Thinking of starting a garden this summer, sprucing up your existing plot or getting a jump start on landscaping? Lake Township and Hartville have you covered for all of your gardening supplies, fertilizers, mulch, seed, plants and more!Let’s start at the beginning…
Get the Ground Ready & Look the Part
Hartville Tool Exchange has garden tools, mowers, rototillers and other items available. Stop by the Hartville Hardware for your supplies, snazzy new gardening gloves, sun hats, garden clogs and more in their Outdoor Living Department.
Soils & Fertilizers
We found unique fertilizer at AlaMar Alpaca Farm, located inside the Hartville MarketPlace! Alpaca manure is unique in that it can go directly from pasture to plants (even house plants!), is virtually odorless and is available in powder or pellet form or “tea bag” form that can dip into your watering can all the way up to 20 pound bags! Hartville Elevator has lots of essentials. Lime, grass seed, fertilizer, weed killer, crabgrass preventer, insect control products, and much more. Great prices, free advice and helpful hints abound.
Community Garden
If you don’t have space for a garden, Contact Jim Johnson about a 10×10 spot in our Community Garden, adjacent to the Hartville Hardware.
Making Your Yard Look Nice
Stop by Metker ECH or Hartville Hardware to complete your landscaping look with mulch, topsoil and handcrafted stone products! Head to Historic Downtown Hartville and stop by the new A Niche in Time store for upcycled bird feeders made from lamp parts to keep the feathered friends happy. The new butterfly houses and bird houses at Front Porch Store in GentleBrook Centre will also be a great addition to your landscape!
Plants & Seeds
Hartville Hardware and GentleBrook’s Miller’s Greenhouse will get you off to a great start with their seeds, bulbs and starter trays and plants.
