Right off the main road in Centre Hall, Sammis is a hidden gem. They have everything from flowers to herbs and veggies to perennials and shrubs. Staff is always around to help you out. It is a working greenhouse, so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues. Prices are pretty solid for how the plants are. Especially later in the summer, their selection is discounted. read more

Huge selection of succulents! Lots of types I've never seen before!! 3/$10. Met the owner, very nice. The woman who works there was super informative!! We thought about a few plants but couldn't find prices. Would be great if they had way more price signs. Nice parking lot, beautiful drive to Centre Hall, near Brothers Pizza. Only issue was very little room between the long rows of plants. I had to traverse each isle sideways, turn at the end and traverse sideways back, with a hose running along the ground. This kept me from getting more than I did because I wasn't sure where I saw a few and didn't want to do the sideways thing again. Will definitely go back when I unintentionally kill the plants I got today! read more

This is the only place I'll stop locally for my garden plants each spring. They have an enormous selection of vegetables, herbs and flowers, both annuals and perennials, flowing baskets, small trees and shrubs for landscaping. Their wholesale prices are great, some of the best you'll find in the area, and the quality of the plants is excellent. My tomatoes and peppers are thriving this year as always, and producing a lot of fruit. Their variety of herbs is impossible to ignore - chocolate mint, pineapple sage, and many different kinds of oregano are just some of the things I experimented with this year. It's impossible to walk out of Sammis' without loading up a whole cart of little seedlings - which are going to turn into some huge plants by the end of the season! Their flowers are gorgeous - I'm always especially impressed by the bright magnolias in a dozen different shades. They've also improved the labeling of the seedlings, so you can tell more easily which kind of tomato, pepper or other plant you're buying (they all look the same when they're five inches tall!). I recently stopped back at Sammis' for some mums for the fall, and they had a great variety of colors and sizes at very fair prices (three large pots for $10, and they had some even larger ones for about $9 each). The man working (I believe he was one of the owners) told me he'd just sold a few hundred of them - for resale! So keep that in mind when you're buying your mums at the grocery store - save your money and go right to the source! They had some leftover herbs, flowers, ornamental cabbages, and huge hanging Boston ferns. Sammis staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. I remember looking for something they ended up not having this past spring (Calendula) but I had a couple people looking around for me (it's a huge greenhouse so I can understand them needing to double-check). The owner ended up coming to me and apologizing that they did not grow any this year. Of all the random things I was looking for, that was the only one they didn't have. They'll be closing for the season whenever the mums are gone, and I believe they reopen in the Spring some time around Easter/early Spring. read more

I go to this place every year to start our large vegetable garden. Lots of stock of the staples- not much unique varieties (Tate's farm is better for that). Prices are good here. Staff is nice and competent. Owner is not consistently friendly- but his well run garden store makes up for that. read more

I used to think Sammis was one of the best places to go to purchase my plants each spring. However, on my last visit (May/June 2016), they charged me an additional 3% on my total plant purchase, stating the reason was I was using a charge card (Visa). I don't even know if that is legal in Pennsylvania! Regardless, 2016 is my last visit to Sammis. read more

By far the BEST greenhouse in the area!!! I could spend hours looking at all of the beautiful plants they offer!
