Last spring we opened our South Hadley location, celebrating Swenson Granite Works’ ninth store opening in New England and our fifth store in Massachusetts (Rowley, Medway, Hanover and Shrewsbury). It’s been fun getting to know the community. One year later, we heard from a few of our new neighbors, including realtor Aimee Kelly, that they thought we weren’t open to the public. Wow! That was a big surprise to us and we’re about to change that impression in a big way.

Attendees and exhibitors from across the Northeast will be attending the Boston Flower and Garden Show, one of the largest horticultural events in New England, from March 13-17, 2019 at Boston’s Seaport World Trade Center.

The show will feature brilliant indoor garden displays and vibrant floral designs from dozens of the region’s leading nurseries, landscapers, and florists.

Whether rustic or contemporary, minimal or intricate, all beautiful landscape designs have one thing in common: a well-balanced combination of hardscape and softscape.

Hardscape consists of the solid, heavy, unchanging parts of a landscape, such as stone paths, retaining walls, gravel and patios, while softscape describes the living, botanical elements of a landscape, including plants, soil, shrubs, and flowers Unlike hardscape, softscape is moveable and changes frequently—sometimes as often as several times per season. Your local Swenson Granite Works store can help with any hardscape design by supplying you with the natural stone and granite needed for your project.
