The Commercial Growers of Wisconsin (CGW) has honored Kurt Dramm with induction into their Hall of Fame. His name will now be displayed at the Boerner Botanical Gardens Visitor Center in Hales Corners, Wisconsin.
The CGW is an organization comprising of wholesale and retail plant production business owners, employees, greenhouse suppliers, horticultural students, and other advocates dedicated to the advancement of Wisconsin's horticulture and floriculture industries.
Kurt Dramm was awarded this honor in recognition of his contributions and lasting impact on the horticulture and floriculture industry throughout his entrepreneurial career. Kurt and his brother John co-founded the Dramm Company in 1968, producing garden and greenhouse watering products. Their mother, Perdita, managed the business from her basement when she wasn't working as a librarian.
Following John's early passing, Kurt led the Dramm Corporation for over 45 years, expanding it into four segments: Commercial Greenhouse Equipment, Retail Gardening Products, Drammatic Organic Fertilizer, and DRAMMwater for greenhouse water treatment systems.
Kurt passed away on May 16, 2023. His 2024 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony occurred on October 9 at Natural Beauty Growers in Denmark, Wisconsin. Kurt's daughter, Heidi, son Hans, and wife Marlene received the award on his behalf. The Dramm family expressed deep gratitude and humility in accepting this honor in Kurt's memory.
