In 1974 with $2 and a pickup truck full of azaleas, Pete & Linda Gulley started growing the family business, Gulley’s Garden Center in downtown Southern Pines. Over the years, Gulley’s has become a staple in the community– a gardening hub with a large variety of plants, shrubs, trees and garden supplies. Gulley’s Garden Center is a true old-fashioned family owned, family run business. Today, Pete’s children, Graham Gulley and Megan Gulley Hunt, now run the garden center with him.
Gulley’s Garden Center has grown from a humble family business into Southern Pines’ go‑to destination for lush plants, expert gardening advice, and full‑service floral design. In addition to offering a wide variety of houseplants, shrubs, trees, and garden supplies, Gulley’s is also a local florist, creating custom flower arrangements and cut‑flower bouquets for every occasion, from everyday celebrations to weddings and sympathy tributes, with convenient in‑store pickup and local delivery. Customers can easily browse and order flowers and a few plants online, making it simple to schedule fresh flower delivery or reserve seasonal blooms from this long‑standing, family‑owned garden and florist shop in downtown Southern Pines.
