Our Story

Hanson's Garden Center may be newly planted, but it’s growing from strong, local roots. In 1980, Vic Hanson opened Hanson’s Building Supply with a simple goal: serve South Whidbey Island with integrity, hard work, and hometown service. That foundation has supported generations of builders, homeowners, and do-it-yourselfers ever since.

In 2024, he expanded that vision with Hanson’s Garden Center—bringing the same values outdoors. Whether you're planting your first vegetable bed, refreshing your landscape, or just looking for inspiration, our team is here with friendly advice, locally grown plants, and everything you need to grow with confidence.

Still family-owned and operated, we’re proud to continue Vic’s legacy of serving this community. For us, it’s about more than just soil and seedlings—it’s about building relationships, growing beauty, and supporting our neighbors, one garden at a time.
