Well since it's officially spring (shhh, I am not talking about the "s" storm next week; it's not happening no matter what you say!), it's time to think dirt, flowers, and gardening.
Here are a few Phoenixville local places to help you get started with your gardening needs, whatever they may be. New patio, planting new perennials, hardscaping a border in your backyard, front flower bed...the possibilities are endless.
Landscaping
Woodwards Landscape Supply
661 Schuylkill Road (Rt 724)
Phoenixville, PA 19460
http://www.woodwardlandscapesupply.com/
610-983-9810
These guys were lifesavers for us. We went there when we were planning our patio and they really helped us out. They even run periodic seminars for all your DIY people out there like us. We simply purchased our supplies from them and did the grunt work of installing our paver patio ourselves but they also have people you can hire to install for you.
Shep's Yard
405 W Pothouse Road
Phoenixville, PA 19460
http://www.shepsyard.com/
484-302-9555
They have it all - bulk mulch, flowers, firewood, outdoor structures and pottery.
General Gardening and Hardware Needs
Colonial Gardens
745 Schuylkill Road
Phoenixville, PA 19460
http://www.colonialgardenspa.com/
610-948-9755
These guys pretty much have it all. Fairy garden supplies, beautiful flowers - both perennial and annuals, mulch, patio supplies, pottery, birdhouses and so much more. Twice a year they do this Colonial Bucks program where you can save money in the future with your purchases now. Definitely check them out!
Phoenixville True Value
785 Starr Street
Phoenixville, PA 19460
http://www.yelp.com/biz/pheonixville-true-value-phoenixville
610-917-9800
These guys are your true locally owned hardware shop. They carry Benjamin Moore paint (which is super nice!) and have all your basic needs for home improvements. They don't carry as much selection as some of the larger mega stores (you know the ones) but the nice thing about this store is that they are in the borough of Phoenixville so walking there is a possibility for most people in town.
Phoenixville Ace Hardware
542 Kimberton Rd
Phoenixville, PA 19460
http://www.acehardware.com/mystore/index.jsp?store=15869&saddr=40.1180715,-75.53931549999999(19460)&daddr=40.130002,-75.552494(542A%20Kimberton%20Rd%20Phoenixville,%20PA%2019460)
610-933-7733
They JUST opened up a few weeks ago. I went in there the other day to get a few things and they were UBER helpful with my questions about growing grass in my backyard. Seems like a well oiled machine in there. It's bigger than True Value (sorry True Value) and have more selection naturally. One thing that's really nice is that they carry Carhartt clothing. I can see this being a place where local landscaping companies will frequent. This is located in the same shopping plaza as the new Planet Fitness.
Happy spring and happy gardening!!
