Reds Garden Center & Fireplace Logs

We are excited to share the news of Governor Pritzker's rules for garden centers and nurseries to open to the public. While we are excited about being open, we still must ensure the safety our employees and you, our customers. You'll find everything you need to decorate your home or office for the holidays at Reds. We have fresh-cut trees, pre-lit artificial trees, wreaths, boughs, garland, swags, pine and spruce tips and tops, lights, and ornaments. And no holiday setting would be complete without plenty of poinsettias and tabletop greens.

With fourteen greenhouses and acres of off-site growing area, we are able to supply plants hardy to this area. Shop in a beautiful garden setting for trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, roses, groundcovers, houseplants, and tropicals.

Reds Garden Center has everything you'll need to make your garden grow! Each season, we search for the newest, environmentally sound products to add to our list of time-tested favorites. We carry only the finest brands of bulk and bagged topsoil and soil amendments, mulches, pesticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and seeds; we do not carry gimmicks or products we know to be ineffective and a waste of money. Reds has also formulated our own custom blends of fertilizers and grass seeds for the conditions we face here in northern Illinois and the surrounding area.

Creating a beautiful landscape to enhance the value of your home has never been easier. Whether you need a few plants to rejuvenate your garden or a full landscape plan, Reds has the plants and the expertise to meet all your residential and commercial needs. The object of good design is to solve problems. Fortunately for our customers, the landscaping team at Reds is adept at producing elegant, effective solutions for outdoor spaces. At Reds, we specialize in understanding the confluence of plants, landforms, and hardscape (the manmade fixtures of an outdoor area).

Deciduous shrubs, those that lose their leaves in fall, give seasonal color and texture to the landscape. Flower and fruit displays, interesting foliage shapes and colors, and even bark color and texture add outdoor interest. Shrubs don't just have pretty faces, they can serve a definite purpose as border plants, accent plants with seasonal color, wildlife habitats, or as screening against an undesirable view or for privacy. The right shrubs can bring a sense of completion to your landscape design, but determining which shrubs to choose can be a difficult decision.

At Reds, plants are our passion. Visit our large garden center for the finest selection of plants available today in a variety of balled, burlapped, and container-grown sizes. We carry over 450 varieties of evergreens, shade trees, grasses, and shrubs, both old-time favorites and the newest cultivars. Our plants are carefully selected for hardiness, and we are always researching new varieties to add to our inventory. We also offer a complete line of annual and perennial flowers in our greehhouses to put color in your garden from the first signs of spring until late autumn.

Houseplants are the perfect indoor companions for winter and are a way to bring life and color into your home. We have a vast array of ferns, foliage, tropicals, and flowering plants as well as a great selection of cacti and succulents, all lovingly cared for in our greenhouses. Whether you are looking for foliage or flowers, terrarium plants or large indoor tree specimans, we have them all. Plus, we have new shipments arriving regularly so check back often for the latest varieties. When choosing a houseplant plant, it is important to consider its watering, temperature, and light needs.
