These days you can’t find many people to assist you at the giant nursery retail stores, so a pleasant surprise awaits you when you enter Country Place Garden Center’s gates. This gem offers something you don’t find when making gardening purchases from most large retail nurseries—service with a smile and the experience of staffers who possess real "green thumb" degrees in gardening knowledge. It’s true that great pricing and a vast selection are to be found at the mega stores, but it comes at the price of personal service. Country Place owner Gary Williams and his staff are walking and talking encyclopedias of plant, shrub and tree information. Gary has operated his business for twenty-seven years and has forgotten more about the nursery business than most other nurserymen know. Why is this so important? Experienced landscape advice can help ensure that the plants you purchase will survive in the correct environment and with proper care. This translates into a beautiful yard and ultimate savings because you don’t have to go the expense of time and money repurchasing and replanting due to poor selection and improper care. Country Place offers landscaping service, trees, shrubs, perennials, tropicals and annuals. For a breath of fresh air, to see beautiful gardens and to experience old-fashioned service, stop in to see Gary and his friendly staff. Country Place Garden Center is located at 707 N. Greenville Avenue in Allen. They are open 9-5, seven days a week and may be reached at 972-727-5905.
