HOW THE GARDENS GROW

BY CINDY JONES

Weber County’s best kept secret just became Davis county’s best kept secret, and if you love gardens, plants, or flowers, it’s a secret you’re going to want to know.

Country Gardens Nursery is a locally owned garden center that has been providing beautiful flowers, plants and landscaping resources from their West Haven location for the past 15 years. Recently owner Kim Hunter expanded to a second location near Boondocks in Kaysville.

“Many people come in and they’re surprised at our large selection because we’re a small nursery. We are excited to bring that surprise to Davis county.”

Country gardens boasts an impressive variety of fruits, vegetables, trees and shrubs as well as locally grown annuals and perennials. They also offer over 100 varieties of heirloom tomatoes that they grow themselves, from seed. Popular around Mother’s day, their selection of fairy garden supplies and lush, locally grown hanging baskets are a favorite among customers.

Utilizing not only his training as a landscape architect, but his passion for plants and all things that grow, Kim says the secret to Country Gardens’ success has been staying small enough to provide a friendly, personal experience for every customer.
