Al's Garden & Home has been a beloved fixture in the greater Portland, Oregon area for nearly 75 years, evolving from a humble fruit stand to four retail stores and an online presence. The business prides itself on growing over 80% of its plants, trees, and shrubs, providing an impressive selection to inspire both indoor and outdoor spaces. Customers appreciate the inviting atmosphere, enhanced by live music and a friendly staff that is knowledgeable and eager to assist. While the outdoor furniture and some items may be on the pricier side, the quality and overall value are recognized as worthwhile. Visitors often leave feeling satisfied with their purchases and uplifted by the experience, making Al's a great destination for plant enthusiasts and those seeking unique garden and patio decor. Additionally, the store features a clothing and gift boutique, along with a coffee shop, adding to the charm of this extensive garden center.
More than you would expect from a garden store. In addition to a huge variety of plants, they have decorations, outdoor furniture and a cafe. They had ceramic orchid pots but did not have the inserts. Staff was friendly. Prices were reasonable, but even better on sale. Free paved parking. Clean restrooms.

I love that they load your soil for you! I had to help though because I couldn't just stand by and watch him take all the credit. ;)

Enjoyed a very nice little fashion show tonight with wine and music. This family owned nursery also has gifts, patio furniture, a little cafe and quality clothes!
