Durham Garden Center

Durham Garden Center We’re home to a healthy selection of houseplants, local artisan pottery, native plants, garden centerpieces, seeds, soil, and supplies.

Durham-owned, horticulture for all. You are welcome here 🌈 esp. kids, dogs, and pollinators. As of 2020, we are renovating the space and rethinking how our center can learn and grow with our Durham community. Our staff is new to the shop, but we are no spring bunnies. We are trained horticulturists, artists, foragers, cooks, community planners, and propagation specialists. We hope you love the new

look as much as we do! Are you a local artist looking for a bustling space to sell your plant-related work? Email us at [email protected]

Wondering why your basil isn’t as bushy as you’d like? You shouldn’t be harvesting individual leaves! Rather, take clean cuts directly above two opposite new leaf pairs to encourage bushier growth.

This summer heat doesn’t have to stop gorgeous blooms! To keep your plants blooming through the hottest months of the year, you should
-water deeply, not daily
-add 2-3 layers of mulch at plants base to keep soil cool and reduce evaporation
-feed blooming plants every 2-4 weeks with slow release fertilizers (avoid too much nitrogen which will just promote leaves, not blooms!)
-trim leggy plants about 1/3 if they’ve stopped blooming (esp coreopsis, catmint, salvia, nepeta, geraniums)
