The Scene
Whether you're from the east, west or south side of Cleveland, a Gale's Garden Center is located not far from your door--and all residents of the North Coast would probably agree that some of the best nursery and greenhouse plants can be found on this store's lots. You'll find Gale's shoppers towing red wagons around the store's spacious interiors, loading them with garden supplies, wild bird food, statuary, fountains and pond supplies.

The Goods
From saplings to seedlings, whether you need a new white birch for shade or a bonsai for your kitchen window, Gale's offers plenty to choose from. A separate area boasts a large gift center where many collectors congregate. Don't miss the orchids in the greenhouse and don't hesitate to ask for help--the store even offers worksheets to plan the look of your landscaping.
