Serenity Gardens is now in its second season as a retail operation, and is located about three miles east of Hillsboro on 190th.
With about 70 varieties of perennials, numerous annuals, 39 shrub varieties and 15 ornamental tree varieties, Serenity Gardens is ready to accommodate customers for the spring planting season.
