Over the years, I have prominently displayed some whimsical and serious sayings to enlighten the thousands of drivers who pass by the garden center daily.  Some of the quotes are plagiarized, some are original, many are witty and others are downright funny.  I never attempt to be politically correct.  And I’m happy to say that I have humored thousands and offended few. 

If you've heard a good, short quote and want your quote on the Marquee simply email them to info@greenscapegardens.net.

Great landscapes available, some assembly required.

Gardening season starts today & ends December 31st.
