STL Headliner Winner
Branneky Hardware is proud to announce that we have officially won the STL Headliner Award presented by the Post-Dispatch for “Best Garden/Nursery Store” in the Retail category! Five finalists are selected for this award, each through a nomination process, with the ultimate winner determined by an extended period of public voting. The winner was officially announced on August 26 at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, in Clayton.
Pictured to the right, the Branneky family celebrates while holding the special award, which is now proudly displayed at our checkout counter. From left to right: Tim Branneky II, Tim Branneky, Jackie Branneky, Tanner Branneky, Tyler Branneky, and Marie Philipp-Branneky.
Our garden center has always been a special part of Branneky Hardware, and we continually look for ways to improve it and provide even greater value to our customers. In recent years, Bev Branneky and Jackie Branneky, both Master Gardeners, have taken a hands-on approach to transforming the garden center into more than just a place to shop. Their goal is to create an experience centered around teaching, educating, and helping our customers succeed in their gardens.
From learning what to plant and when to plant it, to understanding how to grow successfully and what to expect throughout the gardening season, we want our customers to feel confident every step of the way. To help make that possible, we offer hundreds of free gardening handouts, organized by topic and category for customers to browse and take home.
This award is a tremendous honor, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who nominated us, voted for us, and continues to support our family-owned business. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your gardening journey and for making Branneky Hardware your local destination for all things garden and nursery!

City of Bridgeton Parade!
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary this year, we're excited to once again participate in the City of Bridgeton's annual 4th of July Parade!
This parade has long been one of the Branneky family's favorite traditions and a great opportunity to connect with the community that has supported us for generations. We'll be making our way down the parade route passing out candy, giveaways, and plenty of smiles along the way.
