About Us

Nestled amidst the beautiful rolling countryside of Davidsonville, Maryland, Homestead Gardens is the largest enclosed garden center in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas.

Founded in 1973 by Don Riddle, Jr., our landmark nursery boasts the area’s largest selection of annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, landscaping design and build service, outdoor lighting, garden accessories, casual furniture and more!

 

A visit to Homestead Gardens is not just another shopping trip—it’s an experience. Stroll the landscaped grounds for design ideas, relax with gourmet coffees, visit with our llamas, or explore the garden center for the perfect item to complement your home.

Homestead Gardens has expanded rapidly over the years to become one of the largest independent, single-location garden centers in the United States. From our humble beginnings as a roadside stand first selling azaleas, bedding plants, mums and poinsettias, Homestead Gardens has since expanded to become one of the country’s leading garden centers. We are honored that our store was recognized as ‘Garden Center of the Year’ for 2004, by the Garden Centers of America and “Nursery Retailer of the Year 2008” by Nursery Retailer Magazine.
