Bell Nursery plants are available exclusively at The Home Depot in the mid-Atlantic and Southern Ohio Valley. Plants are grown locally in company-owned greenhouses in Virginia, Maryland and Ohio, along with a network of 35 independent family farms on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Locally grown plants travel shorter distances, meaning plants are delivered fresh to Home Depot stores where our merchandising teams are on site to display and care for them.
Headquartered in Elkridge, Maryland, Bell Nursery is among the nation's largest growers of annuals and perennials. The company also supplies succulents, houseplants, tropicals, trees and shrubs to the stores it serves. Bell has four distribution centers serving nearly 200 Home Depots in Virginia, Maryland, DC, Delaware, as well as parts of North Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In addition to the company's 300 full time employees, close to 1000 seasonal employees are hired each spring.
