  • Funke's only accepts cash, checks, or debit cards

    As of April 1st 2009 (no Joke) we no longer accept credit cards. Greedy Bankers whining for bailouts & bonuses at the expense of the hard working people of America make it impossible in good consciense to support that malarky. No More! Not here!

    God grant us the sereneity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Serving the greater Cincinnati Garden Market for four generations since 1896

    We were Perhaps the single most comprehensive selection of perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and garden accessories in the region including tuned windchimes, garden furniture, tools, fertilzers and water gardening supplies. The unwillingness of garden consumers to buy plants in any significant numbers in anything less than perfect weather, and then only willing to pay what they did ten years ago while costs of operation have tripled in that time have forced us to shift focus towards the self sufficient organic method food production of our past.

    We look forward to a sustainable future of healthy and bountiful harvests.
