There are so many new things I am excited for you to see the store this season!  Decorative solar lanterns, perfect for your backyard porch or patio.  Wonderful kinetic spinners that add movement to your garden; short ones, tall ones, colorful ones and some that even glow in the dark. Need a pair of boots? We have fun patterns for everyone, including my new favorite, chickens!  You can jump in all sorts of puddles!

Getting down to basics, we have every gardening item you need.  From gloves to hats to tools and everything in between.  We love the colorful Drammstore 1 hoses so much we use them in our growing and retail houses and we would be happy to help you find just the right one for your garden. And because we love our families, we have some really fun stuff for the kids too including an outdoor playground. For our loyal birders,  we are proud to carry birdseed from Sun Country Farms, a great company who developed the worlds’ most economically, environmentally and socially sustainable birdseed in the world. They also sponsored our Electric Car charger you see right outside our store. For those who like bring your dog along for your visit, be sure to ask one of our cashiers for a biscuit for your furry friend.  

Happy Gardening!

My career at Van Wilgen’s started with a trip to Alaska. I wanted a part time job to help out with my trip, so I started as a cashier in 1998.  I fell in love with everything about Van Wilgen’s. The products we sell, the staff, our wonderful customers and the experience. So in 1999 I changed careers and started full time here. I have worn many different hats over the years. Currently I purchase most of the items you see in the store and handle most of the day to day operations.

Come see me at the Van Wilgen’s Solution Center.  I love to help customers solve lawn & garden dilemmas.  Some people refer to me as the “Bug Lady”.  I don’t mind.  Bring me any insect or disease problem and we will work together to find the solution.  Want the greenest lawn on the block?  I can develop a lawn care program just for you.

It gives me such joy to work with my Van Wilgen’s “family” to bring you garden success.  I basically grew up stacey tips art 1in the green industry.  I come from a family of pest, lawn, and tree care professionals. I am an accredited
nursery professional who has worn many uniforms, crawled in many buggy crawlspaces, treated many trees, and worked on many golf courses. Green is in my veins.
