OUR MISSION
Our goal for The GardenMart is to not only grow and sell healthy plants hardy to our area but to also help you achieve success with garden or planters…
BASIC PRINCIPLES
Our annuals and perennials are grown locally here in San Benito County which ensures they are acclimated to our intense conditions. We grow about 600 different kinds of plants from large shrubs to groundcovers, including annuals and perennials. We offer special order trees.
OUR CAPABILITIES
We offer fund raising opportunities, birthday parties and classes all geared towards planting and enjoying your outdoor living space…
“Come Play in the Dirt with us!”
The GardenMart was established in 2011 by Marci and Nick Huston as just an idea to set up a seasonal Plant Stand that has blossomed into what is today a full service retail garden center, selling a large selection of plants, pottery, and garden art.
With a Bachelors Degree in Agriculture from Cal Poly SLO and an MBA from Santa Clara University/ Institute of Agribusiness, Marci brings not only the educational background but 30 years of production and sales experience. Marci has been a business owner since 2005, starting a wholesale plant broker business selling young plants to wholesale nurseries who service other garden centers. This is why The GardenMart can offer the most variety of geographical appropriate plants in the entire Bay Area. Both businesses compliment each other.
Nick has a Bachelors Degree in business from Mount Marty College and a Horticulture Certificate from Cabrillo College.
Marci’s focus is on annuals and store merchandising, Nick works on growing the perennials and also landscape design. Both are qualified in all aspects of the growing and selling parts of the business.
Our friendly staff are very knowledgeable about plants and can help you choose the best plants for your specific needs.
What We Do
We maintain the health of our plants by visually inspecting them for pest, diseases, nutrient deficiency or other needs on a daily basis. All plants are hand watered which allows us to manage their water as well as their physical conditions.
All plants grown on the property are grown without chemicals or any type of pesticides or herbicides. We have an active pest control program using beneficial insects.
