Our Garden Center and Nursery in Volo, Illinois
Our Roots: The Perricone Story
Our garden center in Volo, Illinois, opened its doors in 1996, founded by four brothers from Italy who shared a deep-rooted passion for growing and nurturing the land. With backgrounds steeped in agriculture and a culture that values family, hard work, and loyalty, they built the business from the ground up—one plant at a time. What began as a small local operation has blossomed into a trusted destination for homeowners, landscapers, and municipalities alike.
Challenges & Growth: Our Quality Shows & Grows
Over the past three decades, we’ve faced the same challenges that test any growing business—changing seasons, changing markets, and economic shifts—but our commitment to quality has remained constant. Every year, we’ve refined what we grow, expanded our offerings, and added services to better serve our customers. Our growth has come from one simple truth: when you deliver quality, word spreads. Our motto, “Our quality shows and grows,” reflects the reputation we’ve earned and the high standards we continue to uphold.
