Van Putte have every vegetable or herb you can think of for your garden. They also sell plants, trees, shrubs, etc. I have never purchased any of their trees but I have heard good things about them. This business is a little higher priced than another local nursery we frequent, but they literally have any plant you can want or need. I have had to stop here every year for the plants I couldn't find at other places.
They also have a huge display outside of their fountains, statues and other landscaping needs. It's a one stop get it all type place. The employees are super friendly and helpful. They are still adhering to covid protocols.
