where the best gardens begin
On June 1, 1981 Rick Woodley and a partner organized what is today Woodley's Garden Center. At inception, the company was strictly residential/commercial lawn maintenance.
In 1983, After two years in business they realized the business needed to be on a main traffic artery.
On July 12, 1985, Four acres of prime land was purchased in the Northeast area of Columbia. In April of 1986 the garden center and retail store opened and has remained and expanded at this location.
Today, Woodley's Garden Center is a full-service retail operation on 5 acres and is known for its professionalism, Horticultural knowledge, variety, quality, materials and of course, excellent service.
In 2004, Rick began work on his second location in the Irmo/Ballentine area and construction began in Summer 2006 on a village-style retail and residential mixed-use concept. The Woodley's opened their second location with a ribbon cutting event on May 4, 2007.
