Your

Green By

Design

Destination!

About Us

Owners Gerry and Sandy Gathje are garden enthusiasts and love the art of live beautification. It is said that Hillside is "Your Green By Design Destination!"

 

"Green by Design?"

Because of the healthy glow from plants that are raised by the Gathje's and created by God. Also because they are not trucked to their nursery, thus good for the earth.

"Destination?"

It's more then a Garden Center, it's a true family friendly destination complete with gardens, water features, inspiration, fun and more (The Little Farm Zoo is one of the "more" features). Oh, and we can't forget  the very first word.

"Your?"

Because it's all for you!
