The Cultivate’26 retail bus tour visited four top garden centers in northeast Ohio.
Four northeast Ohio garden retailers showcased how expansive product selection and thoughtful shopping experiences can make for a memorable customer visit.
Here’s a look at highlights from each retailer.
Sheiyah Market
Sheiyah Market is a shopping destination in Amish Country, with four distinct retail experiences — Country Gatherings and the Village Gift Barn house home décor and gifts, while visitors can shop for apparel at Sheiyah Style Boutique and find garden goods at the Gardens.
Petitti Garden Center — Bath Township
Petitti Garden Center’s Bath Township location opened in April 2025. Formerly an office complex, the building was transformed into a retail store while preserving its original architecture.
Bremec Garden Centers
Bremec Garden Centers has an extensive selection of annuals, trees, shrubs, perennials, tropicals and houseplants, as well as northeast Ohio’s largest assortment of fountains, statuary, pottery and stone in its Fountain Studio.
Petitti Garden Center — Avon
Visible from Interstate 90 in Avon, this Petitti Garden Center opened in 2007. The first design of its kind in the U.S., the greenhouse is 50 feet wide and 40 feet tall. The architect behind the design is Chris Primett of Malcolm Scott Consultants in the UK, though Angelo Petitti also contributed by choosing the natural colors, stone floors and soft lighting inside.
