Ask anyone in the Hampton Roads area where to go shopping for plants, and they will direct you to McDonald Garden Center. Founded in 1945, the family owned and operated business was started by two brothers with a vision to bring high-quality garden plants and products to the residents of Hampton, Virginia. In 1973, the center was purchased by the Anderson family. Since then, business has grown and expanded into the southside of the Hampton Roads area with the addition of seasonal garden markets as well as the landmark year-round location in Virginia Beach. McDonald Garden Center also offers landscape design and installation services throughout the area.
