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]

June’s Plant of the Month: Milkweed!
The ONLY host plant and food source for monarch butterflies, this is a pollinator magnet. In our store, we only carry temperate North American milkweeds since tropical milkweed (while tall and flashy) blooms too late and can confuse migrating monarchs to halt their journey south. In store we carry:
1. Asclepias tuberosa: bright orange blooms, drought tolerant once established, compact/busy, 1-3ft tall
2. Asclepias incarnata ‘Milkmaid’: white blooms, keep soil moist until established, upright/airy, 3-5ft tall.
3. Asclepias incarnata ‘Cinderella’: pink blooms with sweet fragrance, keep soil moist until established, tall/upright, 4-5ft
