Bulbs

Bulbs make a great addition to any landscape adding huge splashes of color when they bloom. We carry a larger size bulb which means the plants grow larger and have bigger flowers. We select based on hardiness, bloom length, color, disease resistance, and overall performance. 

Fruit Trees

Our fruit trees and small fruiting shrub varieties are individually selected because we know they perform well in CNY conditions. We carry trees that are container grown for a season ensuring our customers are getting a tree with an established root system. 

Houseplants in greenhouse

Houseplants

Chuck Hafner’s has a wide selection of tropical, succulent, and exotic houseplants, available seasonally. Houseplants have many health benefits and can make our indoor spaces more beautiful and comfortable. Houseplants are also great for boosting mood and reducing stress!

Chuck Hafner's Lawncare

Lawn Care

Chuck Hafner’s Lawn Care Program was developed specifically for Central New York’s climate and conditions. It’s the ideal solution to help keep your lawn looking great throughout the year,
and is made locally here in New York State.

Central New York’s Largest Garden Nursery

When the Hafner family began planning their expansion, they knew straight away that they wanted the largest space possible to display the plants that they sell. In 2006 Jess Hafner and his team traveled around Europe and the US searching out the best examples of garden centers to inspire them while they were designing the new store. They returned with ideas both encompassing inspiration and functionality. The result was a garden center that includes a 7-acre nursery designed to be a gigantic landscape. Over 60 display beds divided by winding paved pathways gives our customers the best selection of high-quality nursery stock, displayed in a beautiful environment, easy to shop, and sure to inspire.

Gardening Guides

The team here at Chuck Hafner’s are well known for their knowledge across all gardening areas. To help share that knowledge with our customers, we have created a series of gardening guides. From taking care of your hanging baskets or houseplants to growing your own vegetables and herbs you will find tips, tricks, and hopefully some inspiration for your own garden and home.

Environmental

Many people would say the Hafner family have been green to the core all their lives. When they decided to build their new state of the art facility in 2008 here on Buckley Road the decision was made to make sure it was as environmentally sensitive as possible.
