Hands-down the BEST farm supply experience I've ever had!…read more I recently visited Knights Farm Supply in Augusta and was blown away by the incredible service, selection, and energy of this newly owned gem! Melanie is an absolute rockstar--she helped me pick out the perfect vegetable plants for my garden and gave me expert advice on how to protect them from deer and other critters. I left with healthy, thriving plants and some effective deer repellent, feeling totally set up for garden success! Melanie's kindness, knowledge, and genuine care for her customers shine through in everything she does. You can tell she loves what she does, and it makes the entire experience top-notch. The new managers are also amazing--super thoughtful, friendly, and clearly passionate about growing this business the right way. The store is easy to find, beautifully stocked, and already feels like a community staple. I'm so excited to see what the future holds for Knights Farm Supply--it's a place I'll absolutely keep coming back to. And hey, if you're ever passing through Richmond, Maine, swing by Morning Moose Coffee--we'll make sure you get the same top-tier service and love that Knights is serving up in Augusta.

We used to visit Estabrook's who we lived in the Brunswick area, but since moving to Randolph, we…read morehad to find a great garden center in central Maine. Well...Longfellow's is IT. It's huge! Has everything one needs for home gardening and landscaping. Plus an amazing gift shop and kitchen store. Nothing seemed overly priced, it's as expected. So that was good. We stocked up on perennials for our new house and loaded the car up with soil and compost. There's employees all over the place, like little worker bees. So someone to answer any questions you might have, or to locate a person who can.

Always a pleasure to visit Longfellow's. Plants are well cared for and robust. Staff is…read moreknowledgeable, friendly, but also welcome you to stroll aimlessly for hours.

I recently ordered some "Get Well Soon" flowers for a remote coworker, as he had mentioned to me…read morethat he'd be having surgery. Since I wanted to ensure they were fresh flowers, delivered in a vase, to arrive on the day of his surgery, I decided to order in advance directly from a local florist versus the 1-800 online option. I found Augusta Florist and ordered on their website. Unfortunately for my coworker, the surgery got postponed, TWICE! Fortunately for me, I ordered directly from Augusta Florist and was able to call them both times and request a cancelation. They refunded me the entire amount both times, without hesitation! The third surgery date actually happened! My coworker got his surgery! But I forgot to order the flowers!! I had been so busy/caught up with work that it just slipped my mind. The day I realized it (this past Monday), I went online and ordered right away. If you order by 1pm, Augusta Florist can deliver same day. I submitted the order shortly after 11am and just before 1pm, he messaged me saying the flowers had arrived! WOW talk about fast service. I chose the "Locally Grown in Maine" (Deluxe) bouquet and it was gorgeous!!

They are so patient and kind and help you load everything into your car. They don't have a ton of outdoor plants, but they have just enough for me.

Had a great experience with buying a new super new mattress at Northern mattress in Waterville…read moreMaine. From my first visit, salesman Steve did not pressure me, but helped me find a mattress to suit my sore back issues. Great selection in this store. I did not buy that first day, ( I had to ponder ) but came back later and bought the same mattress. After purchasing, having my new mattress delivered was easy, and also done on my time schedule. The company called to confirm the day before. The surprise came when the mattress was delivered. Two of the nicest deliverymen ( Tyler and Dan) performed this task in a professional and courteous manner. They unloaded, brought it in, we inspected it and all was good . The delivery was right after a snow storm and roads could not have been good. This was the best delivery experience i have ever had , in my 71 years. Yes I will buy there again.
