About Us

Since the 1920’s, the property at 2611 Corrine Drive has been the home of a beautiful, unique and tranquil place to transform your garden and lawn.  Palmer’s Garden & Goods has made the commitment to being a part of the community by promoting a lifestyle of health and happiness.  We believe that by surrounding yourself with plants you can fuel your heart and soul.

 

Our Family

The Palmer’s Garden & Goods family has been the heart and soul of the business.  With Jeff Palmer’s father serving the Orlando community with farm and gardening goods since 1947, the next generation continues to extend those beliefs and values.   For over a decade, Jeff and Allison have grown the garden center as well as their family.  With their three wonderful children and friendly, knowledgeable staff, they are blessed to welcome you to share the beauty of their garden and love for plants.

 

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the lives of our customers, employees, and the surrounding community by promoting a healthy and happy lifestyle while integrating plants into our enviornment with respect for mother nature.
