We have been a trusted source of quality merchandise and gardening information since 1923. Our two locations in Bethesda, MD and our Great Falls location are convenient to Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.

We are proud of our commitment to EarthWise gardening. EarthWise gardening means adopting good gardening practices so plants flourish naturally, without reliance on chemical pesticides. Our goal is to educate our staff and customers about sound horticultural methods and the use of alternative products.

The garden gift department, including hats, gloves, pots, fountains, garden accouterments and home and garden accents is a gardener's delight!
