 Annuals
All of the annual plants sold at Stan's-from flowering annuals, to hanging baskets, to the Simply Beautiful TM and Proven WinnersTM lines - are grown in our 4-acre, Buffalo Road greenhouse range. What does this mean to you, the gardener? First, it allows us to display our annuals on raised benches, in climate-controlled greenhouses - so your shopping experience is convenient & comfortable. It ensures that our plants are the freshest & healthiest you'll find. Our size allows us to offer you the widest selection of varieties, sizes, and colors - so you can find exactly what you're looking for. And, since we grow what we sell our staff has a level of expertise you won't find anywhere else.

 Bonsai
Bonsai is the art of training potted trees in a way that creates the impression of a much larger and older tree shaped by the forces of nature. There are hundreds of species of trees that can be used to create bonsai, some with vastly different care requirements. Mass-produced bonsai are often little more than seedlings hastily pruned and literally glued into their pots for quick sale. Stan's, on the other hand, emphasizes easy care varieties like ficus and Chinese elms, purchased from reputable national companies. We also offer the supplies and advice to help you enjoy your living work of art for years to come.

 Mary's Gardens
Stan's Garden Center now offers information for customers who are interested in planting a "Mary Garden". This is a garden dedicated to Mary, the mother of God, which can allow one to have daily reminders and devotional meditations for the Blessed Virgin Mary. Displays and lists of the plant selections are available and folklore and legends.

 Tropicals
Stan's carries a veritable jungle of tropical plants - from miniatures for terrariums and dish gardens to towering floor plants. Our greenhouses shelter humidity-loving ferns and drought tolerant cacti & succulents. We also carry a wide spectrum of blooming indoor plants, both year-round and seasonal - African violets (including the popular mini-violets), cyclamen, hibiscus, and our "Home Grown" poinsettias. And, of course we offer soils, pots, fertilizers, sprays, and advice to keep your jungle healthy.

 Vegetables & Herbs
If your "taste" in gardening runs toward things that taste good, Stan's is the only name you need to know. Our selection of vegetables* and herbs runs from Arugula to Zucchini, and most everything in between. (And for those crops like peas, beans, and root crops that don't transplant well, our Retail Store offers seeds for direct sowing). We also make successive plantings of our vegetable and herb crops - so if you don't get your garden planted by Memorial Day (and some years it really pays to wait!) you don't have to settle for half-dead leftovers.
Stan's also carries a wide variety of heirloom tomatoes. This is just a partial list of the varieties that will be available this year. Check back often for an updated list.
Heirloom Tomatoes: Marianna's Peace, Box Car Willie, Big White Pink Stripe, Sunsets Red Horizon, Blondkopfchen, Russian Big Roma, Hawaiian Currant, Koralik, Long Keeper, Broad Ripple Yellow Currant, Bush Beefsteak, Gold Rush Currant, Earl Of Edgecombe, Julia Child, Tiny Tim.
*seasonally available; usually from May 1st through July. |
