OUR ROOTS
Five Generations of Growing Excellence
Clearview Horticultural Products is a family business built on passion, perseverance, and a love for plants—especially clematis. What began as a dream in 1970 has grown into one of the world’s leading clematis propagators, now proudly led by the 4th and 5th generations of the Wein family.
The early years laid the groundwork. In 1970, Fred Wein Sr., his wife Sidney Mary, his mother Gladys, and her husband Charlie Barron purchased the land on 56th Avenue and began building greenhouses. With Charlie and his father Will Barron’s expertise in growing Clematis, combined with Fred Sr.’s business drive, the foundations of Clearview were firmly established.
In the 1980s, Fred Jr. and Rob Wein joined the family business and ushered in a new era of expansion. With a focus on quality, innovation, and a strong breeding program, they helped Clearview grow from a regional operation into an international clematis supplier. Their combined leadership helped scale production to over one million square feet of greenhouse space, while never compromising on the values that built the business.
Today, Clearview continues to thrive under the involvement of the 5th generation: Rob Wein Jr. leads sustainability and growing practices, focusing on healthy plants and responsible production. Wes Wein oversees sales and operations, helping guide the company in a competitive and fast-paced market. Dustin Wein manages systems and finance, keeping the business efficient, organized, and ready for the future. This new generation brings fresh thinking, new technologies, and a shared commitment to the Clearview legacy.
Fred Senior’s vision and values continue to guide every decision we make. Sidney Mary remains involved, ensuring we stay grounded in integrity, attention to detail, and a belief in doing things the right way. At Clearview, family isn’t just a part of our history, it’s our future. And through it all, we remain committed to the simple philosophy we started with:
Quality products. Outstanding service. Unmatched selection.
