I absolutely love the growing place! I frequent them often in the summer, but I had no idea they open in their gift shop in the winter, which is super cute. They have a huge array of different kinds of plants, including succulents, herbs, bushes, trees, flowers, fruits/veggies, and more! I would highly recommend them, their prices are fair as well.
Laurie did 400 sq feet landscape designs for my front (April) and back (July) yards. Vince, their landscaper, did the planting. I have had blooms from April thru currently, mid Oct. My yard has been transformed. The plants are beautiful and thriving. We are very pleased. I highly recommend the Growing Place!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars – A Gardener's Paradise! (September 2025)
I stumbled upon The Growing Place while searching for unique native plants to spruce up my backyard, and wow—what a discovery! This isn't just a garden center; it's like stepping into a living, breathing dreamscape. The sprawling displays of perennials, shrubs, herbs, and organic veggies are so thoughtfully arranged that I spent over an hour just wandering and getting inspired. They had exactly the pollinator-friendly natives I was after, which you won't find at the big-box stores.
