Garden Heights Nursery thrives as cool weather slows spring rush

Tucked along a busy stretch of Big Bend Blvd in Richmond Heights, MO, Garden Heights Nursery has quietly grown into one of the St. Louis area’s favorite garden spot. But in the early week of May this year, the nursery isn’t just busy—it’s thriving, buoyed by a stretch of cooler, more forgiving weather that has extended the planting season and drawn in a steady stream of gardeners eager to dig in.
