I stopped at this stand looking for a particular plant and color that I hadn't been able to find in the the area. It was nice to see the variety/healthy/variations of all the plants. The cost was in line with other places.

St. Louis County Library just distributed over 1,000 Veggie Garden Kits to families in need, and every single plant came from The Bee Garden Center at a very reasonable price. Each Kit included two tomato plants, a cucumber plant, and a squash plant. Im so thankful for the generosity and care of The Bee Garden Center. They even brought all the plants inside the heated greenhouse when it snowed a few days before distribution. Garden center staff also provided us with space on the lot to assemble all the kits. Im so pleased that the Bee Garden Center helped SLCL provide over 1,000 library patrons
