Owned and operated by the Alfeldt family, the farm operates as a choose-and-cut destination during the Christmas season and adds a secondary nursery window in spring and fall for balled-and-burlapped trees. **What makes Alfeldt's Nursery & Christmas Tree Farm special?** A working tree farm with decades of continuous growing history sets this operation apart from lot-based or pre-cut retailers. A few things worth knowing before visiting: - **Field varieties**: White Pine and Scotch Pine anchor the choose-and-cut field, with Norway Spruce, Green Giant Arborvitae, and Leyland Cypress also available. Fresh-cut Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir, and Douglas Fir ship in for the season as an alternative. - **Dug and balled trees**: Balled-and-burlapped White Pine and Norway Spruce are available during the Christmas season; spring and fall bring a broader rotation of B&B hardwoods, spruce, and pine. - **Greenery and gifts**: Beyond trees, the farm stocks wreaths, garland, grave blankets, grave pillows, greens bundles, swags, sill sitters, and crosses, alongside an in-house gift shop carrying ornaments, tree toppers, skirts, and stands. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - For many customers, visiting the farm is a multigenerational tradition — reviewers describe returning year after year, bringing children to the same fields where their own parents first took them. - Grave blankets and pillows draw a loyal annual following, with customers noting they return specifically for this product each season. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/alfeldts-nursery-christmas-tree-farm-oakdale 43feaeeecd7b2fe2ae2e26d917b6477d Sun, 24 May 2026 02:04:03 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Alla's Greenhouse and Garden is a small, family-run greenhouse that grows its own hanging baskets, planters, and succulent arrangements rather than reselling wholesale stock.

The operation serves homeowners, landscape contractors, and builders out of the same site. **What makes Ben's Nursery & Landscape Supply special?** A plant-forward inventory paired with a stocked stone and material yard makes the property a one-stop for planting and the surrounding hardscape. - The plant offering leans heavy on perennials and trees — thousands of perennials available in quart and gallon containers, hundreds of trees including fruit, shade, and ornamental varieties, with Japanese maples and conifers called out as house specialties. - A native and pollinator-friendly bent runs through the perennial section: native spiderwort, peonies, wisteria, and clematis appear alongside more conventional landscape varieties. - The landscape-supply yard carries stone, boulders, natural edging, decorative rock, mulch, and topsoil — with distinctive stone sourced on buying trips to the Tennessee mountains. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Shoppers describe the on-site knowledge as deep but unpushy — staff offer detailed plant guidance without pressuring sales. - Regulars who have shopped multiple regional nurseries describe the conifer and Japanese maple selection as a standout in the metro. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/bens-nursery-landscape-supply-valles-mines a8ecbabae151abacba7dbde04f761c37 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:56 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Bonacker Farm is a House Springs greenhouse and garden-center operation that produces a substantial portion of its own inventory on-site. The business pairs plant retail with a landscape-materials and yard-waste recycling yard at a separate address. **What makes Bonacker Farm special?** A full grow-to-retail loop — greenhouse propagation, retail sales, and yard-waste recycling feeding bulk mulch production — gives the operation an integrated character. - Vegetable starts are a clear specialty: 3-inch pots of healthy, already-fruiting plants appear in the greenhouse early in the season, often paired with sale pricing on volume buys. - The perennial and annual offering covers hanging baskets, fern baskets, petunias, delphiniums, and lavender — driven by the on-site cutting orders that arrive each spring. - Bulk bark mulch is produced on-site from recycled yard waste, with new piles turned and aged through the off-season for the following year's spring sales. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Shoppers describe the vegetable starts as a clear value play — tremendous quality for the price, with healthy plants ready to set in. - Fall visitors return specifically for the mum selection as the year winds down. - Spring buyers note the hanging-basket lineup, with occasional buy-one-get-one promotions on bedding baskets. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/bonacker-farms-house-springs f9028faec74be6ec9b852b0a542e2f39 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:05 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Bonacker's Garden Center is the retail-storefront side of a House Springs greenhouse and landscape-materials operation. The site grows much of its own inventory on premises, with a tight, owner-run footprint rather than a sprawling chain-style garden center. **What makes Bonacker's Garden Center special?** A grow-on-site retail model gives the inventory a season-tracking rhythm — fresh cuttings, hand-tended rows, and small-batch availability that shifts week to week. - The greenhouse rotates through petunia rows, fern baskets, and fresh cutting orders across the spring season, with vegetable starts in 3-inch pots running through the early planting window. - Perennials and pollinator-friendly varieties get attention from staff well-versed in matching plants to specific garden conditions — hummingbird plants are a known counter-staple. - Fall brings a strong mum and fall-decor turnover, with the schedule tracking the season's natural rhythm rather than holding a fixed-shape inventory year-round. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Repeat visitors call out the fall mum selection — the variety of colors and sizes earns specific notice when the season hits. - Shoppers planning pollinator beds appreciate the staff's plant-matching knowledge, particularly around varieties that draw hummingbirds. - Some visitors note that hours can shift outside the posted window — confirming availability before a long drive saves frustration. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/bonackers-garden-center-house-springs d58072be2820e8682c0a27c0518e805e Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:56 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries Urban plant nursery located in a rehabbed 1920s automotive warehouse in St. Louis's Central West End.

