Eagle Creek Garden Center

An extremely large, clean, upscale garden center with a lot of space under glass for comfortable shopping even on rainy days. I love to stroll around their greenhouses with my camera to get pics of their many flowers and plants. They have a large gift shop to entertain your friends who can't understand why you think garden centers are such a cool thing, and a small market area that sells organic produce and packaged snacks. There is also a small coffee bar, though I haven't seen it open when I was there, so I am not sure of their hours. If you visit this garden center, there are several other large and pleasant garden centers on the same (Chillicothe) road that are worth a stop. One of them Breezewood Gardens just north of the 422 expressway exit and the other is Lowe's (a garden center not the DIY store) a couple of miles farther down the road to the north. Both have gift shops and large plant selections. These three nurseries together make a wonderful afternoon. There are also some other smaller nurseries on that same road that I haven't visited. Start at Eagle Creek and work north from there. Finally, if you have the energy, do a Mapquest to finish up at Daisy Hill for a fourth and very unique nursery in the area (on Rt 91 in Chagrin Falls). You will have a fantastic garden day!
