"Thank you so much to the staff for helping pick out our plants and pot them."

- Paul Heim, July 2025

"One of my favorite places to get plants! The people there are always friendly and helpful. They are pet friendly, so I always bring my dog. She can be a bit much to handle in public, so I don’t take her out often. BUT whenever I go to Bath the people there always help me out with her! Every time I go to Bath I leave happier and with a new plant!"

- Gaia Bachar, April 2024

"Great place for plants and gifts."

"I love this garden center! I've never brought home any bugs! They have a ton of things to look at!"
