Fairview Garden Center - One Stop Shop for Outdoor Living

Outstanding Local Business Between Cary and Holly Springs NC

Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center in Raleigh NC offers pots, plants, and patio items - at a great price

There's actually a whole lot more to Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center than pots, plants and patio items.

But I ran out of words that start with "P" for the headline.

And even if I used the entire alphabet it would take a very long time to list all the wonderful landscape and natural decorating offerings the Fairview Garden Center has to offer, including plant care products, garden tools, bird products, flower containers, statuary, home decor, and a gift boutique.

It sure doesn't look like a "mom and pop" - the Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center is absolutely huge.  I wasn't surprised to learn this local Raleigh business has been a community staple for 30 years now.

There's a couple of acres of greenhouse space where they grow their annual flowers and poinsettias.

There are eight acres outside where trees, shrubs, groundcovers and perennials are grown.

And there's even more inside their spacious store.

I made sure I had my walking shoes on when I got out of the car, delighted to stop a while and ponder the creative talent behind everything from bird baths to summer tropical, colorful, plants.

But even more fascinating than what you can buy is what you can learn.

The sales people are knowledgeable about what to plant to attract butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard. 

And the Nature Nook at the Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center has absolutely everything, from including hummingbird food, feeders, and handbooks.

The Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center staff helped me understand what kind of plants would not shrivel up and die in the summer heat (like the ones I usually buy and wonder what happened a couple of weeks later.)

And they even pointed out that I might want to opt for some of their new silk and dried floral arrangements to take the pressure off my total lack of a green thumb.

These are real experts, so I came away with some perenials, feeling pretty sure I could manage to do some gardening that would actually pay off this time.

They've received awards for the quality of their plants, and were even voted "Best Garden Center of Western Wake County" by the Maggy Awards. And they knew how to get rid of bugs without killing the flowers.

The Fairview Greenhouses and Garden Center even had some of the coolest outdoor furniture I've seen - and I've been watching a lot of "outdoor living space" episodes on HGTV!   

If you want to check them out at home, they've got a great website to get you started with tips for year-round gardening and plants. http://www.fairviewgardencenter.com
