Buxton's Garden Farm
|
|
|
Starting out as a small roadside stand, selling sweetcorn out of the back of a pick-up truck, we have grown into a year-round garden center. Buxton's Garden Farm & Flower shop has grown in our services and products to who we are today. Found on Rte. 121, 3 miles west of Sullivan, IL, we are a great small town business continually growing and changing.
In 1997, they built what they called "The Shed" on a 21 acre farm right off of Rte. 121. It had a rock floor and they sold just enough vegetables to keep the their kids busy in the afternoons. Over the years we have grown and now have four greenhouses in addition to our little "shed" that is now well known as "Buxton's Garden Farm and Flower Shop."
