Acer Gardens is a garden center that appears like a house until a sign on Wingthrop Road advertises annuals and perennials. A long driveway leads to a nursery with many species of flowers and shrubs in bloom. The succulent selection is amazing and prices are fair. The store sells a high‑quality custom soil blend that is far superior to commercial options. Diversity of plants is amazing; even if you don’t buy anything, walking around the grounds and greenhouses is enjoyable. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and the nursery is the best place to buy shrubs, flowers, and trees. The holiday container workshop offers beautiful Christmas centerpieces, poinsettia plants, and wreaths.
They offer such a great variety! All of their plants are meticulously cared for, and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Love coming here!
