Locally owned garden center with reasonable prices and excellent customer service.
Some of the best fresh produce I’ve had. The owners are wonderful. I recommend them to anyone looking for quality produce and plants.
I love Starting Gardens! This place is a gem. Wonderful fresh, local produce and reasonably priced! Nicest local owners with a variety of not just produce, but home goods, plants, gardening items, etc. Don't need the big box stores with this shop! Must see!
Fantastic local nursery! They have a nice selection of plants and will give guidance on the best ones to use for your area. Very knowledgeable and very helpful...and their prices are competitive.

Jeff is so kind and helpful. Prices are reasonable, and he has a thoughtful selection of both outdoor and indoor plants. The place looks small but it’s not really. The inside is fun, too. We got a beautiful glazed birdbath today, perfect for our Spring garden! We are happy to have Jeff as a neighbor in Etowah!
Nice folks, lovely plants. I love it when they get their houseplants stocked up!
