About Windy-Lo
In 1961, Phil Flagg founded Windy-Lo Nursery. Since that time, the nursery has grown from a roadside stand into a complete garden center — but it's still family-owned and run, and it's still independent. You'll love our rural South Natick grounds where we grow the healthiest and loveliest plants that will ever adorn your home and garden. You'll love our beautiful, extensive and well-organized display gardens, our large and sunny retail greenhouse, and our country shop full of unique New England treasures and gardening necessities. You'll especially love the personal attention you get from our many gardening experts!
