Family Owned and Operated

Our Story

For over 49 years, the Troelstra Family has been providing beautiful plants, trees and shrubs, garden supplies, sheds, gazebos, furniture and more. Garden Time prides itself on offering the largest selection of the highest quality products with excellent customer service.

The story began in 1956 when Harry Troelstra and his wife emigrated from Holland. The Troelstras lived out the American dream as successful farmers and in 1967 they purchased Ouderkerk’s Garden Center on Dix Avenue in Glens Falls, New York. Within a few years the business had grown considerably, and by 1975 Harry moved the business to its current location at Quaker Road in Queensbury.

In 1982, Harry and his family opened The Silo Restaurant and Gift Shop at exit 19 off interstate 87. The Silo has been serving our community and beyond for over 40 years, offering fine food and gifts in the foothills of the Adirondacks.

While the Queensbury location continued to grow, the family ventured north and east and in 1997 opened Garden Time locations in Whitehall and in 1998 expanded further into Rutland, Vermont.

Seeing exponential growth in their outdoor department, offering the highest quality storage sheds, gazebos, horse barns, playsets, outdoor poly furniture, and more recently, modular homes and cabins-- Garden Time added Outdoor Structures location in Clifton Park in 2011 and 2012 in Wilton, New York. 

Today, the businesses are operated by Harry's sons: Frank, Fred, Jim and Eric Troelstra, continuing the family legacy and its' commitment to excellence and serving the community!

Here at Garden Time we stand behind our product and offer a 10 year Limited Warranty on our structures. This warranty covers your structure from any manufacturing defects that are not caused by normal wear and tear.

When used and maintained appropriately, Garden Time guarantees that our products will remain structurally sound. Normal wear and tear, fading of exterior surfaces, and general aging, which is common of any outdoor product that is exposed to natural elements, is not covered under warranty. As with a building which is located on top of the ground, settling may occur. You will also need to periodically clean, paint, caulk and keep vegetation from growing around the edges of your outdoor building which will cut off ventilation.

Many of our products also come with a manufacturers warranty. Please speak to your salesperson for more information.

Our Restaurant and County Store

The Silo

In 1982 The Silo Country Store was born. At first, there was just a small area for breakfast and lunch, but as the popularity of its food grew, The Silo saw a series of changes to make room for more dining space, and the name officially became The Silo Restaurant and Country Store.
