Congratulations to Garden Center's 2024 Top 100 Independent Garden Centers!

The list, compiled in spring 2024, is based on 2023 retail revenue as reported by garden centers in North America. All Canadian retail revenue numbers have been converted to USD by the submitting garden centers.

The number of store locations is based on the most recent information available. Garden centers that reported the same revenue received the same ranking on the list.

Thank you to all of the independent garden center representatives who submitted information.

Meet some of the 2024 Top 100 IGCs we featured during Top 100 Week (Sept. 9-13) at the links below:

#31: Glover Nursery

#50: Sawyer Home & Garden Center

#68: Hyannis Country Garden

#79: Colonial Gardens

#95: Hunters Garden Centre

We also hosted a webinar on strategies, tactics and ideas to reach Gen Z shoppers and expand your customer base with some of the Top 100 IGCs.

You can watch a replay of the webinar.
