Rhodes Greenhouses was started in 1962 in a wood framed greenhouse by Leland and Gerene Rhodes who had also operated the Triangle Gardens Greenhouse operation in Adams, New York starting in 1947. Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes moved to Henderson in 1962 and started the process of building the greenhouses, eventually moving some of the greenhouses from the former Adams site to Henderson, New York.
The business was bought by their son, Gary, in 1982, and he started to build the business up, until it became the largest grower of spring plants in this part of New York State. Customers come from all over this part of the state to obtain some of the best grown plants around.

A memorial garden with stones, rocks and bolders is being planned for an area next to Rhodes Greenhouses in memory of Becky, and this will be started in the Spring of 2019. A huge bolder will be brought in from her Grandmother's farm in Ellisburg, and a rock that apparently was created in Canada, and pushed here by the Glacers will also be included among many rocks presented to the family at Becky's Funeral and after.
