Our Story

Rooted in community, grown with care

Sunnybrook Gardens began as a modest family operation with a single greenhouse and a deep conviction that every piece of land in White County deserves attention and intention. What started as a passion project has flourished into Carmi's trusted destination for everything horticultural.

Our team lives and breathes gardening. We know the soil, the seasons, and the subtle differences between a good plant and a great one. Whether you're transforming a backyard oasis or outfitting a commercial landscape, we bring the same thoughtful expertise to every interaction.

Family-Owned Generations of gardening knowledge passed down and practiced daily

"The love of gardening is a love shared; the joy of growing something beautiful is a reward returned tenfold with every bloom."

— Sunnybrook Gardens Philosophy
