Follow the Facebook icon at the top right of the page (or just click here) for a seasonal "pic of the day", "what's blooming", and "bloom report" updates from Riverbend Gardens & Nursery, as well as thousands of pics in our Facebook photo albums!  A little bit of beauty every day, straight from our garden (with the occasional picture of a frog, a snake, or a grandkid just to keep you on your toes).

2022 Special!

This year, Riverbend will continue to offer a free perennial with every in-person purchase over $10.00! We have an excellent selection of gift plants for our fantastic customers!  Come out for our incredible hostas and daylilies, and we'll send you home with a new friend!

Riverbend Gardens & Nursery is also the home of Allan & Shirley Koch, two horticulture fanatics who have spent the last four decades on one of the prettiest properties in Howick Township.  After raising four children they decided retirement just wasn't their cup of tea and decided to pursue their lifelong passion for plants.  In 2003 they opened their doors to their first customers, and through thick and thin, drought and flood, and a swarm of grandchildren they've created one of the most unique and outstanding nurseries in the province, specializing in hostas, daylilies, lilies, peonies, specialty fruiting shrubs, and heritage perennials.  Their award-winning gardens have been become a wedding destination, a "mother-stock" nursery, and the source of much joy for family, friends, and customers.  Plan your next day trip with Riverbend in mind.

Just a few images from our gardens to whet your appetite for a drive out to Riverbend Gardens & Nursery!
