Why You Might Consider Alternatives

• Potential for Pests: Be aware that some shoppers have experienced pest infestations (gnats and mealy worms) in plants purchased from Woodhill Garden. It's wise to isolate new plants to avoid infecting your existing collection.
• Price Considerations: The premium plants and some "not so internet famous" plants may be considered pricey. Some reviewers feel the prices are higher than at competitors like Walmart or Home Depot.
• Quality Concerns for Specific Items: The quality and variety of vegetable plants are not always up to par.
• Inconsistent Staff Experiences: While many find the staff friendly, some shoppers have had negative experiences, particularly with returns or addressing plant health issues. In some cases, staff were perceived as unhelpful or unfriendly.
• Seasonal Limitations: If visiting late in the season, be aware that the selection of certain items, such as hanging baskets and perennials, might be limited.
• Limited Selection of Rare Plants If you're looking for rare or a very wide variety of plants, you might not find them here.
