Hi, I'm Trish here at Trish's Garden Center and Flower shop...celebrating the last hues of Summer. We've been blessed with lovely temps and sunshine here in Chicago...but nights are getting cooler and next week will be pumpkins time for sure.

We always have accessories, tools and even birdbaths. Hardy succulents are perfect for Fall displays.

Don't forget to refresh you herbs, repot with fresh soil to bring inside when frost finally begins.

Don't forget to generously water everything this time of year to keep your perennial roots hardy and healthy for the winter. Even grasses, trees and bushes need to store water for the winter.

We have loads of pots for moving your special plants indoors.
