THE PONDEROSA EXPERIENCE

Not your average garden center.

We're the only garden center in Eastham — and a genuinely different experience from the big, automated nurseries down-Cape. Every single plant is hand-watered, with eyes-on, hands-on attention most days. It's why our plants leave healthier.

Wander among the deepest native selection on the Cape, step into the tropical solarium to meet our resident parrots, browse custom containers made to order, and find local honey, soap, candles and photography in the gallery.

"Come and visit us to see the latest and greatest."
