Hillcrest Gardens, opened in 1983, is a small retail landscape nursery nestled in the heart of Needham Center. Open April 1st through Dec 24th of every year, they receive regular shipments of high quality annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs throughout the season. Their products are laid out in such a way that it provides the viewers with ideas about landscape design. When strolling through the gardens, the feel is more intimate than most garden centers, and that is the goal: for you to envision the plants at your own home.
