Jacavone Garden Center

I was looking for beach rose bushes (rosa rugosa) and called a few places before calling Jacavone. They had exactly what I was looking for and at a better price than other places. The person working was friendly and helpful and took the time to text picture me the plants before I made the drive to get them. I get there and the woman working had my order ready and someone was standing by to put it in my car. Again, she was so friendly and helpful with tips about caring for my shrubs. I also ordered mulch while I was there and within an hour it was delivered to my door. While there I picked up a few more things — herbs, etc. Everything looks so healthy and fresh. My car smelled like roses and basil all the way home and my shrubs look fantastic!!!

It’s pretty hard to find garden centers around here with a large selection of flowers. I remember in California, every other block would be filled with nurseries with plants from all over the world. Not all of them were big but most had variety. Sad to say most of the places I have come to find here are limited in supply or variety.
Jacavone was a compromise. Definitely not the largest garden center around but they were they had one of the largest nursery collection around with a fairly good price. I went just at the height of the vegetable planting season as they were just starting to bring out their tomato and vegetable plants. They had varieties upon varieties of tomatoes for very affordable prices. All were very well grown. They also had a fairly decent collection of rose bushes as well and I was looking to get a couple to add to my garden.
All in all, not a bad place. I still think that places like Home Depot have a more extensive collection/​variety of plants but here you are definitely going to find healthy plants. Drop on by and take a look for yourself. I’m sure you’ll come away buying something!

I was planning on going to Home Depot up the road for flowers but when I saw how highly this place was rated, I decided to give it a try! I have no clue about gardening and the staff was very friendly and helpful! The plant and flower selection was beautiful and well maintained. I didn’t think my bill was that expensive for everything I got either. So glad I tried it and happy to support a local business!

I love jacavones they have great plants and everything I want for my yard I look forward to them opening every spring! !!!

Found this lovely gem thanks to Unilocal — and want to make sure I continue to spread the word!
I mulled around the space, feeling a bit like Alice in Wonderland. All of the colors were so vibrant, and the smells were lovely. People were there purchasing flowers on their lunch break, and retired folk were perusing the isles, planning which plants would be added to their backyard oasis. I’m not going to lie, I was overwhelmed.
That’s where Connie stepped in. She asked me what I was looking for, and I told her I wanted a pretty pot of flowers for my sunny porch. Nothing to hang, since I doubt we hand hangers, and I sure wasn’t going to install those. I needed no drama flowers, bright with color, that would last me through the summer.
Together we walked the isles, and she asked me my preference on colors and textures. Before long, she grabbed a pot, threw in some soil, and magically threw my choices beautifully together.
They have succulents, veggies, trees, tons of hanging flowers, and can easily put together a container garden of your liking in a jiffy.

I’m really surprised there aren’t a hundred rave reviews on Unilocal for this place. First I went to Lowes, then the Ann & Hope garden outlet. Then I found this place. Only 10 minutes west of providence and well worth it. The quality of their plants was unbelievable, everything was so fresh and healthy (unlike, ahem, some other places I tried). Really outstanding selection of flowers, not to mention perennials, shrubs, veggies, herbs, succulents… I literally spent a couple hours just dreamily wandering through their inventory. Plus, it’s family run! The owner and her daughter were the ones to ring me up and gave me some helpful pointers on a couple new plants I’m trying this year. SO HAPPY to have found this place, this is what Unilocal is really for, finding those gems in the rough.

Yes, like many people, I’m tempted to go to the big box store’s garden center. I might save a few bucks but then I smack my forehead and head over to Jacavone — because I remember how beautiful my garden looked last year. When you go to Jacavone it is so well organized that even the most newbie of gardeners will be able to figure out what to plant and where. There are annuals for sun, annual for shade, perennials for shade, perennials for sun and hanging plants for every location. The people who work there are well-​informed and more than happy to share their knowledge with you. Today I asked where a coupe of specific plants were located and the staffer immediately recognized that I was looking for drought-​resistant plants that could sit in the sun all day. She pointed me in the right direction and then added where I could find a few other plants that would also work perfectly for me. Jacavone has the plants you will NEVER find at that big box store. And by the way, their plants are healthy and full and will thrive. They also have a great selection of shrubs and trees. Their prices are reasonable especially considering the excellent quality of flowers and plants that you are purchasing. I love this place.
