O.K. Hatchery Feed & Garden Store, Inc. — Attraction in Kirkwood

O.K. Hatchery is a wonderful local business. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I never feel pressured to buy anything beyond what I go for and they are always so pleasant and willing to help. I have been buying from them for over twenty years now and have never had a bad experience. I particularly appreciate their expertise when it comes to local growing conditions, including local problems with weeds and insects, along with straightforward solutions. I look forward to patronising them for many years to come, and I'm grateful for all the help they have provided over the years.

OK Hatchery is a local treasure, and an excellent resource for backyard gardening, birding, and animal care. I'm not a farmer, but I understand they are helpful to farmers, too. 😊 Their selection of pots, garden sculpture/pottery and yard decor is beyond compare. --You never know what you'll find here. There is way more than meets the eye. You'll find birdseed & feeders, and garden tools, of course, a wonderful variety of annuals and perennials and seeds, but also greeting cards, decorative yard & garden flags, mailbox covers, lanterns, children's toys, indoor decor, fairy garden miniatures, local honey, hand lotions, etc. You have to visit! Everyone will find something they need or didn't know they needed! And if you have a question, they have an answer or can point you in the right direction. I hope this wonderful place will always have booming business and will remain a much-needed resource for...

OK Hatchery has everything your urban garden, starting nursery, and sculpted lawn could ever need. You don't have to buy the broad spectrum insecticide the big box stores carry. You can. But you can also buy the exact product to fend off the exact pest you face. Their seed offerings are as good as the best catalogs offer but as reasonably priced and easy to get as the cheap offerings you find at nurseries. And seed? For half the price you can make your own blend of fresh seed.

Lastly, the people that work here have knowledge that cannot be learned in a book and care for people that...