The shop sits closer to a sculpture-and-gift destination than a conventional plant retailer. **What makes Bronx Zoo Boutique special?** A dense, gallery-style retail layout — with sculptural pieces, found objects, and historical recreations packed into a small footprint — gives the boutique an experiential character. - The garden-decor selection runs unusual: handcrafted metal sculptures, wind spinners, statues, obelisks, and accent pieces aimed at home, yard, and business installations. - Inventory leans one-of-a-kind rather than catalog-stocked, with each visit turning up different pieces drawn from a wide-ranging sourcing pattern. - Occasional classes appear on the calendar, expanding the role of the shop beyond pure retail. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Visitors describe the experience as wandering an art installation as much as shopping a store — the dense, eclectic layout earns repeated comparisons to a small museum. - Long-term shoppers credit the owner-led curation for surfacing pieces that feel impossible to find elsewhere in the metro. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/bronx-zoo-boutique-belleville 632cee946db83e7a52ce5e8d6f0fed35 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:03 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries ## Overview Chalily is a specialty water-garden nursery focused on aquatic plants, koi and goldfish, pond supplies, and water features.

Inventory leans deep on aquatics rather than broad on terrestrial nursery stock, with services extending from selection through installation and seasonal pond maintenance. - Stocks a broad water-plant catalog, with a notable lotus selection sold via spring pre-order bundles, alongside aquatic plant pots, aquatic soil and fertilizer, pond netting, water treatments, and algae control - Carries fountains across formats — disappearing fountains, basalt and ceramic styles, bubbling boulders and bird baths, faux-rock and faux-wood waterfalls, and floating fountains — in stone and lightweight-resin options - Offers pond services including pond cleanout, fountain installation, equipment rental, and pond design and maintenance, plus seasonal pre-order bundles built around themes like pollinator gardens and night-blooming displays https://stlouisgardener.com/place/chalily-wildwood 6e7b33fdea3adc80ebd648fffb665bb8 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:56 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries For over 30 years Chesterfield Valley Nursery has been creating amazing landscape designs and bringing them to life in Greater St. Louis & St. Charles communities.

The retail side closes mid-summer and through winter, while the landscaping side runs year-round. **What makes Colors of Spring special?** A neighborhood-corner-nursery scale with hands-on landscape services — staff routinely come on-site to plant or replant — sets the operation apart from a pure retail garden center. - The retail offering centers on hanging baskets (calibrachoa, wave petunias) alongside annuals, perennials, and roses across the spring window. - Trees, shrubs, and an indoor houseplant selection round out the inventory, drawing regulars who treat the shop as a one-stop for a planting season. - A landscape installation arm runs year-round — staff handle border planting, replacements, and full-bed installs on customer property. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Long-time customers describe a deep service experience — staff who treat the install like their own yard and replant when things don't take. - The short retail season is a recurring note — regulars plan their plant runs to coincide with the spring and fall windows because the summer gap is real. - Prices skew higher than big-box garden departments, but repeat shoppers credit the service and selection for justifying the premium. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/colors-of-spring-st-louis f1c1592588411002af340cbaedd6fc33 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:53 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries Community Seed & Feed has been a part of this community for over 100 years.

