The store pairs a full hardware operation with a substantial seasonal plant offering and a deep gift-and-decor section. What makes R&R Ace special? A nearly century-long community identity, paired with departments unusual for a hardware store, including a greenhouse, a charming upper-floor sundries section, and a wide gift selection, gives the operation a destination-shop character. A spring greenhouse and courtyard provide a wide choice of plants during the spring planting window, with the Lawn and Garden department running year-round. The store carries Scotts, EGO, Toro, and other named brands across lawn care, power tools, and outdoor living, with potting mix, fertilizers, pest control, and bagged soil filling out the supply side. A seasonal-decor rotation runs through the calendar, wreaths and holiday decor in winter and spring decor in the warmer months, alongside windchimes, gift items, and home decor across the year. What fellow gardeners are saying Long-time visitors describe the experience as stepping back in time, a small-town hardware store that has held its character across decades. Customers single out the staff and the breadth of stock as defining features, the operation carries a little of everything across hardware, gifts, and garden. https://stlouisgardener.com/place/r-r-ace-st-clair 8d6dc35e506fc23349dd10ee68dabb64 Sun, 24 May 2026 02:06:05 +0000 Landscape Supply Overview The Wishing Well is a family-owned, family-operated concrete statuary manufacturer and retailer that has been casting and selling ornamental garden pieces for over 30 years.

What makes The Wishing Well special? The combination of on-site manufacturing and direct-sale pricing is the core differentiator. Customers routinely note that the price-quality ratio is difficult to match anywhere else, new or secondhand.
