I love this place so much! Not only do they have high quality plants, flowers, and herbs, but they employ people with special needs! And that just melts my heart!

Great space, lots of stuff! Not as huge of a selection of edible plants as I would've wanted, more flowers and decorative plants. Staff was so friendly

The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. They hire people with developmental disabilities and I really appreciate that. Their greenhouses are beautiful and I will be buying all of my plants from here from now on.

What a great place! I enjoy patronizing places like this that employ people with disabilities. The selection and price couldn't be better - makes this a total home run! The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely my favorite plant place ever! They also have unique handmade birdhouses, an amazing selection of succulents AND they offer classes. Will return (again and again)!

My favorite nursery in Columbia! The best people, prices and service. Their prices are easily the best, yet they help so many folks. Can't think of a better place to spend your money.

Giving Gardens maintains a diverse and beautiful assortment of annual and perennial bedding plants, vegetable and herb seedlings and hanging baskets. They also offer plant tables, benches and bird houses which are built from repurposed wood.
As well, I’m confident in saying that their staff are friendly and very capable at assisting their clientele.
If you haven’t visited GG why not plan to do so this Spring. I am certain that you’ll be impressed by their display of plants and enjoy walking through their new greenhouses!

Our kids look forward to shopping at the Giving Gardens. They love seeing all of the different plants. We typically have good luck with the plants we purchase.
