garden centers

Seedling shopping destinations

Garden centers are retail establishments selling plants, seeds, gardening tools, and related supplies.

Unlike hardware stores with garden sections, garden centers focus primarily on living plants and horticultural products: We picked up some tomato seedlings at the garden center.

Many offer seasonal items like Christmas trees or pumpkins, and some provide landscaping advice or services.
