After nearly 70 years in the mid-Atlantic horticultural industry, White's Nursery & Greenhouses, Inc. is set to close its doors with a comprehensive liquidation auction of its assets. This event, organized by Rasmus Auctions and Peoples Auction Co. Inc., marks the final chapter for one of the region's commercial greenhouse and wholesale nurseries.

Phase 1: Commercial and Industrial-Grade Equipment
Phase 2: Tools and Equipment for the Local Business Community
In response to previous attempts to liquidate the assets, which were marred by technical failures and resulting skepticism, the liquidation strategy has been revised and expanded. The new approach divides the auction into two distinct phases, offering a broader range of assets to appeal to both industry professionals and local businesses.
Phase 1: Commercial and industrial-grade equipment
Scheduled for October 9, 2024, this auction will feature the sale of large-scale greenhouse structures, specialized horticultural equipment, and other capital assets critical to commercial growing operations. This includes a variety of X.S. Smith greenhouses, boilers, irrigation systems, and more.
Phase 2: Tools and equipment for the local business community
Just a day later, on October 10, 2024, the second auction will target local businesses and general gardening consumers. This sale will include hand tools, power tools, golf carts, retail equipment, and gardening supplies ranging from containers to tomato stakes. This phase offers an opportunity for smaller operations to acquire equipment and supplies. The auction items will close at a rate of five to seven items every two minutes, beginning at 6:00 PM EST on the respective dates.
Interested buyers will have the opportunity to inspect the assets in person at White's Nursery & Greenhouses on October 7 and 8, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM at 3133 Old Mill Road, Chesapeake, VA 23323.
