Services & Workshops

We love our local customers and we want to be your one stop shop.

The services we offer will not only help you gather and collect all the garden-based supplies you will need for your project, but we also help guide you through some best practices to help you get your dream started!

Finally, our Workshops are back! Fun, Free and Everyone is Welcome! Read on for dates and details.

Landscape Design

We plan. You plant.

Bring us your drawings, pictures and ideas and we can help you figure out which flowers, trees and shrubs will work best in your space. Let us know if you have some preferences or particular plants in mind. We can help choose annuals and perennials that perform well here too.

This is a free service with limitations in April and May.

Custom Potting

Love having beautiful potted plants but don't have the time or don't like the mess? Let us do the dirty work for you!

Just drop off your pots or choose from our Michael Carr Designs. You pick out the plants you love or we can do it for you. There is a fee associated with this service and please allow plenty of time during our busy months of April and May.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great selection of houseplants! Fun place to go spend an hour or two wondering the many plants and garden decor.

Effinger consistently delivers excellent customer service. They also have plenty of varieties of whatever plant, tree, shrub, etc you are looking for. They carry local greenery choices. That's often not thought of when looking for trees or shrubs. However, you'll know those will work in your yard since they are native to the area. They also have other types not native. You can purchase every type of soil amendments here. There is a large assortment of water plants for your pond. Go check them out before buying at the chain stores. You will not be disappointed.
