The 2025 Top 100 Independent Garden Centers List, sponsored by Lightspeed, is here!
Garden Center magazine’s 2025 Top 100 Independent Garden Centers List is based on 2024 retail revenue for the single largest or flagship location as reported by garden centers in North America. All Canadian retail revenue numbers have been converted to USD by the submitting garden centers.
Garden centers that reported the same revenue received the same ranking on the list.
For IGCs with multiple locations, the location listed is their single largest or flagship location.
Thank you to all of the IGC representatives who submitted information. The Top 100 IGCs will be honored at the 2025 Garden Center Conference & Expo (Aug. 5-7 | Kansas City, Missouri). Look for continuing coverage online.
