Established in 1998, in Bigfork Montana, Swan River Gardens has become one of the top family owned full service “hometown garden center” in the Flathead Valley.  Nestled at the base of the Swan Range Mountains are 13 greenhouse, large gift shop and a vast nursery yard of plant material.  Swan River Gardens is Montana’s leader in variety, quality and selection.

Here at Swan River Gardens, we grow and sell annuals, perennials, shrubs & trees plus all the necessary hard goods such as chemicals and hand tools.  We grow and tend to a large selection of extraordinary and traditional annuals throughout the season.  Along with growing thousands of hardy deer resistant perennials that are customer favorites.  Our tree and shrubs are grown onsite or brought in finished from nurseries in similar cold climates.  We are the Flathead Valley’s premiere source for hardy deer resistant annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees.

In addition to our extensive plant selection, Swan River Gardens offers Landscape Design & Installation services.  Whether you want your home to look like it dropped from the sky and landed in the native Montana landscape or have a well-tended perennial garden with color blooming all summer long, look to Swan River Gardens to design what's right for your tastes and style.

Custom plantings of annual hanging baskets or containers is another very popular service Swan River Gardens provides.  Our experienced designers have been creating exceptional baskets and containers for 20 years.  Whether you are a commercial merchant or a homeowner, we will plant and tend to your custom plantings in our greenhouses until you are ready to take them home.
