Nurseries & Gardening in Williston, VT

“I used to go to Tractor Supply, never again! Guy's F&Y is Family owned, better ethically than TS, has incredible staff, unbeatable prices, supports local, and is a once stop shop for my indoor pets and chicken needs, not to mention stuff for the garden! They've gained a lifetime shopper from me.”

“Update Jan 14, 2026
I stopped in today to peruse the Outlet area and have lunch at the Garden of Eatin (yum!). While waiting for my Vermonter, I noticed this cow ... with its winter blanket on :)

Who doesn't love going to Gardeners Supply?! I enjoy the Intervale store a lot, but I usually go to the Williston store. My first favorite stop is Garden of Eatin. Everything made there is delicious, and eating next to the koi pond is so pleasant and peaceful. My next stop is always the Outlet area. All of what's there is on sale, but if you check carefully, you can sometimes find a really great deal. I've gotten some of their square tomato cages at a fraction of regular price. Tomato and squash protectors and grow bags and portable greenhouse and shade cloth frames and fabric raised beds and and and.
Elsewhere there are Air plants, flowering plants, leafy plants, landscape plants ... they have LOTS to choose from and excellent advise.
There are lots of great gift ideas throughout the store.
UPDATE 2/1/2025:
Still one of my favorite places to spend part of a day. I totally lucked out last week: my sweetheart gave me a 75 gift certificate. I've had a tab open in my browser for 2 years so I can monitor the price of a tall, narrow VegTrug greenhouse, always out of my price range. OMG, it's at the Outlet for $90!!!!! ??”

“Bought my washing machine from Williston, VT's Home Depot. I can't say enough about this store's excellent service. From my phone call to customer service at corp headquarters, to the delivery and service people of my washer, to the product itself. Excellent. Great communication (speedy and thorough,) professional delivery people, and excellent communication from all areas of my purchase and delivery, HD is top notch.”

“Today I went looking for a hanger for a decorative plate, everyone I interacted with was so helpful, generous with their time and patient as I did not know what I wanted. I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone was. I almost didn’t want to leave the store today, I did meet a very nice staff member in the plant section and we sang a line of a song playing over intercom. I felt like I was home. Thank you everyone for making a female not fee out of place in a man cave. 😂.”
