Lehigh Valley Home & Garden Center — Local services in South Whitehall Township

I visited today and found the place humming like a busy bee hive on this late Saturday afternoon. They have a huge selection of very good-looking material beginning with low bedding plants and ending with beautiful large healthy trees of all types neatly organized in a sort of horseshoe around 3/4 of the property.

However, if the LV staff were a little friendlier, or even a little more helpful, I would be more willing to use the nursery. For me, it is always a...

I’ve been shopping here for years and for good reason. Best selection, fair prices and great service.

I was there today and picked up some ornamental grasses, stunning yellow rose bushes, Black Eyed Susan’s, some Phlox and a few Weigela bushes for a landscaping project my sons company (Kirchner & Sons) is doing.

When I arrived at the home to drop off the plants the homeowners saw the selection and fell in love with everything before it was even planted! The vibrant color and stellar quality of the flowers and bushes spoke for themselves!
