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.
Nice clean well organized store and nursery. Very helpful when we first walked thru the door till we walked out. Knowledgeable staff on potting soil for the tropical bulbs (red majestic giant taro) we were potting.

Love the vibe (except the holiday singers - kinda pitchy, actually super pitchy), love the selection, love the frequent sales, member rewards and bonus dollars.
