BusinessWeek recently celebrated the best independent retailers in the country with a slideshow story. It's a nice piece that highlights why people love independent retailers, but I was a little sad that it didn't include any garden centers.
I'm not sure if that's because there are none on their radar or if they just didn't think any were worthy, but I think there are quite a few garden centers that equal retailers on their list in success and notoriety.