That sourcing ethos, sustained for more than five decades, positions Drummond Nursery as both a retail destination and a wholesale supplier to local garden centers and the Missouri Botanical Garden gift shop. - Four greenhouses stocked year-round with haworthias, agaves, aloes, desert roses, crown of thorns, and a rotating selection of unusual specimens - Customized dish gardens available as a specialty service - Seasonal inventory rounds out the range with annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, and vegetable plants - Regular vendor at Missouri Botanical Garden cactus and succulent shows **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Visitors consistently praise the breadth of the cactus and succulent collection — multiple greenhouses of specimens in all sizes and price points - Shoppers note the nursery draws plant enthusiasts from across the region, with many making the 45-minute drive from the St. Louis metro specifically for the selection - Reviewers highlight knowledgeable service and competitive pricing alongside the depth of the specialty collection - Customers find both familiar varieties and genuinely unusual specimens — the kind of stock that appeals to collectors looking to add something new https://stlouisgardener.com/place/fred-drummond-nursery-de-soto ede7e2b6d13a41ddf9f4bdef84fdc737 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:04:02 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Fred's Greenhouse & Nursery is a long-running family-run greenhouse in Sorento, Illinois, in operation for more than 25 years. The shop pairs a substantial annual and perennial offering with a working landscaping side, with reduced off-season hours running on appointment. **What makes Fred's Greenhouse & Nursery special?** An unusually deep hanging-basket inventory — more than 2,000 baskets across flowering, fern, and foliage varieties — gives the greenhouse a clear retail anchor that draws drive-from-the-metro shoppers. - Hanging baskets come in multiple container styles: 10-inch plastic, wire baskets, and moss baskets in three sizes — a variety unusual for greenhouses at this scale. - The plant offering covers annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees alongside vegetable starts during the growing season. - A landscaping side handles garden maintenance and lawn mowing, with the greenhouse and landscape operations running out of the same property. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Shoppers describe the basket and bedding-flower selection as consistently healthy and well-presented across visits. - Returning customers single out the hydrangeas and broader perennial inventory for quality matching the basket lineup. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/freds-greenhouse-nursery-sorento 3b3dbaf68507998acd6a5a5254ab2d76 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:07 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Frisella Nursery is a 30-acre, family-operated destination nursery in Defiance with a greenhouse, outdoor growing areas, and retail spaces. Most of the perennials and trees sold here are grown on-site or at the company's farm in Marthasville. **What makes Frisella Nursery special?** - Best known for its tree and shrub selection — including unique specimen trees in large sizes, evergreens, and flowering varieties like dogwoods, redbuds, crabapples, maples, and oaks. - Strong native-plant focus with staff specialists, an extensive hosta selection, and a perennial program almost entirely grown on the property. - A greenhouse devoted to houseplants and pottery — common and rare varieties with regular new arrivals, plus a year-round succulent and cactus section. - A long-running fall and holiday program — pumpkins and a Fall Festival in autumn, then thousands of holiday lights, trees, ornaments, and photo stations through Christmas — paired with an active workshop program and garden consultations. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/frisella-nursery-defiance 1905aedab9bf2477edc068a355bba31a Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:55 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Garden District STL is a curated boutique with two storefronts — South Grand and City Foundry — that pairs a small but rotating houseplant offering with home goods, gifts, and locally made products. The shops sit closer to a curated gallery than a conventional plant retailer. **What makes Garden District STL special?** A gift-shop framing built around plants — with free repotting on every plant purchase and a deliberate emphasis on local artisans — gives the shops a different shape from a stocked plant store. - Houseplants and herbs arrive in 4-inch pots that pair with the shop's own pot inventory, with staff repotting purchases on the spot for no extra cost. - The non-plant side runs deep: candles, teas, ceramics, jewelry, art prints, stickers, apparel, and STL-themed gift pieces fill out the curated mix. - A seasonal-decor rotation runs through the calendar, with holiday ornaments and themed planters drawing repeat visits at gift-buying windows. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Visitors describe the experience as a destination shopping trip — a place to browse for unique gifts as much as houseplants. - Repeat shoppers single out the ceramic and seasonal-decor selections as distinctive against more conventional plant or gift retailers. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/garden-district-stl-st-louis fa83a11a198d5a7f0bf77a1987bcd006 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:05 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries Premier urban garden and retail center in St. Louis since 1996, offering plants, gardening supplies, and outdoor living needs for home gardeners and green industry professionals https://stlouisgardener.com/place/garden-heights-nursery-st-louis 670e8a43b246801ca1eaca97b3e19189 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:57 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Green Gardens is a long-running Truesdale-area greenhouse and garden center — roughly four decades in operation — that pairs a working greenhouse with bulk mulch delivery. The retail side leans toward annual and perennial inventory tucked behind a greenhouse not visible from the road. **What makes Green Gardens special?** A combined plant-and-mulch delivery operation gives the shop a different shape from a pure retail garden center — bedding plants and bulk material can land at a customer's site on the same day. - The greenhouse carries stunning annuals and hanging flowers across the spring and summer window, with perennials available alongside. - Bulk mulch delivery is a real second offering — same-day and next-day delivery are documented, with the driver placing material precisely where the customer needs it. - The shop operates at a small scale with hands-on staff — a few employees handling both retail and delivery side rather than a sprawling chain layout. **What fellow gardeners are saying** - Returning customers credit the delivery experience for both plants and mulch — the unloading is precise and the response time genuinely fast. - Shoppers describe the greenhouse stock as quality-first, with annuals worth the trip even though the shop sits off the visible roadside. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/green-gardens-truesdale 2dace78f80bc92e6d7493423d729448e Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:54 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Greenscape Gardens is a full-service garden center that grew out of a 1970s lawn-and-tree-care operation and transitioned into retail in 1994.

