Al's Garden Center Kids Club Growing Sweet Peas

The Sky's The Limit: Growing Sweet Peas

Sweet peas are fun and easy to grow. Their delicate fragrance and beautiful blooms have made them a favorite for many gardeners. We will plant a pot of sweet peas and make a little twig tee-pee trellis for them to grow on.

Founded by Al and Ann Bigej in 1948, Al's Garden Center was originally known as Al's Fruit Stand. In 1959 Jack Bigej joined his father and began to develop what is known today as Al's Garden Center. Al's Garden Center is a third-generation family owned and operated business.

Al's dream has grown into Al's Garden Centers in three locations: Woodburn, Sherwood and Gresham. The Garden Centers are supplied and supported by Al's Greenhouses. Al's Greenhouses grow 90% of the soft-stemmed annuals and perennials sold at Al's Garden Centers. Currently, Al's Garden Center is the largest full-service garden center in the Willamette Valley, specializing in the production and sale of premium quality annual and perennial bedding plants as well as nursery stock.
