The 3 Best Garden Stores/Nurseries Around The Lake Tahoe Region

A successful garden begins with choosing plants and materials suited to local growing conditions. In mountain communities, factors such as elevation, changing temperatures and soil conditions make selecting the right trees, flowers and shrubs especially important. The Best of Tahoe celebrates businesses that help gardeners and landscapers find plants, supplies and expertise for creating thriving outdoor spaces throughout the region.

Tahoe Outdoor Living Nursery

Tahoe Outdoor Living Nursery stocks native and ornamental trees, shrubs, perennials and hanging flower baskets selected for the Tahoe Basin's diverse microclimates. The nursery also supplies Sierra Nevada native plants, West Turf Reno sod, rabbit-tolerant varieties and vegetable and herb strains suited to late alpine freezes. In addition, the business works alongside in-house irrigation and design-build divisions that install drip irrigation systems, patios and retaining walls.

Aspen Hollow Landscape Nursery

Aspen Hollow Landscape Nursery offers seasonal flowers, shrubs, native and adaptive trees, custom pottery and handmade garden art. The nursery supports landscape contractors through a pre-order reservation system while also hosting gardening workshops, educational talks, farmers markets and other community events. Under new local ownership since 2024, the business partners with Earth & Stone Landscapes on projects that include backyard renovations, paving stone driveways, fire pits and water features.

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market

Grocery Outlet Bargain Market features a seasonal outdoor garden section that includes potted flowers, bagged soils and basic lawn and garden supplies. Because the store uses an opportunistic purchasing model, its selection changes throughout the season based on available inventory.
