Country Garden & Nursery: An Informed Shopper's Guide

Why You Should Visit

  • You'll find a great selection of plants. The location offers both annuals and perennials, and a wide range of vegetable plants. You can expect a good variety, including flowers, herbs, and even double flower hollyhocks (which, according to a shopper, are much larger and healthier than those found elsewhere).
  • The plants are often described as healthy and thriving. Shoppers have praised the lush and beautiful flowers and plants, noting their overall quality and suggesting they are nurtured with care.
  • You can rely on knowledgeable and helpful staff. Grace, the owner, is particularly praised for her assistance. Staff is generally described as great and welcoming, and sometimes even dog-friendly.
  • You can find unique items. Besides the plants, you'll find a selection of gardening accessories, and also local honey and eggs.
  • They excel at custom floral arrangements. For special occasions, you can request floral pots; the shop creates spectacular arrangements, as demonstrated by a customer's experience with wedding floral arrangements.
  • It's a family-run business. Shoppers enjoy a neat, family-run business experience.

Why You Might Consider Alternatives

  • Prices can be higher than competitors. Be aware that plant prices might be a bit expensive. Some shoppers have found prices similar to boutique nurseries.
  • The facility's appearance might not meet everyone's standards. Some people noticed the lack of care and attention to detail, such as the placement of soil bags and fertilizers. The overall feel can be compared to an outlet mall rather than a traditional garden/nursery experience.
  • There can be inconsistent staff interactions. One shopper experienced an indifferent interaction with a staff member who sprayed water while the shopper was looking at a plant.
  • There have been reports of parking issues. One reviewer mentions a dog bite occurring on the property, so exercise caution with children and pets.
