Feeney’s Garden Center in Lower Southampton has announced it will soon shut its doors.

In a note to customers, the owners expressed their gratitude for the community’s support over the years.

While no specific closing date has been set, the garden center will begin its closing sales this Friday.

On Facebook, local residents mourned the loss of the business.

“Noooo! It won’t be the same without our annual trip to Feeney’s,” one Northampton Township resident wrote.

“Feeneys was always a yearly tradition with the kids seeing the amazing Christmas store – it captivated their imaginations and the animals were always a hit!” another local wrote.

“I am literally tearing up at the news. This was a staple of my childhood and early adulthood, and I still travel in my 50s to see your store. My grandparents lived a few blocks away and it was a staple of Christmas to wander through. Thank you for all the memories,” shared on customer, who added her 90-year-old father was there when the business opened.

“I have been going to Feeney’s for years and have bought my trees and decorations. They always had ever different decorations and loved the different tree designs. Love the Irish room and how each year the front had a different theme. This Christmas it was the Grinch. I will definitely miss Feeney’s,” a Horsham woman wrote.

Founded in 1954 by James Feeney, the center began as a modest roadside nursery with just 12 parking spaces. Over the years, it grew into a major local business, boasting 300 parking spaces and an expansive indoor facility that features gifts, indoor accessories, and patio furniture.
