Your Trusted Garden & Heating Supply Store Since 1937
Founded in 1937, Robbins Garden Center has been a cornerstone of Oxford's business community for nearly a century. Our family-owned business began as a gas station and repair shop before evolving into a diverse enterprise encompassing sand and gravel operations, construction, and ultimately our current focus on garden supplies and alternative fuel heating solutions. Specializing in organic growth through market demands, we established our greenhouse operations in the 1980s and expanded into New England's largest stove shop during the 1990s energy crisis. With fourth-generation family members actively involved in daily operations, we maintain hands-on expertise in both horticultural products and certified heating solutions.Our extensive inventory includes premium mulches, ornamental plants, agricultural feed, and a comprehensive selection of wood pellets, corn, and coal stoves. Backed by decades of technical training and certified installation experience, our team delivers expert product recommendations alongside reliable delivery services using a modern fleet of specialized vehicles. Committed to maintaining local ties, we continue serving the same community that has supported us through generations of business evolution.
