Dragonfly Farms

Very well stocked nursery/​flower shop during the warmer season. Also an extensive garden shop all year long. THE place to go for your gardening/​landscaping needs.

Ok, this is likely a 5-​star establishment, but I’m a master gardener and find that I’m always just a little disappointed that they don’t have a few of the things I’m looking for — primarily different varieties of sedum. Often they have none, and if they do have some, it’s not what I’m looking for (I’m always searching for new, interesting, low-​growing, ground cover types and am tired of ordering them online).
Now that’s out of the way: I LOVE THIS PLACE. Caps are intentional because the sentiment is heartfelt and enthusiastic. Other than my sedum dilemma — and maybe I’m just fussy? — Dragonfly Farms has a wonderful selection of well-​tended, healthy, lovely plants. And, their prices are competitive too. I would have thought they’d be more expensive than the garden centers at the big box stores, but in many instances, depending on species, Dragonfly Farms has the lower price. I always wind up getting more plants than intended because they just look so good here.
And when I think I’m all done selecting my plants, I go inside to pay, and I’m floored by what they have in there. First, the shop, like Doctor Who’s Tardis, is way bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. I recall the first time I shopped here: it was a sunny day, and I was heading to the register with my cart, and it took a second for my eyes to adjust to the light inside. But when they did, I stopped in my tracks, mouth agape, awestruck. I asked an employee if I could leave my cart tucked off to the side so I could explore. «Sure!» she said. I wandered around, slowly, in wonderment, taking it all in – there are many rooms, filled with a large assortment statuary, creative reuse of common items (dresser drawers as shelves!), wind chimes, colorful birdhouses, more plants, flags, toys, tools, containers, etc, etc, etc. It has the feel of a well-​kept arboretum rather than a store. Stunning work.
It is definitely worth a trip to Dragonfly Farms at least once, but possibly more, each season. You’ll find everything you’re looking for (well, except sedum! :)), and you’ll come away with so much inspiration, to boot.

This nursery and garden store replaced a long standing similar business in this community. That business was highly respected and frequented, and this business does a great job living up to that legacy. I am temped to say that they may have even improved it a bit.
I shop here at least a few times each year, Spring, mid Summer and sometimes around Christmas. There are plenty of plants to choose from, and they always do well for me. I really like the fact that they discount annuals sometime in mid July so you can replace earlier flowering plants.
Inside the store is a decorator’s dream. Many crafty and rustic pieces to spruce up your spaces. They also use these items to create unique arrangements if so desired. There are also many gift items that probably appeal more to children or the women in your life.
If you are relying on big box chain stores for your planting needs, you are missing out on a really good local option. And one that may surprise you when you explore the interior. It’s not very far away, and does not take half a day to there, if you travel by dragonfly…4.5 Unilocal

I just cannot get over the fact that, regardless of the time of year you visit, the store shelves and ailes are jammed-​packed with cool merchandise for both inside and outdoors.
My visit today was to look for a cement garden bench shaped in a semi-​circle. Of course, they’re advertised by the big box stores but they never stock them. It goes without saying Dragonfly had one, along with a few really nice wrought iron benches as well. Not only did I find the garden bench I was looking for, but I also found stepping stones with a dragonfly insignia to go into the ground in front of the new bench. To top it off, they even gave me a discount on the entire purchase.
Needless to say, Arlene was pleased with her surprise. As the expression goes, «a happy wife means…»

I don’t even know where to start! I am obsessed with this store!!! Amazing indoor and outdoor décor. Their holiday displays are like no other! Eclectic, unusual, rustic, gorgeous items I can’t find anywhere else! Large metal star, birch balls of almost 2 foot circumference, speckled poinsettias, holiday decorations made from everything from shiny metal to twigs, bunches of fresh evergreen, gorgeous wreaths and ribbon, and lots more! They also have anything you can think of for outdoor gardening — urns, pottery, stepping stones, and gorgeous, healthy indoor and outdoor plants! Staff are always helpful and very knowledgeable. They wear tags that say, «Hamilton’s Best Kept Secret.» It TRULY is!!! A must-​see!!!

This place is very unique to the area. For every holiday they are decorated to the tenth degree and it always looks great. They have a lot of cool and unique merchandise, aside from the plants and flowers they sell. Around Halloween they have a mini petting zoo on their grounds, again which you would never see anywhere else in this area. Even if you don’t buy anything check this place out.

Great selection of outdoor plants of all kinds. Some really unusual stuff that you won’t see in other places. Prices might not be the lowest but are quite reasonable.
