Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

For 25 years I have over paid a few bucks here or there for fertilizer or commercially produced…read morebagged items while also purchasing thousands in landscaping to support Hewitts. Today, Monday wasn't busy. Myself and one customer. I purchased $400 worth of shrubs and various compost, fertilizer etc. The store was more than staffed, several men and women working in the landscape area, but no offer to assist. One man did however make sure he wrote the green slip for 6 forsythia in my wagon. And then he watched me wheel that wagon to the front, and watched me return to where he was still standing and get the second wagon full of plants and then watched me wheel that one to the front also. Not busy, standing around with the 4 other employees. Not a hose in their hand, no moving landscape. Standing. Watching a 60+, 5' tall, 100 lb lady loading and wheeling around landscape. Chatting, phone checking. I went in and paid the cashier with a pixie cut. She could not seem any less friendly. In my head I rationalized that maybe she was having a bad day. This tells you how unfriendly she was; as a customer I was expending mental energy wondering why the Hewitt's employee seemed annoyed with me making a purchase. I had purchased bags of compost and potting soil and she told me to drive around to pick them up. I told her I had a lot to load into the truck and please wait to call, it would take me a few minutes to load up. Again, no offer to send anyone to give me a hand. It took me several minutes to load most of it but I needed another cardboard box. I returned to the store to get another cardboard box and she said "you should hurry, I called them". Incredulous, I stared at her waiting for a smile or to say something else, nothing. She wasn't kidding, she wasn't having a bad day, she was stunningly rude. I drove back and the kid loaded 6 bags of compost and he said you are all set. I said there are 2 bags of potting soil too. He said they didn't say anything about that. Do you have a receipt? I sure did, for $400 which included the two bags of $5 potting soil that he was worried were being stolen because pixie cut didn't give him accurate info. I actually asked the guy loading the bags if the store had changed hands, it was so awful and uncomfortable, I thought maybe Jason was no longer there. He assured me it was the same management. Good to know. I understand loss prevention, but without employee common sense, an ability to practice some discretion, meet an expectation that customers should be treated cordially or to help customers move and load landscaping that is being purchased, we don't need to shop there. Way to end a 20 plus relationship Hewitts. I'll shop the big box where I hate what I am supporting, but I like the way that I am treated.

Jordy was the florist for our wedding in June 2016 in Saratoga Springs, NY. She provided flowers…read morefor both our rehearsal dinner (at Sperry's) and our wedding (at The Canfield Casino). She did an absolutely incredible job. I live out of state right now, and Jordy was very easy to get a hold of through email. The flowers at our wedding were better than I could have imagined. Everything was absolutely perfect. Jordy provided us with our bouquets, boutonierres, flowers for my flower girl's hair, our table centerpieces and flowers for the ceremony. She was able to reuse some of the flowers between the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, which saved us quite a bit in the long run. I was grateful for her thoughtfulness to stay within our budget. Also, she provided us with table numbers and candles. When I first met with Jordy I didn't have a budget yet. After our first meeting our budget was set, and unfortunately the inital ideas we had wouldn't work. Jordy was totally understanding and helped us to stay within our budget, and I can't thank her enough. Finally, throughout our planning she created a joint Pinterest board for us to use and pin our ideas to. It was nice to be able to visualize ideas and to make sure we were on the same page. I would recommend Jordy for any bride looking for gorgeous flowers!

I was amazed at the elegant, stunning display that Jordy put together for our wedding. I am still reeling from how beautiful everything was - from the outdoor arbor, to the mantlepiece, to the details of my bouquet and our centerpieces. The bouquet was my absolute favorite!!! I am so glad I went with Jordy and that I also chose to have real flowers as centerpieces, something I know a lot of brides debate. From the start, I had a very hard time finding a florist who could fit my vision into our limited budget. When I contacted Jordy, she immediately created a Pinterest board for us filled with ideas. Honestly, I am a picky, perfectionist bride and had absolutely no idea what I truly wanted other than "something pretty." I am SO glad I fully trusted Jordy because her ideas were AMAZING!!!! Give Jordy your trust, she will deliver the most beautiful presentation you've ever seen, I promise! As a professional, Jordy was a pleasure to work with. My emails were answered promptly and she changed things for me several times based on budget and guest number changes. She went above and beyond for us and even added extra greenery and roses to several tables! I want to thank her for creating such a visually stunning display. We had so many guests and family members comment on how beautiful and elegant the wedding was (especially the arbor!). Thank you Jordy!

Professional and knowledgeable arborists!…read more I had a great experience with New Leaf! Jerry did a site visit to assess the health of my old apple tree. He returned several weeks later to do the pruning - probably the tree's first in over 50 years. The tree is now much lighter and looks great - cant wait for this year's crop of apples! Jerry is extremely personable and very thoughtful. During his two visits he provided very helpful information about tree care. Also Jerry and his colleague (oops, cant remember his name) did a terrific job of cleaning up. I also appreciated that New Leaf kept me updated about my appointment date and the time of arrival. Highly recommend.

The project involved taking 10 large trees down from around the house and pool area. We were amazed at how neat they were at the end of each day, as well as the brisk pace they were able to work.

Very professional and friendly staff. We strongly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future. James and Gina Armstrong

I got married in Manhattan in November and we were very happy with Cape Lily's flower services!…read moreSylvia and Cape Lily came highly recommended from a friend, and absolutely exceeded expectations. Sylvia took the time to meet with my husband and I before our wedding for a couple of hours to get to know us and our tastes. She came to the meeting prepared with tons of amazing flower recommendations, a photo collection to look through for inspiration, and a vast knowledge of beautiful color palette ideas and various styles. I'm not a flower expert, and since I was my own wedding planner, I was unsure of what I wanted (to say the least). Sylvia helped us to feel confident in our ideas - giving lots of guidance, but also listening to our ideas and helping us to articulate our vision. Throughout the planning process I changed what I wanted flower wise a number of times. Sylvia was completely flexible and patient and worked with me and my budget. As the wedding approached, she met us at the space for a walk through to confirm where everything needed to go, and to make sure we were on the same page, down to the last detail. I felt completely confident that my flowers would be beautiful by the end of the process. I was right to feel confident - they were beautiful! They captured the essence of my romantic, NYC Fall wedding perfectly. She traveled all over the city the day of to make sure groomsmen had boutonnieres and the girls had their flowers. I didn't have to think about a thing logistically, which is what one wants on their wedding day. Thanks Sylvia, for helping me to have a Pintrest worthy wedding! :)
