Why You Might Consider Alternatives
While Sheridan Nurseries offers a lot, here's what you should be aware of before visiting:
- Pricing: The pricing on pots and accessories can be considered slightly on the expensive side. Prices are noted as not being cheap in general.
- Quality Variance: One experienced shopper has noted being disappointed with the quality, suggesting it was no better than what's available at "big box stores."
- Potential for Overcrowding/High Volume: With the popularity of this store, be aware that this store may get crowded, particularly during peak seasons.
- Seasonal Changes: Some seasonal items like certain trees are not always available; the cherry blossom tree was available at one point but not the second time the shopper visited.
- Specific Location Variations: While most reviews are positive, experiences can vary, as with one review about a lack of quality at a specific location, so your experience may vary, depending on which location you visit.
