Newly obsessed with this fabulous garden center! The owner is very kind & offered super helpful guidance with what I was looking for (which is mainly herb/vegetable plants & fruiting trees. and they have a very large selection!) The prices are reasonable & I was happy to learn they refrain from using pesticides/insecticides & instead practice natural pest prevention methods, like using beneficial insects. Planning to return here often!

We recently purchased bulk mulch from Sweet Meadows Country Home & Garden and are so pleased with the quality of the product and the customer service. It's a distance from Oneonta but very worth the drive! Thanks!

This is a great garden center and a lot more. They have gifty stuff, beer making supplies, local honey, plumbing supplies etc. It started out just a small place but they've expanded every year. Great hanging baskets and other annuals. They also have a great variety of perennials, including shrubs and trees. Everything is very well maintained. It has become one of our favorite places to visit. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Bought all of our vegetables from them this year, and they're doing great. Went back today for help making my first batch of fruit wine and Stephen was phenomenal. So helpful and kind. Got me all set up and excited to get started. He seemed as excited for me as I was. Will absolutely be back, so lucky to have this gem of a store in our area.
