Orange Beach Hardware Launches New Garden Center on Canal Road

Orange Beach Hardware Garden Center

Orange Beach, Ala. – (OBA) – Gardening enthusiasts and homeowners in Orange Beach will be thrilled to learn that the first Garden Center located in the city is now open. Orange Beach Hardware, located at 27525 Canal Road, just opened a new addition to its hardware offerings.


The garden center at Orange Beach Hardware will offer a wide range of gardening essentials, including a large variety of plants, soils, mulch, and pine straw. This expansion is aimed at catering to the diverse gardening needs of Orange Beach residents, providing them with quality supplies and expert advice all under one roof.


By introducing a garden center, Orange Beach Hardware is expanding its product offerings and filling a much-needed gap in the local market, gardening supplies.


For years, residents of Orange Beach and the surrounding areas have had to travel outside the city to purchase their gardening supplies. The introduction of a local garden center is a welcome change, offering convenience and accessibility to gardening supplies.


Owner Jack Galletta is a local business owner and gardener himself. Jack saw the need for a garden center in Orange Beach so that residents wouldn’t have to make the hour drive to the big box stores for supplies. "As a gardener myself, I understand the importance of having a local source for high-quality gardening supplies," Jack said. "We're not just opening a garden center; we're creating a community space where fellow gardeners can find everything they need, from vegetables to flowers to bedding material.”


Orange Beach Hardware prides itself on being a family-operated business that gives back to the community. Jack mentioned that his children will be joining him in the store for the summer season.


And with spring just around the corner, the launch of the garden center couldn't come at a better time. Residents are invited to visit Orange Beach Hardware to check out the new garden center. Additionally, Jack welcomes suggestions on how to enhance the store's offerings with items customers wish to see available.
