Welcome to Lockwood's Greenhouses!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! We are CLOSED so our employees can have a family day, and we wish the same for you!
We hope you enjoy our site, for gardening news and advice, and information about great plants and gardening events. Our garden center is dedicated to provide high quality service, education, and superior plants for your yards and gardens. We carry a full line of perennials and annuals, shrubs, and small specimen trees.
Our Season Doesn't Quit!
The gift shop and plant departments keep going all summer, unlike some garden centers. We maintain and keep potting up the plants in order to provide top quality at all times. The retail shop and spring plant departments have new things every week for you. We're mostly about plants... but there have been customers who declare they come just for the home decorating items, gifts, Thymes products, or accessories (from Switch-flops to sun hats, eco-bags, and lightweight lovely jewelry.)
July Hours
Monday through Friday-- 9:00am until 8:00pm,
Saturdays-- 9:00am until 6:00pm,
Sundays-- 10:00am until 5:00pm
Directions:

Where we started
Lockwood's Greenhouses and Farm has been growing and selling quality flowers, plants and vegetables on Clark Street in Hamburg since 1914. The owners are father and son, Harry and Steve Lockwood, and it's very much a family business--with many Lockwood family members helping out and a large extended family that make up our staff. Our Garden Center Manager is Teresa Buchanan. Mary Gurtler is our professional designer responsible for merchandizing--one of the reasons you will find our shop so beautiful. Sally Cunningham provides educational programs and horticulture consultation. Along with longtime staff--Jeannie Farrell, Susan Snopkowski, and Stephanie Stewart-- we have many other talented individuals who advise customers in choosing hard goods or plants. We work well together, and our customers can feel it in the warm atmosphere and cheerfulness of the place.
Our growing department is part of our success too. Head grower Jill Kisker has worked closely with Harry and Steve for many years. She's an expert in growing and maintaining both traditional annuals and container plants as well as all the newest annuals, tender perennials, and tropicals that we're using in designer baskets. Julie Emerling also supports the growing team, behind the scenes, and helped maintain the look of the retail perennials for years. Donna Connolly, the houseplant lady propagates most of our houseplants, and keeps the houseplant portion of the shop beautiful. Margie Vogel is Jill's assistant, working at planting and maintaining the annuals. Marge also manages our IPM greenhouse program, where we use biological control to manage most greenhouse pest problems. |

As the years go on we continue to expand and improve the gift shop and garden decor department. (Soon you'll be invited to come and stroll stroll our walkway to see some of the newest and best on display... ten months of the year!) See you soon...
(Pictured here: On display in March in the retail shop--statuary and a sampling of outstanding tropicals and houseplants. Do try a Clerodendron (bleeding heart vine) this year if you have never done so. It blooms even in a shady location, in soil or a hanging basket, and pumps out volumes of white blossoms with red "hearts." Then it goes inside as a fine houseplant for winter.)
(Pictured below: Original art at Lockwood's by the talented Samantha Platt. Many bird species, in several sizes--all available at modest prices too.) |
