Randy's Perennials & Water Gardens, Lawrenceville

Thousands of plants populate the cheery purple farmhouse and grounds at Randy’s Perennials & Water Gardens, where resident garden masters greet customer questions with horticultural knowledge derived from 25 years in business. Six display ponds spark landscaping inspiration and host species of albino catfish and butterfly koi, and staffers answer any water-gardening questions thrown their way and provide advice on purchasing from the selection of water-gardening accessories. A selection of edible greens like lettuce and collards and ornamental greens such as cabbage, mustard, and kale are tasty and decorative, while apple, peach, plum, and blueberry trees cheerfully sprout in front or back yards.
