History Established in 1876

In 1876, Amos Kuechenmeister came from Germany to settle in Wichita and open the Harry Street Greenhouse. Amos began his small business by selling the fresh vegetables and bedding plants that he and his wife Elise cared for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The original Harry Street Greenhouse met the local demand for quality vegetables and plants.

As his business grew, so did his family. Amos and his wife came to have seven children. All of Amos and Elise's children worked in the greenhouse, including their youngest daughter, Matilda, or Tillie for short. While Tillie enjoyed working with the vegetables and plants, she loved working with fresh flowers. It was because of young Tillie insistence that the Harry Street Greenhouse began offering fresh flowers to their customers. Eventually, Harry Street Greenhouse became Tillie's Flower Shop in the 1920s, when Tillie herself began running the store. For continued history go to www.tilliesflowers.com/aboutus
