I've lived in NW Boise for 8 years. Before this I lived a little further south…read more In the 8 years of being in this area, I had never been to Madeline Georges..:or as ima call it, Maddie's. Easier when writing a review. We have 2 nurseries in my area. Maddie's and Edward's. Edwards is MASSSIVVVE. I mean, MASSIVE! It's better than any Home Depot or Lowe's nursery tho. Always buy from real nurseries. Edwards review will be coming after this one. Maddie's! Man, what a fantastic little place. I'm so glad we finally decided to go. Last year we painted our house black. So we, after all these years, decided to put a lot of work into our front gardens. I have personally always enjoyed rose gardens. Had one in Phoenix that was absolutely incredible. I managed to keep them unbelievably beautiful...even in that super dry, DEPRESSINGLY hot environment lol. I had a rose "garden" briefly here at this house. Sadly, I didn't tend to it the way I should have. Anyway! This year...started a new one. Bought 3 rose bushes from Maddie's and 5 from Edward's. The 3 from Maddie's: the "Marilyn Monroe (pics should be included. I believe I attached some) The Pope John Paul II (we needed a pure white rose up against a black background. STUNNING roses! Marilyn is next level stunning, too) 3rd one we got was a a Mr Lincoln. We got him a a few weeks. No buds yet, but we have new life on it and we are super excited to see what comes in a few weeks. Maddie's is a place you can tell where they take VERY great care of their plants. It's much smaller than Edward's. So it's almost like they could do a "one to one" type of thing. Not actually do that, but hopefully you get what I mean by that. It's kind of a bougie place too. That makes me happy. I see that and think....quality ass plants. That's exactly what they have too. The staff is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Some of the younger ones who don't know much about this plant or that one tho...should always refer customers to someone who knows the answers. I say that bc yesterday we asked a girl about care for the roses. With the heat jump last week, the roses weren't happy with that. Anyway, very nice girl was talking to us. Told us this and that and then we saw the manager and said "would she know?" The girl said..."oh she'd absolutely know" Hmm, ok, so we both thought...she probably should have referred us to her to begin with vs telling us to come back to talk to another woman who had helped us a couple weeks ago. I am in NO way trying to get anyone in trouble...especially bc I love this place so much. Everyone there is so very nice. Just a suggestion is all...that if you aren't sure about something in the nursery, remember there is always someone there who will know the answers. Enough with that. I'm sorry if I offended anyone at Maddie's with that. Not my intention at all. Ok, there is a little house on the property. Check it out when you go. It's suuuuuper homey! Looking out the windows too to the nursery is sorta magical...at least for me. That'd be a cool air bnb haha. I wonder if someone actually lived there tho in the past. This place is absolutely wonderful. Edwards is great, too, don't get me wrong. However, again, it's very very large. Maddie's you will always get one to one help with their employees. Edwards, same, but sometimes you have to go searching and sometimes you have to walk and walk to find help. Again, a review for them will come as well...and it'll be good as well. Maddie's also has this amazing dog who is super chill. I saw his name online but ugh can't remember it. Yellow Lab. Soooo cute! So sweet. A dog on the property is a major win in my book. They used to carry Christmas trees in the past. However, for like the past 2 years, I haven't seen them :( Now that I've actually gone to the nursery, if they get Christmas trees again, I'll definitely go there for it. It's a tad pricey. However, you are 100% getting top quality plants, flowers, etc. You feel that when you just walk in. Truly is a magical little place. I regret waiting so long to go, but so happy we finally made it there. We will be planting more roses next year and will for sure be getting them at Maddie's. Thanks for reading, YelperGeorgies! Cheers!

What a beautiful nursery! As Boise natives, we've driven by this nursery dozens of times over our…read morelifetimes. We finally decided to stop by to look for some flowers for our spring pots. The owner helped us with some questions and we purchased a nice selection of blooms. It's quaint, but beautifully laid out with a great selection. There are also helpful signs that help organize the different areas and types of plants. We typically shop at Edwards, but it can be very overwhelming with too many options. I appreciate the high quality, yet simple selection that Madeline George provided. Highly recommend!

I'm a sucker for any Christmas thing or store. So when I was visiting my son I noticed there was a…read moreChristmas store within walking distance. I begged my mom to go (she likes Christmas too). But it closed in 15 minutes! So we hurried over there and it was dark and cold outside which added to the Christmas spirit. Walking up to it I already was giddy. It had a window display that just looked magical from the outside. Walking in, it was small yet cozy. So many different items to look at. I tried to be mindful of the closing time so we looked at everything pretty quickly but I just soaked it all in. I've always wanted a nice snow globe bc they remind me of my son. I found one there I liked with the nativity story in it along with a wind up song. I bought it and they wrapped it up for me since I flew out the next day. Unfortunately the TsA agents didn't let me board the plane with it!!!!!!! So my son went back 2 days later and bought another one!!;) and now we just have to figure out how to get it to me. Probably will have to ship it to me and hopefully it gets to me safely. But boy what a journey just for this snow globe! lol But this store gets the sale of two snow globes so I'm helping small business I guess;) Loved this place and if I'm in the area again during Christmas, I'd love to come again and see what they new things they have. If you love Christmas and love unique finds and cozy Christmas vibes you have to go!

It's a huge building and it's obvious that the majority of their business comes from special events and such. I was looking for a simple bouquet for my desk! They had an impressive array of flowers and spray. VERY COLORFUL and all of the flowers looked freshly picked!!! I picked out some fuchsia daisies and some yellow pom poms. The price was a bit of a surprise for the amount of flowers that I got, but, having said that, I am on week 3 and they still look like I just picked them out today (with the exception of the small little green leaves on the bunches that of course, started to turn a bit (which is completely understandable) so I am okay with the price! (12.00 for 3 very small bunches). I am very impressed with the longevity and the beautiful fresh, bright colors of their flowers. (See photo!) This photo is from 10/4/2019. Amazing!

I found a beautiful arrangement in their display case and opted for it. I had mentioned it was our 13th wedding anniversary and they offered to add another rose to make it a rose per year of marriage. Sounded good to me, I paid $8 for one additional white rose to add to the 12 red. Fast forward three days, the red roses are all dropped over and never even opened fully. The white rose (which came new out of a box is looking wonderful). Upon looking online I've learned a batch of fresh roses should have no issues lasting a week to 10 days no problem. Disappointing to spend that kind of money to only get a couple of days out of them.
