About the greenhouse

A friend and family-run greenhouse since 1994.

Diane and her family have been growing hanging baskets, pansies, vegetable seedlings, and everything in between on Quarry Road for more than three decades. Some of our regulars have been coming back every spring for longer than that.

Most of what you see on the tables we grew ourselves. When a customer asks about a specific variety, we know it by name, how it performs, and whether it'll like the spot you're planting it in. That's the part of this work we still love after all these years.

We open the last Saturday of April every year. This season, that's Saturday, April 25, 2026. We'll leave a light on.

What we carry

Everything a garden needs, grown with care.

Petunias, calibrachoa, geraniums

Annuals & Hanging Baskets

Full baskets grown on-site. The kind that keep blooming right through August if you give them a little water and attention.

Pansies & Violas

Cool-season favorites ready the minute we open in April. Named varieties from growers we trust, not a generic six-pack.

Cabbage seedling starter packs labeled Early Jersey Wakefield, Golden Acre and Late Flat Dutch

Tomatoes, peppers, greens, herbs

Vegetable & Herb Seedlings

Mixed flats so you can grab exactly what fits your garden. Cabbage, kale, eggplant, and the rest, all raised here.

Perennials

Plants that settle in and come back. Our regulars will tell you the ones they put in years ago are still going strong.

Seeds & Garden Supplies

Starter packs, trays, soil, fertilizer. If you're heading out to plant this weekend, we probably have what you need.

Fall Arrangements

Unique seasonal arrangements we put together ourselves through September and October. No two look alike.

Why gardeners come back

Healthy plants, real knowledge, and the kind of value you remember.

Plants that thrive after they leave

Customers keep telling us their Kettle Lane plants flourish. Seven-year regulars aren't unusual. Neither are bearded iris success stories.

A genuinely deep variety

Named varieties, specific cultivars, mixed flats you can build yourself. Not the same four six-packs every hardware store stocks.

Staff who actually know plants

Diane and her team grow most of what they sell. Ask a question, get a real answer, not a polite shrug.

Honest value for the quality

One long-time customer put it best. You get the quality of the higher-priced greenhouses and more for your dollar.

What's in bloom

A year in the greenhouse, broken into honest windows.
