NEW CARLISLE — Meadow View Growers, a large garden center near New Carlisle will be closing after 40 years.

MVG sells a variety of plants, garden supplies, and decor at their location at 755 N Dayton Lakeview Rd in New Carlisle.
On Friday, Aug. 2 the company announced on its Facebook Page that it would be closing after 40 years.

“The time has come to turn the page, and while this decision has not come easily, it is the correct one. While the business as it currently stands will close, we still have an abundance of beautiful and healthy plants, so we invite you to come in and start or expand your garden,” Pack said in the Facebook post,
Several people in the comments of the post indicated the business had seemed to struggle in recent years.
On the Meadow View Growers Website, the company listed three “areas of growth” planned for 2022-2025:
They planned to provide a greater diversity of plants and services, strengthen their production practices, update their facilities, and reward their staff through a good work environment and compensation via benefits and honest pay.
An official closing date has not been announced, but Pack did reference Summer and Fall purchases for those with gift cards or Bloomin’ Rewards points.
Pack did not mention a reason for the closure in his post.
