Corporate Founded in 1990, John Shelley's Garden Center & Nursery, Inc. is a full-service, 20-acre complex offering the widest range of rare, unusual and hard-to-find horticultural plant material, and related services in North America. Our specialty is the acquisition, care, sale and installation of the finest rare, unusual and hard-to-find plant material. Everything else is secondary to that purpose. There are 5 operating divisions, in addition to the parent company: Retail Services; Landscape Design & Installation; Hardscape Design & Installation; Landscape Maintenance; and Special Projects, for community service/ non-profit organizations. We also feature expert landscape design and installation for residences and businesses, both in Pennsylvania and in Maryland. It's all explained, right here. Additionally, we specialize in Water Gardens and Water Features. Over the past 17 years, we have constructed, installed, modified or upgraded 100+ Water Gardens in a myriad of shape, size and price configurations. No two are alike, in any respect, as are the customers who've commissioned us to build them. We can also custom-build unique "Water Features", giving you the look and sound of water, without all the associated maintenance of traditional Water Gardens. Over the past 17 years, our unique advertising style has attracted considerable attention, both from the general public and from the Horticulture Industry. We have never advertised price; instead, we take on specific "issues" unlike those ads of any other garden center or nursery, anywhere. If you're looking for figurines, statues, "knick-knacks" and "bric-a-brac", then we're the wrong place to visit. We are easily the unquestioned leader of all the other garden centers & nurseries in a modern, upscale facility, with top-of-the-line plant material, which the other places only dream about. A simple visit here, will quickly convince anyone of that fact. People from 5+ states shop here, for plant material which they can't find anywhere else. Our advertising is highly-entertaining, thought-provoking, provides copious amounts of commonsense truth and information, exposes this industry's negatives, urges people to do the right things, and tells them how to do it. People all over the region have read and actually collected our ads for years. Cool; and many thanks. Planning to visit us?
