Gurnee Garden Center

Gurnee Garden Center Full-Service Garden Center The Gurnee Garden Center opened its doors in 1973. Click here for more information about the plants we offer.

A young entrepreneur, Jerry Laux and his wife, Shirley, began small and leased land selling plants in the spring, fruits and vegetables in the summer and Pumpkins and apples in the fall. After 4 years they purchased land and began building the new Gurnee Garden Center, concentrating on spring and summer plants and fall crafts. Annuals, Roses, Vegetables and Herbs:
The Gurnee Garden Center offers a

wonderful selection of quality plants with the newest varieties. Since gardening should be fun and adventurous, every spring season you will find new perennials and new Proven Winners ® annuals. If it’s vegetable plants you fancy, choose from popular varieties of tomatoes, along with the heirloom plants which have once again gained popularity. There are many herbs for cooks looking to spice things up, or for those who just enjoy the aroma as the breeze blows the scent in the air. As for you rose garden lovers, choices can be difficult with so many luscious roses available, so perhaps one of the new roses for 2011 might fit your needs. Hanging baskets have come along way from the old days, and now feature breathtaking combinations. With the big demand for container gardening, a super choice of Proven Winners ® annuals must be on hand. Supertunias, Million Bells or Lobelia cascading from your hanging basket or planter will definitely add color and beauty all summer long. Perennials:
The Gurnee Garden Center has perennial specialists that can help you narrow down your choices of ground covers and stepables, native perennials, ornamental grasses, fruit vines, flowering vines, and other flowering plants such as Coreopsis, Daisies, Echinaceas, Garden Phlox, Salvia and more. Staff members are well trained, knowledgeable gardeners and each offers their own expertise, but with the common goal to make your garden experience easy and fun! Click here for more information.
