WESTBURY, N.Y. — Hicks Nurseries, Long Island’s largest garden center, is presenting a new experience in lieu of its traditional Flower & Garden Show. The Designer Gardens showcase opens March 10-28th and will feature eight stunning garden displays by Hicks Landscapes’ award-winning design team.
Gardens are designed to inspire real world solutions with plant and color combinations that create an attainable and unique setting for our Long Island homes. The top garden styles are covered ranging from classic to modern, seaside to urban, bohemian to paradise. Elements in each will include a place to sit, the warmth of fire, the tranquility of water, a symphony of plants and a path to lead the way.
Safety remains a top priority throughout the facility.
- The layout offers maximum space between gardens for people to move around and maintain a 6’ distance.
- The gardens are located in a 20,000 sq foot greenhouse with (18’ high) peaked roofs which allows for maximum air circulation and creates an outdoor environment inside.
° When weather permits, this space opens further with vented roofs and retractable walls. - A state-of-the-art air filtration system disinfects circulated air in all traditional retail spaces along with office and breakroom spaces creating a safe environment for both staff and customers alike.
- Social distancing protocols in place across the facility, adhering to all state mandates including:
° Regular cleaning and disinfecting of high traffic areas
° Mandatory mask wearing for all staff and customers
° Reduced staffing on site to mitigate risk of spread
° Protection at each cashiering station for both staff and customers
° New checkout process to ensure the easiest and quickest checkout possible - Store capacity monitoring system
- No in-person seminars
The Designer Gardens will be open March 10th – 28th during store hours, Monday-Sunday 8am-6pm.
