Cleveland Garden Centers

By Sandy Mitchell, About.com

Find all the plants, vegetables, seeds, and supplies for a perfect Northeast Ohio garden. Cleveland has a wonderful variety of nurseries, garden centers, and plant stores. Take a look at your Guide's top picks of the area's garden centers.

1. Gale's Garden Centers

This gardening super-store has four locations around the city -- in Brunswick, Maple Heights, Westlake, and Willoughby Hills. The stores have everything from indoor and outdoor plants; trees and shrubs; fertilizer, mulch, and additives; decorative pots and containers; and an interesting gift wares department. All of the stores are well-stocked and have a friendly and helpful staff, but I prefer the Willoughby Hills location for variety and freshness.

2. Petitti Garden Centers

Owned by local grower, Angelo Petitti and his family, this chain of five Cleveland area stores offers a wide selection of plant material and accessories at affordable prices. The stores, located in Oakwood, Strongsville, Richmond Mall, Southland Center, and Maple Hts, have a huge yard filled with plants. The Strongsville location even has a restaurant. Petitti Garden Center grows many of the plants that they sell so their prices are often lower and quality higher than other garden centers.

3. Gali's Florist and Garden Center

Located on Chagrin Boulevard, just east of Warrensville Center Rd., Gali's combines an excellent selection of perennials, trees, and shrubs with a wide variety of stone and concrete garden benches, pots, and statuary with a florist shop, filled with ceramic pots, garden ornaments, holiday items, and fresh-cut flowers. It's always fun to browse here and I dare you to stop and not buy something.
Gali's Florist and Garden Center
21301 Chagrin Blvd.
Beachwood, OH 44122
216 921-1100

4. Rosby's Greenhouse and Berry Farm

Rosby's is located just off of I-480 in Brooklyn Heights. This 70-acre facility nestled against the Cuyahoga River features multiple greenhouses and a "pick-your-own" berry farm with raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Rosby's is a strong advocate of recycling garden material and organic gardening. They produce their own mulch, top soil, and compost for sale. A nice, friendly, family-run greenhouse. Well worth a visit.
