Garden centers go through transitions as the seasons change. This year, we are experiencing many of those changes now, with the added transition of dropping one department as we increase the footprint of several others.
Our long-time patio manager, John Hessler, decided to retire after a 50-year career at Valley View Farms. We miss him and wish him the best! The space that previously held the patio furniture has been turned over to our pottery department, which had been relegated to the back of the store and outside. Wow, the selection of pottery is impressive!

What amazing colors and designs |
With the move, our flower and vegetable seed area has been expanded, and potting mix displays have been enlarged.

All of the supplies gardeners need |
Outside, tropical plants will eventually take over much of the old pottery space. Best of all, we will expand our areas of perennials, trees, and shrubs to include hundreds of Native Plants.

A great way to help our pollinators. |
We are excited by these transitions and moving forward with new ideas, terrific plants, and unique merchandise. Stop in and let us know what you think of the changes.
