Hanson Information

Hanson's Garden Village offers more than just plant material. We stock, besides the gardening basics, many interesting, unusual, and "artsy" garden items. You can also find landscaping necessities like bulk and bagged mulches, composts, and topsoil, lawn edging and weed barrier, erosion blankets, grass and wildflower seed, and much more. We are the Northwood's source for Envirolok bags, the environmental alternative to retaining walls. We host many do-it-yourself planting classes from beginners to green thumbs in the spring. Check our events page for upcoming classes and events and join in on the fun! Our Herb Fest is our big spring event every year and is hosted on the third Saturday in June every year. We have community members and HGV crew members give talks and demonstrations related to herbs. This is a fun, free event that is always rain or shine! After the busy spring season, some members of our staff become quite busy with landscape design projects - anything from foundation plantings to herb gardens to perennial beds to native plantings and lakeshore restorations. While we do not typically do actual installation work (except for some smaller projects), we can help by suggesting someone from our network of tried-and-true landscape firms that we partner with. In Autumn, we are busy helping folks with their fall decorating needs: all the plants, plus pumpkins, straw bales and corn stalks are available in our Hanson's Pumpkin Patch. For the past few years we have hosted a family fun day, Fall Fest, where we give tractor rides and have other fun activities for children and their families. November through January is about the only time that you will find us "closed to the public". We spend this time producing and cultivating all of the beautiful flowers we sell in the spring. We are always around for any customer's needs and are easily reachable by phone or email. Our hours change with the seasons, so please check below for information on when we are open to the public.
