Get Your Gardening on With These Local Suppliers

by Corcoran McEnearney

Spring is officially here, and that means that gardening season is officially in session. If you’re looking to spruce up your yard this season and need to restock your supplies, don’t forget to check out the local DMV area retailers below. Whether you’re looking to build up your collection of pots and planters or are just looking for a thoughtful gift to surprise the avid gardener in your life, we’ve got you covered.

Terrain: Terrain is Anthropologie’s sister store and is a gardener’s paradise. While Terrain has an expansive website, there are actually only a handful of brick and mortar Terrain locations scattered around the country, and we’re fortunate enough to have one nearby in downtown Bethesda. Terrain is an excellent place to visit if you’re looking for cute plant pots, watering cans, gardening gloves, potting soil, and so much more.

HomeSense: HomeSense, which is a sister store of HomeGoods, is relatively new on Rockville Pike and is a wonderful place to stock up on budget-friendly gardening supplies. Whether you’re in need of oversized plant pots, backyard furniture, patio accents, and the like, you’ll definitely want to add this shop into your rotation.

Gingko Gardens: Gingko Gardens in Southeast DC is one of our favorite places to purchase plants and accessories of all kinds. If you’re looking for a bit of help from a pro, note that you can work with the store team on a custom landscape design and can also hire Gingko’s horticulturists, designers, and installation crews to fully bring your vision to life.

Little Leaf Shop: For those looking to shop small, don’t forget to stop into Little Leaf in Northwest DC, where you can purchase beautiful plant pots, bags of potting mix, shears and more. And if you’re looking to introduce some green friends into your indoor space, too, this is an excellent place to purchase houseplants.
