New Family, Same Tradition.
Welcome to The Garden Shop! We are a family-owned plant nursery and garden center in South City, St. Louis in the former Bayer’s Garden Shop.
We’re so grateful to everyone who has supported us in our first year. From our staff to our customers, from our growers to our suppliers -- THANK YOU! It’s been wonderful to see the shop transform.
Our well-versed staff has years of experience in gardening. Whether you want to start a vegetable garden or spruce up those flower beds, we’re here to help. We look forward to seeing AND meeting you soon!
We knew we had a Bayer’s size hole to fill in South City and we feel like we’ve nestled in quite well. As we just opened up our expanded retail area where the garage one stood, we’re excited about the future of this little garden shop.
We've loved carrying on the tradition of pumpkins in the Fall and Christmas trees during the holiday season. Our goal was to match the legacy that Bayer had in the South City community and to pay homage to the once-South City staple.
Next time you're in the shop you may notice Astilbe AKA Bebe. She's our working cat!

Our Vision
Our priority is to influence the community and help educate them on the importance of native plant varieties and landscaping methods. We aim to be the number one resource for gardening in the St. Louis community.
Supporting local and small is incredibly important to us as well. In addition to national brands, we will highlight and focus on showcasing local businesses that make this city great.
