Raleigh: Garden
Spring is here!!! Cutting fresh flowers from my backyard garden is a dream of mine. Add a She Shed to the mix and I will officially declare that I have “made it.”
These are some of my favorite places in the Raleigh area to shop for all things gardening related.
Garden Centers
Atlantic Gardening: Atlantic Gardening is fully equipped with an outdoor nursery, greenhouse, shop & bar - yes, you read that correctly. You can sip & shop if you wish! They offer workshops both on & off property, collaborating with other Raleigh businesses for events.
Fifth Season Gardening: NEW small business in Raleigh! Fifth Season Gardening specializes in organic gardening, homebrewing, houseplants, hydroponics, pottery, home decor, urban DIY, eco-friendly supplies & local goods - making it the perfect place to grab a quick gift! Workshops are offered weekly.
For Garden’s Sake: Located in Durham, NC. I can’t say enough good things about this place! From the boozy cocktails offered at The Potting Shed, to the farm animals on property, For Garden’s Sake is a whole vibe. They have a large selection of vibrant plants, flowers, trees & seasonal favorites (like pumpkins & Christmas trees) to choose from. There are tables to relax & enjoy the afternoon, so make a whole day out of it! Events & classes are held throughout the month.
Logan’s Garden Shop: Logan’s is an absolute treat! For one, it’s massive, & it’s so impeccably organized it makes my heart sing. The gardeners are all so friendly & helpful with suggestions on plant care, gardening supplies, etc. There’s a good variety of affordable to high-end plants, blooms, & local produce, depending on what you are in the market for. Speaking of market, Logan’s moved its location from Seaboard Station to the NC State Farmers Market as of March 2025. Sign up for the weekly E-Newsletter for information on upcoming classes & events!
