The Garden is a locally owned business operating three stores around Canberra. We offer the combined ranges of the three stores, and can often be seen traversing Canberra’s roads in our white vans, ferrying special items to and fro between our stores.

The Garden’s staff love being around plants and we especially enjoy helping our customers design and maintain their own gardens. All garden styles and philosophies are provided for, and the managers pore over suppliers’ lists well into the night to ensure that a broad and healthy range of plants are stocked throughout the year. Whether you have a formal, native, low-maintenance, low-water, organic, cottage-style, practical, herbal, vegetable, fruit, or any other kind of garden, The Garden is the place to bring your garden aspirations to fruition.

The Garden’s owners have lived in Canberra for many years, and have expanded their business as Canberra has grown. Each of the three stores has contributed to its local area, supporting schools, community organisations and charities. The stores have also changed as the gardens in the area have changed, and this is true also of the increased concern about water. The challenge of making gardens more water efficient has engaged the best minds in the industry. At The Garden we are passionate about sustainable gardens of all styles, and offer the combined expertise of both our staff and suppliers to ensure that your garden flourishes regardless of the conditions we face.

Services

We understand that gardening can be a messy operation, and so we are more than happy to help you get your purchases to your car or load them for you. We also offer a free delivery service (conditions apply) during the week, which can be organised any of our friendly staff members.

Despite our best efforts to have the best range of plants available all year round, we are more than happy to try and find any plant you are looking for. Due to climate and seasonal considerations we are not always able to source requests, but we will do our very best!
