TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Perfect Plants Nursery was named to Florida State University's annual Seminole 100 during the 5th anniversary of the ceremony on February 19th, 2022, at FSU's University Center Club in Doak Campbell Stadium.
The Seminole 100, presented by Florida State University, the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, and the FSU Alumni Association honors and celebrates the achievements of top-tier FSU alumni entrepreneurs around the world. The Seminole 100 ranks the fastest-growing, FSU alumni-owned businesses each year, calculated each company's compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past three years to generate the ranking. It promotes fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in all FSU alumni across our campus.
Perfect Plants Nursery was honorably ranked #2 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 218% and continues to position itself for future growth.
Perfect Plants Nursery, started as a small farm stand on the side of the Kantor family's nursery. With over 40+ years of generational experience, the little shop evolved into an e-commerce plant retailer that now ships thousands of trees, shrubs, perennials, and houseplants around the country. The family farm has now expanded to the production of soils and gardening accessories in the last few years, making it a one-stop shop for any landscaping or garden projects. Since the launch of Perfect Plant's website (http://www.myperfectplants.com) in 2015, the nursery has flourished by offering the highest quality plants available.
Both Alex & Natalie Kantor, siblings and co-owners, graduated from Florida State University in 2012 and 2003 respectively. Alex graduated with a degree in business management and Natalie graduated with a degree in fashion merchandising. Garnet & Gold runs in their veins!
"What a celebration it was to be able to recognize this huge accomplishment with my whole family and network of FSU alumni. Florida State has and always will be a huge part of my life. It is an achievement that our company and our family will be proud of for generations to come. Being acknowledged as the #2 spot in the Seminole 100 this year is attributed to our incredible team of hardworking employees. We couldn't have done it without them." Alex Kantor, co-owner of Perfect Plants.
