About the Nursery

Multi-generational Orchard and Nursery. Top products: Fresh-cut Christmas trees, Seasonal blooms and greenery, Pick-your-own fruit crops, Garden center plants. Eckert's Garden Center, located at their flagship Belleville, Illinois farm, operates as part of a sprawling, eight-generation family-owned agricultural enterprise. While the business functions as an expansive multi-location agritourism destination—offering extensive pick-your-own orchards for peaches, apples, strawberries, and blackberries—they maintain a dedicated garden center component. This horticultural segment provides local homeowners and visitors with seasonal greenery, floral inventory, and gardening supplies, anchored by their winter selection of fresh-cut Christmas trees. Their business model integrates large-scale fruit production, retail farm markets, event hosting, and horticultural sales, serving the St. Louis, MO, and Lexington, KY, regional markets. Their operational focus is rooted in sustainable land stewardship, community-based family entertainment, and the retail of both fresh produce and ornamental plants to provide a comprehensive, year-round farm-to-customer experience.

There are a few places you can go and get what you want and what you need. Eckert's garden center has been that place for my family and I for several decades now. Today I needed nasturtiums, or more specifically my spaghetti squash insisted on having a companion plant and nothing but nasturtiums would do. Not wanting to insult my squash plant I'll go along with their ploy, because clearly they just wanted to share the garden with those beautiful orange blooms. Who am I to argue with Mother nature? With a little luck and the help of eckert's garden center I hope to have a lot less squash bugs this year! Thank You.

We had so much fun at Eckert’s Garden Center. It truly has that Hallmark movie feel — walking through rows of fresh trees, everything smelling like Christmas, and just taking it all in. One of the highlights was watching the Newfoundland dogs help pull the trees to people’s vehicles — such a fun and unexpected touch. The festive atmosphere, along with the country store filled with apple goodies and other treats, makes this such a great place to spend time and get into the holiday spirit.
