I was greeted by their friendly staff who allowed me to tour their HUGE greenhouse that just left me in Aww! I spent time looking at every plant they offered and it was such a relaxing spot. I didn't want to leave and had to talk myself out of making a purchase. I came strictly for planters, but man it was hard to resist. They have a cute little store with unique planters and other planting needs and trinkets. Brownswood is also a landscaping company and can supply you with everything to make your lawn beautiful. Everything about this place is a plant lover's dream and for anyone looking to spruce up their property should definitely check them out. Very reasonable prices, great customer service, and a knowledgeable staff to help you beautify your place indoors and out.

I visited Brownswood Nursery for the first time and purchased several varieties of border shrubs in…read morethe spring and planted them in my well-amended garden bed. Despite proper sun and watering, withing several weeks one shrub started to turn brown. I brought it to the nursery when 3/4 of the bush was dead. I requested a replacement and was advised that I had over-watered the plant and it had develeped a fungus. I was further advised that they would offer a ONE-TIME REPLACEMENT, AT 50% OF THE COST! This did not sit well with me but I needed another bush, so I reluctantly paid the additional cost and purchased fungal spray to have on hand. Within the next couple of weeks, another shrub as well as the replacement shrub started to turn brown. I administered the fungicide accordingly, but the plants did not respond and died. Upon calling the nursery and advising them of the situation, I was told this time that the shrubs had been UNDER-WATERED and that they only offered a ONE-TIME REPLACEMENT. I have purchased many plants and shrubs over the years from other nurseries as well as at Home Depot, Lowes, and Costco, and have never experienced this deplorable level of customer service. If there is a problem, this nursery expects one to call with any issues so that they can give you the run around and BLAME YOU for the plants failure! I learned that Brownswood Nursery does not stand behind the quality of their merchandise. NEVER AGAIN!!

I've been to the majority of garden centers/ nurseries in the Charleston area. There's some that…read moreare larger and some that have lower prices, but the service and knowledge at Abide A While can't be matched. When I first moved to Mount Pleasant 5 years ago, Abide A While was the first nursery that I went to. As soon as I walked in the annual section, I was met with the warmest smile by an older lady that instantly made me feel at home. I forgot her name, but after talking for a while she had mentioned she was with the company for about 40 years! Being as happy as she was with the same company for that long is definitely is a statement in itself! Unfortunately she retired not too long ago, but now I've met so many other friendly and knowledgeable people at Abide A While. Bruce and J.D.(?) are my go-tos. As for the layout, I like it a lot. Pretty much all the annuals are to the right. Houseplants are on the left, inside with the household items. (All of the household items are beautifully displayed and consist of great quality). Outside, towards the rear of the building are the perennials, trees, and some tropical plants. One of the most important things about Abide A While is every plant is labeled and the majority have full descriptions! If the description is not on the pot, it'll be on a nearby post or printed out on a card. There's nothing more that I hate than to have to do full research on the spot for a plant that catches my eye. So kudos to them for providing that information. I'll end with saying Abide A While is just beautiful, inside and out. I especially love going there after a stressful day. It's so serene, and even majestic in a way. If you haven't been there before, it's worth going for that reason alone.

Sure I spent a decent amount of time harvesting in my grandmother's garden, but when it comes to tiling and putting seeds in soil that is not me. So whilst visiting friends in Charleston they wanted to show us their favorite spot for plants. Being a good friend, I went along for the ride. Here's what I've learned about plants, since volunteering in a community garden since my CHS visit. Plants are good for us! Of course they're good in the sense of something to eat or a herb for flavor, but I'm talking about mental health here (not to mention physical health-purer Oxygen). They help the mind rest and focus and relax. And that is exactly what happened when I walked through the door of Plant Babe. I had no idea there were that many plants (again, not my strong suit here). And the aesthetics of the exude warm colors and allow for sunlight to spill wherever it pleases. They should set up chairs and charge by the hour for "chill therapy". And the team, superb. Friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. If you are anywhere near, even if you "think" you don't need a plant, stop by and I'll bet you leave with something in your hands.

With no experience, I knew I needed lots of help!…read moreBeing a part of the Garden Growers Club gives me skills and knowledge to adapt to every season's specific needs and understand what pests or diseases could make the garden less productive. Rita and her team are truly teachers, as they explain every element of home gardening in ways that meet each learner's needs: videos are concise and insightful; periodic emails help me stay on top of weekly and monthly tasks; and the printable guides are super handy references. I feel assured that I will have the most success in my garden as offerings have been carefully selected for the Lowcountry's microclimate. I also appreciate how they even consider how to cultivate the best plants for our pollinators. Harvesting from the garden brings me such joy and makes me feel connected to the earth, grounded, and nourished!
