Best of Philly

2026 Flora and Foliage

Colonial Gardens

This vast family-owned Phoenixville treasure, founded in 1967, has an in-house florist and offers craveable collections of annuals, perennials, trees, herbs, veggies, and houseplants. For a (very reasonable!) price, they’ll even send an expert gardener to survey your acreage and lay out ideas and plans. (In-store consults are free.) What’s more, they’ve got blogs and videos on everything from crape myrtles to deer-resistant plants to staff-fave annuals for at-home research.
