Garden Crossings Review
Garden Crossings came in at a 90 rating. That puts their grade at an A- grade and #2 in our top 20 rankings. The owners are true plant people who care about sending high-quality plants.
Garden Crossings Site is Easy to Use
Garden Crossings rolled out a whole new look to its website in January 2020. This includes a new logo. They did some more tweaking through 2023.
The site looks good. It is so intuitive and much easier to get around. It’s a cleaner, updated look that I think people of all ages will appreciate. There are just a few things I’d clean up but nothing that should stop you from buying from them.
It looks like they have added a LOT of filtering options to find plants. We had to expand one of the filter options but it still only needed 3 clicks to get to evergreen shrubs. They also have 79 different filtering options.
They always seem to be on top of all the new plant introductions, especially plants from Proven Winners. You can view all their new plants for 2024 here.
Garden Crossings has a focus more on perennials and annuals than evergreen trees & shrubs. They are one of our highest-rated online nurseries for perennials and annuals. They also sell houseplants.
Garden Crossings Spring 2024 Shipping
Most products say they ship in Spring by Zone.
Garden Crossings is still offering free shipping on orders over $149 with Code SUNSHINE. There are places on both the cart & checkout pages to enter a coupon code. You can view free shipping promotions for all our top-rated nurseries here.
One new item they offer is quantity discounts. I don’t know about you but I rarely buy just 1 of any perennial or annual. You can get anywhere from 5% up to 20% off for certain minimum quantities of products. That’s a great feature.
Garden Crossings has a decent variety of container sizes for sale Pot sizes we saw ranged from 1 quart to 1 gallon.
With the huge selection Garden Crossings offers, we were wondering if they shipped everything themselves or sent some orders to other nurseries for fulfillment. We contacted Garden Crossings and they confirmed that they do ship everything from their one location. So you don’t need to worry if the plants you order might come at different times from different locations. And pretty much everything is grown & maintained on location. They told us; “We grow approximately 90% of our mail-order annuals and perennials in-house from starter plugs from wholesale nurseries. As we start to run out of our finished annuals we do pull stock from a local supplier to continue filling the demand.”
Also, our interaction with them was awesome. They care about sending quality plants to you. There’s a reason why they are firmly entrenched as one of our top-ranked online nurseries.
Garden Crossings also has a retail garden center for local customers. If you are in their area of Zeeland, MI, their retail garden center may still be open. Call them first to verify their days and hours of operation.

What were the red flags?
- For as long as the site has been active, there are not a lot of product reviews. Just seems odd.