In 2004 the operation expanded to add a two-acre stoneyard, giving the business its dual identity as both a plant destination and a hardscape material supplier. **What makes Hindley Nursery & Stoneyard special?** Few garden centers combine a working greenhouse with a full hardscape yard under one roof. The result is a destination that covers planting and hardscaping in a single trip: - **Greenhouse-grown hanging baskets and specialty plants** — the greenhouse produces extra-large 14" hanging baskets and specialty annuals and tropicals grown on site, rather than sourced from a wholesaler. - **Stoneyard with notable breadth** — 35 varieties of decorative gravel, engineered retaining wall blocks, pavers, flagstone, and large boulders sourced from across the country, plus six bulk mulch and compost options. - **Nursery stock with rarity** — the plant side stocks shrubs, perennials, large-caliber trees, and unique conifers, with a particular emphasis on uncommon varieties. - **Full-service landscaping** — design and installation services are available, extending the business beyond retail into project work. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/hindley-nursery-stoneyard-godfrey 013a006f03dbc5392effeb8f18fda755 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:02:04 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries Garden center, nursery and florist offering a wide selection of trees, shrubs, aquatic plants, native and non-native perennials, annuals, tropical plants, and floral services.

The operation is family-run with origins in a handful of plants shared across generations, grown out into a specialist nursery with 500+ unique hosta varieties on-site. **What makes Hostas on the Bluff special?** A specialist depth that few regional nurseries match — paired with a walk-the-property display-garden experience — gives the visit a character closer to a botanical destination than a stocked retail floor. - The hosta inventory runs 243 current shop listings, sortable by attributes including Hosta of the Year (23), Slug Resistant (91), Sun Tolerant (88), Patented (55), Fragrant (3), and a leaf-color palette spanning blue, gold-chartreuse, green, white-center, white-margin, blue-center, purple, and silver. - The property pairs two greenhouses with a hillside display garden and 20,000+ potted plants ready for purchase — shoppers walk the grounds, and a back-deck overlook frames a view of St. Louis. - A smaller sun-perennial bench rounds out the offering with phlox, daylilies, and sedum across the spring-through-fall window. - Mail order ships bare-root to the lower 48 from April through September, with pickup and on-site sales running during the open season; the grounds also host garden club meetings, yoga classes, and weddings. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/hostas-on-the-bluff-fairview-heights e07413354875be01a996dc560274708e Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:53 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Joe's Market Basket is a family-owned Godfrey garden center and landscape supply yard that pairs a retail plant floor with a working bulk-materials operation. The shop covers spring planting, hardscape projects, and seasonal flower runs from a single Humbert Road site. **What makes Joe's Market Basket special?** The combination of a full plant retail floor with a bulk landscape supply yard gives the operation a dual identity that most neighborhood garden centers don't carry: - The tree and shrub side is described as one of the most diverse selections in the area, alongside Papa Joe's branded vegetable plants, organic herb starts, flower and vegetable seeds, annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, and tropical plants sourced directly from Florida for Midwest humidity. - Cemetery flowers are a named specialty — the business identifies itself as one of the remaining few local suppliers — sitting alongside statuary, yard ornaments, and self-contained fountains for finished garden installs. - The bulk yard claims the largest gravel variety in the area, with multiple shredded mulches (hardwood, cedar, red, brown, black, compost, Kiddie Kushion), bagged Nature Scapes color-enhanced mulch, topsoil, natural stone, and engineered wall-system pavers from Romanstone, Keystone, and Versa-Lok — all sold in bagged, by-the-yard, or pickup-bed quantities. - Tree planting and container planting are offered as on-site services, with delivery available for mulch, rock, soil, pavers, and stone to home or jobsite. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/joes-market-basket-godfrey e57c6b956a6521b28495f2886ca0977a Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:53 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries **Overview** Joe's Market Basket is a multi-department grocery that runs a substantial garden center alongside its supermarket floor. The garden side stocks everything from bedding plants and perennials to bulk mulch, natural stone, and gravel, with delivery service available for landscape materials. **What makes Joe's Market Basket special?** The garden center stands out as a rare hybrid operation — full grocery and full landscape supplier under one roof. A few specific differentiators set it apart from standalone nurseries: - Tree and shrub selection described on the site as "one of the most diverse in the area," complemented by a named Tree Planting service. - Tropical plants sourced direct from Florida, noted for their suitability to Midwest humidity conditions. - One of the remaining few local suppliers of cemetery flowers — a niche service category with limited regional availability. - Bulk and bagged landscape materials covering multiple mulch types, topsoil, potting mixes, natural stone, pavers, and what the site calls "the largest variety of gravel in the area," all available for delivery. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/joes-market-basket-troy 86b122d4358357d834a87ce618a55de0 Sun, 24 May 2026 01:59:53 +0000 Garden Centers & Nurseries Kurtz Nursery and Topsoil is a purveyor of landscape supply materials in St. Louis, offering topsoil, mulch, compost, and turf grass delivery since 1925.
