Where To Find The Best Plants And Garden Advice In Montana?

I do not have a green thumb.

When planting season rolls around, I'm the guy asking employees a million questions and hoping they can point me towards plants I won't accidentally kill.

Expert Gardening Advice Can Make All The Difference

As it turns out, Montana is home to one garden center that really stands out from the rest.

This time of year, thousands of Montanans are heading to their local garden center to pick up flowers, shrubs, vegetables, and everything else needed to spruce up the yard.

And if you're anything like me, you're probably looking for a little guidance along the way. Questions about soil, watering schedules, what grows best in our climate, and how much sunlight something needs start adding up pretty quickly.

So where should you go if you want some of the best advice and some of the best plants in the state?

HGTV Names Montana's Best Garden Center

According to HGTV, you'll need to make a trip to Bozeman.

That's where you'll find The Garden Barn. And if you're wondering what helped it earn HGTV's top spot in Montana, here's what they had to say.

Run by two guys named Josh, The Garden Barn is a design-forward flora and fauna nirvana in Bozeman, Montana. The nursery grows ninety percent of their annuals, perennials, vegetables (including over 60 types of tomatoes and peppers) and herbs themselves. A celebration of nature's bounty, besides flora there is also plenty of fur, feathers and scales at the Garden Barn including 16 peacocks, five golden pheasants, a turkey, three cats, many koi fish, a skink, countless chickens and 1 million (give or take a few) bees.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go apologize to every plant I've ever owned.
