Custom Garden Center BigCommerce Theme
Sun and shade filters, brand pages and workshop seats for gardens
Half the questions at the register start with a description of somebody's yard: north-facing, clay soil, deer every night and about two hours of afternoon sun. A garden center that lets shoppers answer that on the website sells a lot more than one that lists plants alphabetically. Foxco builds a custom garden center BigCommerce theme with faceted search by sun, water, zone and deer resistance, departments for annuals, perennials, pottery, tools and seasonal decor, brand pages for the fertilizers and tools people ask for by name and workshop seats sold with a date option. Gift certificates go up front for the holidays. All of it comes installed and configured on your BigCommerce store for $999.
The right plant for every corner of the yard.

Garden Center theme questions
Is this a premade theme?
No, it's custom. Foxco starts from its BigCommerce framework for garden centers and builds it out with your brand, your departments and the pages your regulars use most.
When will the store be ready?
Most garden center stores are ready 7-10 days after we have your logo, photos and product list. Rush jobs depend on bandwidth.
Can shoppers filter plants by growing conditions?
Yes. Custom fields for sun exposure, water needs, hardiness zone, mature size and deer resistance feed the filters on each category. Filling those fields for a big catalog goes faster with a bulk import and we can scope help with the plant data as a custom project.
Can we sell workshop seats and gift certificates?
Gift certificates are built into BigCommerce and the theme puts them where holiday shoppers will see them. Workshops sell as products with dates as options and limited seats. Your BigCommerce plan and any paid apps are billed directly by BigCommerce and the app makers, outside the $999.
That description of a shady clay yard is a shopping list waiting to happen. The theme turns those conditions into filters so a customer can build the list at home and walk in with it on their phone.
Plants sorted by the yard they're going into
Every plant carries custom fields for light, water, zone, mature size and deer resistance. Shoppers check the boxes that match their yard and the category trims itself to what will survive there. Staff can point a phone caller to the same filters, which means fewer plants coming back dead in July and more customers trusting your recommendations.
Departments beyond the greenhouse
Pottery, tools, soil, bird feeders and seasonal decor each get a department and the brands customers ask for by name get their own pages. Foxco sets up buy online and pick up in store, so the order waits on a cart by the door. Wreaths and fresh-cut trees slot in as a seasonal department once the bedding plants are gone.
Classes and gifts that fill the slow months
Container gardening, pruning and terrarium workshops sell as products with dates as options and a cap on seats. Gift certificates sit in the header from Thanksgiving on and get redeemed in spring when the lot is full again. It's a simple way to keep the register moving during the weeks when nothing outside is blooming.
