Our History
Our story began in 1963, when our founder, Pete Kossoudji, and his wife Shirley, opened the doors to North Dayton Garden Center at 1915 Troy Street. With a passion for gardening and a strong work ethic, Pete and Shirley worked tirelessly to build up the business, eventually establishing themselves as one of the premier garden centers in the Greater Dayton area. Today, our location at 1309 Brandt Pike boasts over 10 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring 15 greenhouses and 20 Hoophouses, as well as a wide range of products and departments.
