    BEST GARDEN SHOP
    Nicholson-Hardie
    “Founded in 1899, Nicholson-Hardie is the oldest garden shop in Dallas, and it has the know-how that comes with that title. Between its deep selection and a staff that’s all green thumbs, don’t be surprised if you walk out with a fun and unexpected purchase.”

    D Magazine 2016 Best Garden Center

    Besides providing garden, home, and living decor, the team at Nicholson-Hardie provides knowledge. They believe the best garden should have four components: mind, body, heart, and soil. The 16 Texas-certified and master-certified nursery professionals are probably a hit at cocktail parties-turned-plant-trivia nights.

    D Magazine 2015 Best Garden Center

    Nicholson-Hardie has plants. Oh, do they have plants. Indoor, outdoor, annuals, perennials, trees, herbs—you name it. But there’s plenty here for non-gardeners, as well, including a wide array of decorative items for the home and giftables like candles, soaps, and frames. And best of all for the black-thumbed among us: dried and faux flowers so you can still look like a master horticulturalist.

    D-Magazine Readers Choice 2012 Best Garden Center

    “The fine folks at Nicholson-Hardie don’t just want to sell you flowers and plants. They also want to teach you how to care for and nurture them. Owned by the Bracken family since 1974, Nicholson-Hardie now has two locations employing many certified and master certified gardening pros. Be sure and bend their ears—they’re full of how-to advice. Also take advantage of the stores’ floral experts, who can create living floral arrangements that are just as beautiful as cut flowers but will last much longer”.

    Best Garden Shop

    Nicholson-Hardie Besides the beautiful flowers, landscape services, classes, and garden accessories, what we love most about Nicholson-Hardie is the knowledgeable staff of Texas-certified and master-certified nursery professionals. They’ll not only sell you a plant but also show you how to care for it as well as advise you what you should and shouldn’t plant in your garden.
