Merrifield Garden Center

entrance to the garden center

      While visiting relatives in northern Virginia, I strolled through Merrifield Garden Center.  This is the garden center where I bought most of my trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals when I lived in that area.  It is a peaceful oasis in the midst of a rapidly growing suburban area.

     It covers several acres and carries almost everything a gardener needs or wants.  The center also holds classes throughout the year.  Come along with me and enjoy a walk through the garden center in the following photos.

     There is also an area with several kinds of mulch, rock and gravel, a tropical greenhouse, and a large store where you can purchase everything from gardening tools to gloves. They will deliver mulch, rock, soil, and sand by the truckload if you need it.  The center also has several landscape designers that will help you plan your landscape. You can get an education just by walking through the center. It's a great place.
