Overview
Green Acre Plants is a small, family-run seasonal greenhouse that grows its own bedding plants for the home gardener. The operation has run continuously since at least 2001, offering a focused selection of locally grown transplants across two distinct selling windows each year.
What makes Green Acre Plants special?
A family greenhouse with a hyper-seasonal, grow-your-own identity sets this apart from year-round retail garden centers:
- Grows its own plants on-site across a multi-room greenhouse facility, with spring stock moving through a Big Room, Transplant Room, East Room, and Cacti Room.
- Spring season (mid-April through mid-May) covers annual flowers, a handful of labeled perennials, culinary herbs, and vegetable transplants, with notable depth in petunias (10+ varieties), geraniums, marigolds, and zinnias.
- A second selling season in July and August focuses exclusively on tomatoes, with 15+ named varieties including heirloom and hybrid options, unusual for a small seasonal operation.
- Herbs span seven culinary varieties; the vegetable catalog is tomato-focused with five pepper varieties rounding out the selection.
