A unique, well stocked outdoor garden center, with very knowledgeable owners and staff. A fun place to browse– both inside and out. Have been coming for several years and have an entire yard and fire pit area full of their products. A real breath of fresh air run by local people–

Garden Station gets five(5) stars from me because they are the only nursery that hasn’t jerked me around in the past two years. I thought at first that their customer service was a bit awkward, but personalities vary. Garden Station is pass the Walmart and almost next to the fancy McDonald’s when entering the town so you’re bound to pass by Garden Station. It’s a great location for a business such as theirs. They are the smallest of the three nurseries in town but are better stocked with better looking plants and more variety than Musall’s and much easier to find than Musall’s and Norway Gardens. They are either the same price or slightly cheaper than the other nurseries, especially for their hanging flowers. They have the smaller hanging pots with a greater variety of combinations. Their set-up is impressively simple and handy. The owners are very nice and want to be helpful. It’s a family owned and family run business so you will see the same people there everyday. They also have a landscaping business which we had the pleasure of working with, and we are so thrilled with out new driveway and new retaining wall between our front yard rock garden and our lawn. The landscaping part of their business is name GardenScapes. After getting quotes and outrageous ideas that we didn’t even ask for from those landscaping contractors who would even return our calls and come out to our home to give us a quote, Tom came out in 24 hours and gave us a quote the next day. He started working a day later and completed putting in belgium pavers along and 2″ of size 11 gravel over our 95’X30’ driveway. Then, he dug a trench and built a 2′ high by 30′ long retaining wall. Total price for all that was only $ 2,450.00, including material. I’m happy to have a go-to, neighborhood garden center and nursery, but I’m thrilled and relieved to have a trusted, excellent landscaper who will listen to my ideas, offer ideas of his own and execute to the letter what I have in mind for my property. His prices are dirt cheap compared to everyone else I received a quote from so GardenScapes will always have my business and be my first call.
