Hocott's Garden Center

Very helpful staff, very great vibe, people that work there really know their things about the plants they have there and are willing to teach you and show you things, very reasonable prices

It was my first visit, and I’ll be back. They took such great care to help me find exactly what I needed! Fun, eclectic space!

this is the best nursery in town.. Timothy is awesome to help u find what u need! out of my price range.. but he tracked down what I was looking for!

Hocott's is a little gem in the historic neighborhood of Hillcrest. Unlike larger and more commercially-minded plant vendors, it offers an idiosyncratic collection of plants, not a few of them chosen with an eye to the local climate and to local tastes. I find, for instance, a variety of mint plants at Hocott's that I don't spot at other larger nurseries in the city. In addition to its interesting assortment of garden plants and house plants — and the plants are well taken care of and healthy — Hocott's sells seeds, garden ornaments, gift items, etc. The staff are always helpful and cordial. On one occasion when we bought plants there, the person staffing the desk — perhaps the owner — offered us as a gift fresh eggs from her chickens and invited us to return at any time and get more eggs. When my spirits are glum, I like stopping into Hocott's and just walking around. I never fail to spot something interesting there or some item my garden can't do without, like a wonderful fountain I got at Hocott's at a bargain-basement price last year, which now sits in front of my house next to the Boston ferns that mark the entrance to my porch.

Hocott's is always a great place, even when a bit short on enventory !!!
