Garden Center

Looking for an unusual shrub or perennial?  Need mulch, topsoil or stone? Our unique Garden Center is conveniently located in North Buffalo and, for more than 50 years, has served as a magnet for garden enthusiasts from all over Western New York.

Our hours in the garden shop for the month of July will be:
Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm; Saturday 9am to 5pm; Sunday 10am to 4pm.

From trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials and bulbs to a full line of products from pesticides and Round Up to grass seed and pottery, our Garden Center has it all! Plus, we sell and deliver both bagged and bulk mulch, high-quality shredded topsoil and pea stones, round decorative earth-colored stones and #1 crushed stones.

In addition to providing the highest quality products, we also have an expert, caring staff – including certified nursery and landscape professionals – ready to answer any questions you may have about garden design, plant selection, disease identification and more. We would also be happy to assist you in selecting and potting any container to create a beautiful arrangement personalized to fit your needs.

Our Garden Center is an excellent resource for gardeners of any level, from novice to accomplished “green thumbs” alike. Whether you are looking to create a new garden or expand and maintain an existing one, come visit our garden oasis in the city.

Christmas Season

Be sure to visit our Garden Center during the Christmas holidays, when it’s transformed into a winter wonderland. We sell Christmas trees, fresh-cut greens, wreaths and poinsettias.  Plus, we are one of the few Garden Centers in Western New York to offer in-home delivery and set-up service of Christmas trees, which takes all the worry and stress out of Christmas tree shopping.
