Extremely helpful, knowledgeable staff…read more Writing this review in December 2021, I was impressed by their holiday decor and Christmas tree inventory when so many other area nurseries seem to be struggling to offer decent options. Supply chain issues have left few choices among Bountiful Acres' competition, but they seem to have figured it out and kept the lines of communication and supply open with their vendors. Andy helped us on our recent visit. He's been their 20+ years and was so friendly and helpful. He also offered some great, insightful advice on some landscaping materials we asked about for privacy screening. Definitely worth the trip.

Gasper was the only one with the skilled stone workers who could rebuild with the existing stones. They were also the least expensive since they were using the current stones. Erik, my designer was great to work with and gave me several options. The team that came out were all terrific. I have 5 rescue dogs so needed to let them out at noon, so the team would always clean up the area nicely so the pups could go out. Having a work team who shows that effort of kindness goes a long way with me. I have had work crews in the past who could care less. So from start to finish the whole process was excellent. Will use them again!

I was looking for flats of flowers. I came upon these flats and the sign clearly says $19.99. I…read morepicked two and brought them up to the registered and was told the total for two flats was $84 and some change. I was told they were $39.99 a flat. I took them back to where I got them from, took a picture of the sign and showed a worker there the sign. If the signage was incorrect Gasper should have honored the sign. Poor business decision. I went to Farm and Garden Station not too far away and picked up two beautiful flats of Vinca for $19.99, Gasper has them for $29.99. I still like Gaspers but feel they made a poor business decision.

Follow up with my cushion was fast and they really do care about their products and what they sell highly recommend checking out gearings for your plant and outdoor furniture needs.

We came here for the annual Pumpkin Festival on the weekend. We make it a family tradition to go…read moreto one of these annual fall festivals. When we first started going this was a nice affordable way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and purchase a couple of pumpkins. I do not know what has happened. These events have become overly commercial and very expensive. All of the activities now take tickets. There was a slide that cost 2 dollars. This seemed exceedingly expensive. It used to be the activities were free, but you paid for food, the pumpkins, etc. I can understand charging for a hayride which we rode, and I have to say it was very nice , relaxing and fun. Both my 15 year old and 6 year old enjoyed this hayride. There is a lot to do, and the activities are fun. However, as stated above, you will pay for everything you do or eat here. The corn maze was fun, but a bit short. The highlight was the hayride. They did have a guy playing guitar and singing country types of songs. He was quite good, and the music added to the atmosphere. The hours are 12-4 which really should be expanded to end at 5 or 6. The bottom line is we had a good time, but spent over $75 for a 2 1/2 hour visit. This is not a very good value.

Pretty decent size selection, like I said a very helpful staff and a 5% cash discount make Spring Valley the place to go for your landscaping and floral needs.

They were super quick, friendly, knowledgeable, and delivered promptly. My friend loved it and sent the pictures of the delivered plants! Great place!

What an incredibly rude owner. I purchased a bottle of Inis Spray Cologne as a gift for my daughter…read morerecently. When she opened the box (it was not cellophane wrapped), it was only 2/3 full. I returned to the store, and the woman at the counter opened two other boxes of the same size for a possible exchange. One was about 1/2 full and the other was missing a smaller amount, still not full. Their solution? Offer me the fullest one or pour some from another bottle--what?! Larger sizes were cellophane wrapped, making me wonder if these had been testers. When I asked for a refund, stating that it is a defective product, the owner was called to the front and condescendingly refused, offering store credit only. I had spent a total of $232 at the store the day I purchased the cologne, just a week prior! The young girl at the counter was extremely kind and apologetic. However, the owner clearly does not stand behind her products or value customers. I have made many purchases at this store over the years. I will not be returning!

Wow what a dive this took. Prices went up, customer service went down…read more I went in, asking for advice about a plant my mother, who passed away, had given me. It is really special to me that the plant lives as long as it can. The older man at the counter said, "Have you tried not worrying about it? It's going to do whatever it wants." That was his ONLY *advice*. I asked him about maybe adding a rooting agent and he said that was a good idea and then *instructed* me on how to use a rooting agent... incorrectly. If a plant isn't growing it's the environment that needs to change. You can't leave it up to the plant. This is basic gardening logic. I needed advice adjusting the environment -- soil, nutrients, a grow light -- not complete apathy. This garden center has the highest prices of any in the area, but I'd pay it for people who care and know what they're doing. I'm not paying $10 for rooting agent (which I already have) and an extra surcharge of the audacity.

Today I had a HORRIBLE experience at The Living Earth. I went in to try and get a plant replaced…read morethat I purchased several weeks ago because plant is not doing well at all. The owners rather than offering help or to replace it where VERY nasty and said that its my fault the plant is not doing well and would not replace it. I purposely shop at small garden centers like this one to support the small and local businesses. I left very upset. I didn't argue or get overheated. What a horrible way to treat your customers. Shouldn't it be a their goal to treat the customer well and make sure their happy! I explained to them I just had a similar experience at another local shop, Uncle Ed's Creamery, who made a simple mistake with a purchase. Not only did they replace it, they gave me a gift certificate!!! Thanks Uncle Ed's. I will NO longer shop The Living Earth. I have spent LOTS of money supporting their business, but I will NO longer shop here. What a HORRIBLE and BULLYING experience. Mrs. A

I tried calling multiple times and received no response. When I finally reached the office, I spoke with a man named Dave who said they were "too busy" and abruptly hung up on me. I called back and the same person answered. When I politely asked to speak with someone else in the office or the owner, he raised his voice in an aggressive and rude manner and said he was the owner and snapped, "What do you want, I am the owner of this company?" At that point, I hung up. An entire afternoon wasted, zero accountability, and shockingly disrespectful treatment of a potential customer. If this is how they treat people before earning your business, I can only imagine how they treat paying customers. Very disappointing and completely unprofessional.
