Gurnam saw a vision, a garden center that could offer quality product grown on location. With growing experience in hand, Gurnam and his Family set out to break into the retail world where the doors to Green Mountain Gardens.
Harper's Garden Centre began, in 1948, as a small farm owned by it's founders, Bruce and Ruth Harper, after Bruce returned from World War II. As their family grew so did the farm. From animals and produce, to a small seasonal garden centre. Harper's Garden Centre quickly became known for excellence in quality gardening products and services. Their children eventually took over and ran the garden centre for 40 years.
In 2016 they retired and Harper's Garden Centre was purchased by another family with the same commitment to quality and customer service as always. 2018 is a very special milestone for Harper's marking our 70th year in operation!
Things sure have changed in retail for independent garden centres, but our commitment to QUALITY, SERVICE & SELECTION has not wavered from our 1948 beginning.
I have been going there every spring for a while now. I love their wandering Jew hanging plant. Plus the large potted cherry tomato plants. Their plants always last the season for me.Read more
