The Orum Family
In 1969, entrepreneurs Peter and Irma Orum started Midwest
Groundcovers by rooting a few thousand cuttings in
friend and mentor, John Wilde’s
West Chicago backyard. Peter, trained in horticulture
in his native Denmark, immigrated to the US and found
his niche in America. Peter’s vision and
Irma’s administrative background provided an ideal foundation for
the infant company; their skills, planning and hard
work made it grow. |

continues to grow with ongoing development of new production areas.
A company ‘Always on the Grow’, Midwest Groundcovers
