It’s never too early to get your yard ready for spring. Plants not only make your house look attractive, but they also transfer feelings of well-being through either actual gardening or simply admiring them from a porch or deck.
Give your home a splash of color and a refreshing vibe by getting plants from these Charlotte nurseries and garden centers.

Campbell’s Greenhouses
209 McDonald Avenue
Located right behind mom-and-pop ice cream and burger joint Mr. K’s Soft Ice Cream, Campbell’s Greenhouses is a small but well-stocked plant nursery in the South End.
Like many plant nurseries in the city, you’ll find more trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals than you’ll ever need. But for Charlottean gardeners and landscapers in the know, Campbell’s is the source for bonsai plants and orchids. Pick up unique varieties and get points from the incredibly attentive staff to ensure dramatic blooms.
Ross Perennial Plant Farm
9424 Community House Road
Drive to Ross Farms for the best perennials and groundcovers in the city. This farm has been open to plant enthusiasts, landscapers, and wholesalers since 1993. It takes pride in offering perennial varieties native to the Tar Heel state—a list that includes goldenrod, Husker Red beardtongue, blue wild indigo, and many more.
The owners of Ross Farms are self-proclaimed “plant lovers and fanatics” who use environmentally conscious methods to grow their plants. North Carolina Native Plant Society includes the nursery in its list of recommended and approved sources for native seeds and plants.
