Wonderful place, really enjoyed shopping there this summer. It was my first time there and the…read moresales lady was amazing. Spent tons of time with me talking about native plants and providing recommendations. They even helped me load my plants, and gave me a few free vegetables. The place is out in the country and a lovely drive. They were even doing a special Day Lily event that we were going to go to but it was way too hot to be out that day. I highly recommend this place if your looking for unique, good quality plants with a sales staff that truly cares about plants and their customers.

I love going through the three different buildings at Distinctive Gardens and discovering things with names like "Gollum." And they're not just fun, they're also very high-quality and perform beautifully. The grounds at Distinctive Gardens are just as amazing as the plants you find there. I've attended both a wine festival and high school class reunion here and was amazed at how the location can be transformed into an elegant, almost enchanted venue. The owners, Bud and Lisa, are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do - Dixon is lucky to have Distinctive Gardens!

Not only was I told once myself, but I've observed it told to others as well in the same short, irritated manner, "We're sellers, not growers!" I know, crazy expectation... That a "garden center" might know something about the plants sold there. If you do just sell, that's fine. But, there has to be a more polite way to tell people other than implying they're twits for asking about the products you sell. In my humble opinion, there are nicer, more helpful places in Dixon to spend your money.

I was looking for blue and purple butterfly attracting flowers and they had a plethora to choose from. Extremely well-organized, with each greenhouse numbered and most plants grouped together in each greenhouse by flower type. We asked a few associates for help during our visit and every single one of the ladies were so happy and helpful. The plants are a very good value for their money. You can tell they take great care of the plants and they are healthy looking. Great care has been taken to maintain the beautiful farm. There are huge wagons at the entrance and you will need one because you will want to buy a lot of things here! Be aware that the Google maps might take you to the road right next to it. I was following the map and it took me to a private property just down the road. Best to follow the signage. It is a narrow and winding road leading to the property but it is very scenic. There is a lovely gift shop on the property with garden trinkets and fun things to look at, so be sure to browse there if you have time.

Inside the store, you can find all kind of good products for use, decoration, and gifting. I like sometimes they carry handmade crafts such as coasters. In winter, they carry good quality wool products including gloves and slippers. The best part about this store though, is the owner. She is amazingly friendly with the kindest heart. She always makes my day beautiful when I stop by. At times, they offer tea and snacks which explains how welcoming they want you to feel. I once noticed they carry a good selection of soaps and lip balm made from natural ingredients. Stop by when you are in town!

The prices are fair and they carry locally grown plants, so you know the plants are appropriate for our area. Miguel's crew came out and they were amazing. They were very courteous, and they know what they are doing. We are highly satisfied with the Garden Market and highly recommend them. They have sales that change weekly and I've had excellent results with everything I've purchased here. They have a guarantee program too which is a nice perk, can't beat it. Check out their blog as they have a discount card that you can sign up for and birthday savings too. They are my favorite garden stop for shrubs, hearty perennials, and trees.
