WALLACE'S GARDEN CENTER & GREENHOUSES CO. Information

Wallaces Garden Center is a family-focused and service-oriented business known for our quality, homegrown plants, expert staff, and inspiring displays and ideas. Back in the 1950s, Warren Wallace, a local farmer and ALCOA employee, opened a small truck farm in rural Bettendorf. It was a small greenhouse on then unpaved Devils Glen Road. Warren grew tomato and pepper plants and sold fresh vegetables and fruits from a small produce stand. Doug Nelson and his Family purchased the property and business in 1981 with a slightly bigger vision for Wallaces. Under the Nelson family, Wallaces has grown into year-round garden center, gift shop and state-of-the-art greenhouse. In the 90s, Wallaces grew to have as many as three store on both sides of the Mississippi River and currently has two stores on the Iowa side.
