Hornbaker Gardens is such an oasis for the serious gardener. The family who owns it, puts their heart and soul into everything they touch and it shows. Whether you just want to add a perennial or a piece of lawn art, they have everything to assist you in creating your own oasis. Neil, 2024
Hornbakers is an amazing place to buy perennials, annuals, shrubs and art for your garden. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The grounds with various varieties of plants in their natural settings are absolutely beautiful. We’ve been there several times over the past few years and are never disappointed with their stock or help in picking out plants. Craig, 2024

Great place to shop for plants especially hosta. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Chris, 2021
Such a treat to walk about the gardens and see the lovely art, beautiful plantings and the nice array of choices. Staff are knowledgeable and very helpful! If it’s used in a garden or outdoor space they know about it and likely have it. Trees, grasses, bushes, perennials, and annuals. They are known for hostas (large and small), daylilies, coral bells, and their many many pots. Water feature options are not lacking. Kristine, 2021

I was blown away by their selection. Amazing quality. You can tell they take pride in their product. Friendly staff. Chuck, 2023
We drive to Princeton from Chicago just to buy some new unusual hostas. We always find an awesome selection! Also we love to walk thru the beautiful gardens to give us ideas for our yard. We have many friends take the trip after seeing our yard & wanting hostas for their yard. Nowhere in Chicago has such an awesome selection! Linda, 2020

This is a must see stop, (and of course Shop)!!!! They have Amazing gardens to stroll through. They carry hundreds of varieties of hosta, unusual plants, succulents, herbs and perennials. A huge selection of beautiful pots, fountains and great additions for your gardens. We make a day out of it and usually drive up at least once or twice a year. We love this place!!! Sonya, 2021

Hornbaker Gardens is my go to place to purchase hosta online. I’ve tried 3 other hosta growers and Hornbakers hostas are growing faster and stronger than the ones I’ve purchased at some competitors. From my experience I’ll be purchasing all my future hostas at Hornbakers. Just wished I lived closer to visit the gardens in person. Thanks for offering such excellent plants! Judy-Sedro Woolley, WA
I received my hosta order today. They arrived in great shape. I will be a repeat customer! Thank you. Doris – Centerville, GA
We just received our shipment of Hostas! Thank you for an amazing selection of quality and size!! They arrived healthy and beautiful, and we are so excited about adding them to our garden! We have purchased hostas in the mail from other sources and been so disappointed. Your plants, however, were amazing! We will order again soon! Meg – Travelers Rest, SC
I just want to let you know how impressed I am with the order I placed with you. The plants arrived in very good condition and I couldn’t believe the size of the plants I received for the price! All of the hostas had multiple eyes and excellent root growth. I will not hesitate to order from you again. I learned your name when someone from the Hosta Library, Garden Forum, posted pictures of the beautiful plants he received, still wrapped in their plastic bags. I could clearly see what great quality you were selling. Thanks for making my garden more beautiful! Debra – Milwaukee, WI
Got my two Krossa Regal hostas today! Wanted to complement you on the quick delivery and the excellent condition of the plants! They were much larger than I had expected…such a good value. I will be most happy to keep ordering from you! Best wishes! Sue – Bartlett, IL
Received my order of 3 hostas & they look great. Thanks for the fine quality plants you sell. Will be ordering again as my hosta collection grows. It currently has about 125 different varities. Thanks again. Dennis – Centre Hall, PA
