ABOUT US
FAMILY OWNED
Quality Is Locally Grown
Just like a well-tended plant, Westwood Gardens has grown and matured over the years. With some “Miracle Grow” from the Black family, several key employees and the community we have sprouted new leaves…or stores…and are now a large local business.
Westwood Gardens started as a seedling in 1982. Founded by Brenda and Russell Black, Westwood originated from a few greenhouses called Blackland Farms. The idea was sparked when the couple moved to a farm in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. The two loved plants, so Brenda started rooting plants into dish gardens and sold them to local stores in 1974. Soon, the business started to grow.
In 1982, the first Westwood Gardens storefront opened on Wedington drive. We decided that growing our own plants was the key…it is what made the business work.
Since our humble beginnings, Westwood Gardens has grown into a multi-store garden center and nursery business in Northwest Arkansas with locations in Springdale, Rogers and two in Fayetteville.
Even with all the growth, some things have never changed. Westwood still strives to bring the very best quality plants to market – in most cases that means growing them by hand. Our grower, Debra Bauer, is dedicated to the care and nurture of our plants. We grow an unbelievable selection of annuals and perennials. We also carry an amazing variety of trees, shrubs, tropicals, groundcovers and even garden giftware.
