Welcome
The garden centerCharlottesvillehas trusted for over a century.
From annuals and perennials to vegetable starts, shade trees, and the hardscape materials that finish a property — Snow's Garden Center is the one-stop nursery and supply yard for Central Virginia. Our staff has the knowledge and experience to guide you through the challenges of soil and climate here in Jefferson's Country.
We carry gift items, garden accessories, tools, seeds, bulbs, garden accents, and more — alongside our nursery stock. And our selection of trees and shrubs is second to none. Look for our Snow's Bullet-Proof All-Stars tags throughout the nursery.

Snow's Famous
Topsoil & Mulch
Premium Shenandoah Valley topsoil amended with aged, composted horse manure — the perfect planting medium for shrub beds, vegetable gardens, and lawns. Plus double-shredded hardwood, pine bark, and dyed brown or black mulch — bagged or by the cubic yard.
By the Yard or by the Pallet
Gravel, Stone & Boulders
Stone dust, grey crusher run, 57's driveway gravel, pea gravel, and decorative river stone in three sizes — plus Shenandoah and Oakridge boulders for accents and walls. Everything you need to build a patio base, a French drain, a flowerbed border, or a dramatic estate entrance.
Hardscape Materials
Wall Stone, Flagstone & Steps
Sunrise Mountain, Weatherface, Maple Creek, and Pocono Blend wall stone for dry-stacked or mortared garden walls. Pennsylvania flagstone, Weatherface garden path stones, Belgian block, and cast-concrete or hand-cut stone steps — the same materials our crews build with.
