ABOUT REDS GARDEN CENTER

History

Reds Garden Center is a family-owned business that has been serving Chicago's North Shore community since 1968. Beginning as a farm market selling fruits and vegetables from its 6-acre Northbrook site, the operation expanded a year later to include nursery and firewood sales. Shortly after the nursery business began, Red purchased farmland in Lake Zurich and began growing his own nursery stock, enabling Reds Garden Center to provide quality plants at the best possible price. A gift shop specializing in home and garden décor and outdoor everything was added in 1994, and shortly thereafter Red's began to offer complete landscape and design services.

In early 2002, Reds acquired the property formerly occupied by North Wheel Farm and once again expanded the inventory of plant material and garden supplies to include a huge selection of annuals, perennials, over 40 varieties of roses, and a new home-grown vegetable market. The Gift & Patio Shop at Reds was also enlarged to include an ever-wider selection of outdoor furniture, statuary, candles, frogs, holiday decorations, and garden doo-dads.

Our Founder

Long-time customers, family, friends and employees of Reds Garden Center were saddened to learn of the passing of Reds' founder, Wallace "Red" Poehls on February 19, 2008, at the age of 81 years. He will be greatly missed.
