our story

Madison Garden Center got it's start in a tiny house on Highway 51 in the city of Madison. After 8 years at this location, Nick Thompson, decided it was time to expand and move to it's current location on Madison Avenue, across from Liberty Park.

Being the only garden center in the City of Madison, we focus on providing customer service, quality plant material, durable furniture, weather resistant pottery/concrete, a variety of soils and mulches, etc.

Madison Garden Center has been in business 20+ years and has been going strong ever since. Our staff at Madison Garden Center have 50+ combined years of expertise in gardening and horticulture.
