The glory of gardening starts with us.
Village Nursery boasts three regular sized greenhouses open to the public. They hold annual, vegetables and perennial transplants and our “Dazee Dome”, which is a 72’ x 72’ house, holds our potted plants, baskets and ready to go patio containers. We receive lots of rave reviews about the great show of colour, especially in the “Dome” which makes the effort all worthwhile.
