Pansy Party at Bob's Market and Greenhouse in Forest Park GA

 Pansy Party at Bob’s Market and Greenhouse in Forest Park GA

Bob’s Market and Greenhouse is a West Virginia-based plant distributor and  one of the first things you’ll see when you enter the Garden Center area of the Atlanta GA State Farmers Market. It is the state’s sole location of Bob's Market and Greenhouses, operating there since 2005. Georgians can now check out all the plants and supplies they’ll need to plan and plant a beautiful border or landscape at Bob’s shed.

The day I found them I thought I’d stumbled upon a glorious Pansy Party! Pansies dancing in the breeze everywhere I looked. I had a hard time deciding which to pick for my little garden.


The company web site offers plenty of useful information for plant and garden care and for home-canning all of that flavorful, seasonal bounty so that you can enjoy it all year round.

The environmentally conscious among us will also appreciate Bob’s commitment to green business practices, offering free recycling of all plastic containers purchased at Bob’s and brought back to them empty.

Bob's Market and Greenhouse is just one more reason to make sure you spend a day at the Atlanta GA State Farmers Market at least once while the growing season lasts.

Cute video Elva... I love pansies too. Great local post. I love places like this and of course, I'm a big fan of Farmers Markets. In fact, today is Tuesday! I'm headed over to our local Farmers Market later this afternoon.

Thanks for this great post!  I got an email from Google Alerts today that we had been mentioned.  There's nothing better than seeing such a wonderful post created by a customer!  Many of us up here at the HQ in West Virginia, myself included, have never been to our Atlanta location.  It was the first location that we opened out of our immediate area, and this year we once again expanded with the purchase of a wholesale distribution company in Pittsburgh, PA.  We owe Atlanta many thanks for helping us grow the business over the last seven years.  In that time we've gone from 10 acres under roff to nearly 30!

 

Thanks again,

John Morgan, CTO/CIO

Rene - Good for you. Can't beat local grown and fresh picked, and no better place to find it than at your farmers market.

John Morgan - You are welcome. I meant every word of it. Congratulations on your growth. I'm originally from Pittsburgh myself, and glad to know my family and friends might be able to check out your new location. Most of us enjoy growing gardens and plants.

Elva, hope you were able to make a choice!  But I too would have found it hard.  They are such adorable little flowers!
