    5. We believe in being truthful and we’ll tell you if a plant won’t work in your garden.

    9. We believe that kids should love gardening as much as you do.
    10. We believe in supporting organizations like 4-H, our schools, service clubs, farm to school, FFA and other youth organizations so they grow as strong as our plants.
    11. We believe that knowing where your plants, especially your vegetables, come from is important.

    17. We believe that working together as a team and working hard is the only way.

We are proud and pleased that Four Seasons has been named to Today’s Garden Center Magazine’s “Top 100 Revolutionary Garden Centers List” in the United States. In 2012 and 2013 we were named the Southwest Regional Winner, and in 2009, we were selected as the Western Regional Winner. In 2013, we were named the National Winner.

The Revolutionary 100 Progam surveys garden center owners and results in a listing of the 100 most revolutionary garden centers in the nation. It is open to all independent centers and is based on leadership and innovation, not on size.

Local Programs

We support our local schools as a member of the Farm to School program which supplies fresh, local organically grown produce to the area school districts. Throughout the school year we provide freshly grown lettuce, tomatoes, spinach, and baby sunflower greens to schools in our region.
