A Bargersville garden center is the go-to source for the new, highly coveted glow-in-the-dark firefly petunias as the first bioluminescent, light-emitting flowers to be sold to the public. These petunias look like typical white petunias during the day but emit a soft, green, moon-like glow at night.
To achieve more magical results through assisting homeowners and building managers with turning creative landscaping visions into realities is the knowledgeable and patient 25 team members at Miss M’s Home and Garden at 4415 N. St. Road 135.
Namesake for Mary Kirchner, co-owner, and McKella Marsh, retail manager, Miss M's nursery plus home décor center became a new addition during September 2023 of the retail division of Sundown Gardens based in Westfield. As a garden and landscape services business launched during 1949 in Carmel, Sundown was relocated to Westfield in 2016.
Sam Marsh, Miss M's manager and Bargersville resident, says the team enjoys helping customers create "colorscapes" with flowers that bloom at different times to provide ongoing beauty and inspiration.
"Plants can improve mental health, increase home values, enhance curb appeal, expand outdoor aesthetics, provide a great hobby and boost overall well-being," he adds. "Oftentimes, people bring us pictures and thoughts, and we put those into action."
The full-service garden center carries garden supplies, show-stopping annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, house plants, vegetables, herbs, fertilizers, pottery, patio furniture, seasonal home décor, holiday items and outdoor decorations, such as bird baths, statues, abstract art, trellis and garden screens.
The 10,000-square-foot facility includes a main building and three greenhouses. Sam says customers go home with plant care maintenance guides.
During peak season weekly shipments of annuals arrive at Miss M’s, largely grown locally in Indiana. They have everything from hanging baskets to combination planters and bedding flats to gallon-sized annuals, including favorites such as Begonias, Dahlias, Geraniums, Impatiens, Marigolds and Petunias.
Miss M’s Garden Shop offers a variety of garden supplies, including gardening gloves, shovels, fertilizers, soil, rakes, hoses, gardening hats and gift sets. The team also provides trendy yet useful outdoor and garden accent pieces. Gift cards also are available for in-store purchase.
For holiday home décor, Miss M's inspires through stunning displays in the garden shop, unique ornaments, gifts, nativity scenes, artificial Christmas trees of various sizes and a wide selection of artificial garland. They also have fresh-cut Fraser fir trees ranging from 5 to 12 feet, live garland, wreaths and porch pot greenery, along with an annual holiday open house.
Now while shifting into spring, April is a perfect time to buy new patio furniture or to freshen home decorations, both of which Miss M's carries in abundance. Sam says a new furniture line that they offer is from the Lloyd Flanders collection, which is premium all-weather wicker, woven vinyl and teak outdoor furniture.
They offer an all stainless steel hardware poly line of patio furniture that includes Adirondack chairs and outdoor dining sets, too.
"We also have very popular smokeless, stainless-steel fire pits that are movable, making them very flexible and handy centerpieces for patios," says Sam.
This caring team hosts informational workshops, such as a recent one about growing with worm castings in garden beds, landscapes and house plants, which showcased guest speaker Christian Stone, owner of Hoosier Worm Daddy.
Sam states, “If anyone has questions about their landscape or garden, or needs inspiration, our team at Miss M’s is a wealth of knowledge, all eager to help. Our team prides itself on great customer service, product knowledge and high-quality products offered to the community from a locally owned small business."
Miss M's operating hours: Mondays through Fridays 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sundays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
