Cahoon Nursery was established in 1948 by Dr. and Mrs. Schwartz,
who had an avid interest in plants and gardening. The nursery at
that point was considered to be a small production nursery. In 1959
Dominic Jannazo bought the nursery from the Schwartz’s.

Mr. Jannazo continued operating Cahoon Nursery as a production
nursery. In 1970 the state of Ohio acquired 2/3 of the nursery's
acreage for the construction of I-90. Because of the reduction of
space, the nursery at that time shifted its focus from production to
retail sales and became a garden center.

In 1986 Richard Bartsche purchased Cahoon Nursery from Mr.
Jannazo, and has continued to operate the nursery as the area's
premier "Gardener's Garden Center", with emphasis on customer
service and plant selection.
