ABOUT STRADER’S GARDEN CENTERS
All of our plants are grown by us in our Ohio-based greenhouses and nurseries.
Since 1951, Jack and Ruth Strader founded Strader’s Garden Center with just one small garden store on King Avenue. Today, the seed that was planted continues to flourish as Strader’s has branched out many times. Throughout the years, the company expanded and now includes six retail locations and three wholesale divisions in the heart of Ohio.
