ABOUT US

Colonial Gardens is an independent garden center serving the greater Phoenixville community since 1967. We offer a huge selection of plants and gardening accessories along with deep knowledge of gardening to help our customers be successful. Outside of plants, we host seasonal events, a dynamic gift shop, and a full-service florist. We close on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, but are otherwise scheduled to open every day.

You can’t see much from the road, but our grounds include acres of covered and uncovered shopping space for plants! Over the course of a year, we carry thousands of varieties of annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and houseplants. In the off-season, see the space transform into a sea of pumpkins or a forest of Christmas trees.

We are blessed with a fantastic team of multi-talented staff in all our departments. Their goal is to provide our customers with an excellent experience. Our goal is to make work a positive place with learning opportunities and a work-life balance.

We believe that when we’re successful, our community should be successful too. Every year we try to further our impact by working with local organizations that support our neighbors in need. We are also working to make a positive impact on the environment through a variety of sustainability efforts and community partnerships. See more about sustainability here.

Now more than ever, shopping small and independent has a big impact on our community. When you shop local, your dollars stay local, which helps make this area a better, more vibrant place to live. Thank you for continued support over the last 58 years!

Colonial Gardens has always been a family business and that remains true with Eric Schmidt at the helm of our company. Eric has spent the last 50 years at Colonial Gardens, growing up at the store along with his four brothers. Taking over from his father Stan, who passed away in 2006, Eric has transformed Colonial Gardens to a destination garden center, focusing on selection and service. Eric grew up in and lives in Phoenixville and continues to be an active member of the community.
