Our History
Andy's Garden originated from a greenhouse operation, which had its beginnings at the turn of the 20th century in Piqua, Ohio. After several owners and many changes, the business was purchased by David Anderson in 1962 as a wholesale production operation. In 1964 David opened a retail garden center under the name "The Garden Store." By 1972, the business was renamed Andy's Garden and was transformed into a retail garden center and floral shop in Troy, Ohio. David wanted to add a more personal touch to our name. "Andy" is a nickname for Anderson and a name by which David was known as a boy. Andy's Garden, Inc. became a second-generation business in 1998 when John Anderson purchased the operation from his father David. With over two acres of greenhouses, 90% of all plant material sold in our stores is grown by Andy's staff under strict quality controls. Our plant mix includes annuals, perennials, roses, herbs, vegetables, poinsettias, garden mums, foliage plants, hanging baskets, container gardens and nursery stock. All America Selections and developments in each category including hundreds of varieties are constantly updated. Our garden center also offer all the gardening supplies you will need, along with water gardening supplies, statuary and fine quality patio furniture to complete your outdoor living areas and our flower shop can help you with all your floral and gift-giving needs.
