the property’s 40,000 chrysanthemums have slowly exploded into color as the days have grown shorter and the nights longer.

The mums you buy this fall at local nurseries and grocery stores may have been cultivated there. TSB, which recently moved to Marker Road from Lothian, near Annapolis, began leasing the old farm once known as Gude Brothers Greenhouses in July.
