Why Not to Buy Your Plants from a Big Box Store

As Spring rounds the corner, it's tempting to grab some plants from a big box store while picking up milk or peanut butter. Resist the impulse!

Local garden centers and greenhouses, like Grove Landscape Center, are a much better option for plants, trees, and flowers, whether you're looking for annuals, hanging baskets, vegetable plants, patio containers, bushes, or trees. Here's a closer look at why:

1) Grove Landscape Center employees are very knowledgeable about plants. If you even see an employee in the garden section of a big box store, it's not a given that they will have any knowledge or experience with lawns and gardens — they might just have been reassigned from the plumbing section. Grove is a landscaper owned and operated greenhouse, so you can trust their advice.

2) Grove Landscape Center locally sources their plants. That means the plants are acclimated to our weather and climate — and you're supporting multiple regional businesses just by shopping at Grove.

3) Grove Landscape Center offers bulk options and custom orders. Who wants to load 20 bags of mulch into the back of their vehicle? Grove offers bulk mulch and plants, and they can install the mulch, a new lawn, or an irrigation system for you!

Grove Landscape Center is a preferred landscape designer in Central Minnesota. They apply decades of knowledge to each custom job and to maintaining their garden center. Let them help your dream yard become a reality!
