Mark and Kathy will show you the way to a beautiful garden, offering plants grown on site and sharing knowledge gained over decades. We love this place and look forward to our next visit.
The plants I purchased in June have been healthy and vigorous all through this very hot and dry summer. I will be back for more!
I buy all of my perennials here. They are much bigger and healthier than big box stores, and also nurseries like Mahoney’s and Russell’s. I now only go to the nursery for annuals and vegetables. Rainbow Perennials also only carries the best varieties. I have a cottage garden with tons of perennials in it, and the ones from here are biggest and healthiest. The owners are very knowledgeable and helpful as well. It is well worth the drive! And you can stop for some farm fresh produce and an ice cream on your way there. Don’t shop anywhere else! They only take cash or checks, but still well worth it.
I love this family-owned and run perennial nursery. The owners are so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. And they grow every plant they sell! They have an amazing selection of perennials and probably the widest variety of hostas I have ever seen! In the fall, they have gorgeous mums and asters. Be sure to check next to the house to see their selection of trees and shrubs, too. I moved into a home with no garden and now have several beautiful perennial gardens that the bees and butterflies love. I've purchased 95% of my plants from Rainbow. This is my absolute favorite nursery!
I drive around every Garden Center there is and I had never heard of them before then I Googled garden centers near Acton and they came up and boy am I glad I found them they have a great selection their plants are so healthy and they're very knowledgeable and very helpful
