The owners of Bonny's are kind and generous. I highly recommend them! The stock is varied and cared for. Marjorie read more

Unfortunately my schedule was tight, so I went to Bonny's on a busy Saturday afternoon. There is parking on the street, so I had to park a five minute walk away, near the corner. Usually I love to poke around a nursery, but I didn't feel comfortable in such a crowded space. After making my purchase, I asked for help to bring the plants to my car. The owner (?) declined my request, but another employee carried them for me. Doubt if I will return there again. read more

Bonnys is the best,lots of choices for your garden and outdoor planters. The brother are so nice and knowledgeable. It's my happy place it's small but very well stocked. read more

Nice family run plant nursery. Lots of plants to choose from. Happy place with a pet pigeons

I have known Bonny's for forty years now, and would trust them with my life, and my dog's life. A deeply established nursery, Bonny's is casual and prolific, and it's a pleasure to learn from Sal and Joe with their vast knowledge and different styles. Bonny's has been in the family for quite some time --it's unique, well-stocked, quirky, trustworthy, and of course practical. Over the years I've come to love this place. Joe and Sal have been kind to me (and to my dogs Buffie, Dash, and Finn). They have big hearts. But they also have smarts and know-how, experience, patience, and thoughtfulness. And they have best "lived in" office you'll ever see. Now that I no longer have my own garden, and live across town, I don't have the short walk down Garden Street to their magical garden. But I go there regularly and like to stop for a chat, and maybe buy some geraniums, ferns, or pansies for my little square of earth next to the sidewalk. And. of course, Christmas is a tradition at Bonny's. It's practically a religious ritual. I've never known such a friendly, knowledgable, gentle business. read more

Bonny's Garden Center - Bonny's - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I love Bonny's Garden Center. I've been going to them for decades. It's my neighborhood nursery -- I go for both plants and advice. They have great selections, especially given that the lot is not very large, and Sal, especially, always has appropriate advice. The prices are very reasonable, too. Support your local neighborhood business -- you'll get good healthy plants, good advice, and at a good price. read more

This place has a super generous and friendly owner, a nice little selection (space limitations have me wishing for more sometimes). We picked up some basil over the summer and flowers. We got lots of basil from our plants so that was good. It's close by for city people so that's an advantage. Saving trips to more suburban larger garden centers. read more

Yet another amazing rating on the books for Bonny's. I've been going here since I moved to the area in 2010, and while everyone else I know seems to go to Mahoney's - I like this small, family run business for my own personal gardening needs. I know very little about plants, so every time I go here, the fellows helping me out are always helpful and I get wonderful plants each time. They are also honest... they care more about you getting what you want/need than they do about getting your money, which is what keeps me coming back. (I'd rather not go to Home Depot, and wait a few extra days for a new shipment of soil to come in). Their prices are also reasonable, and they seem to have a lovely selection (without being super knowledgable about plants, that's what it looks like to me, anyway). read more

I can't say enough nice things about Bonny's. Friendly and helpful staff, great stock, and awesome prices. I've come here many times for garden supplies and I've been helped by the same people each time who make a point to make themselves available for questions. You're paying the same you would at Home Depot for targeted care and better products! Go here! read more

Thank you, Bonny's, for being so wonderful! Always helpful with any gardening questions, tools, flowers, plants, and always take the time to make sure you know how to take care of the plant before you leave. And lovely with kids - thank you so much! read more

Cash / check only Lovely folks working there Annuals have spread and spread and herbs are doing great read more

I've been going to Bonny's for 20 years now and Sal and Joe are wonderful. So patient and helpful, really know their stuff, will take the4 time to talk with you about your garden needs and make helpful suggestions. Could not recommend more highly! I hope they never retire. read more

My dad has been coming to Bonny's since 1980, and Sal and the staff have always steered him right. A true local gem.

Had some nice Christmas trees at a decent price (for the area). Also they patiently put it on my car even though it was pouring rain

This is the best plant nursery in the area. The owner, Sal, is a courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and very obliging gentleman, who is helping me keep my poor plants alive. I love the selection of seasonal flowers and veggies, and I always get my Halloween pumpkins and Christmas trees from him. And free advice on how to maintain my garden. Highly recommended! read more

Anyplace that treats my little grandson with the respect and love the way that the crew at Bonny's does every time he goes there earns as many stars as the scale will allow! We went there today to select a small Christmas tree for my son and daughter-in-law's apartment, and the place was abuzz with activity. Despite the busy time, Sal (the owner) and his guys treated my grandson as if he were the most important client of the day! He has visited there with daycare classmates from the school at the end of the block and they recognized him immediately, gave him some free stickers and let him climb behind the wheel of a giant pickup and honk the horn. They chatted him up and made him feel like he was part of the great family that has run this highly regarded small local enterprise for decades. Thank you Sal and everyone else at Bonny's for creating a new family holiday memory for all of us! read more

Awesome place, staff very helpful and kind. They even gave some stickers to my toddler which kept him happy while I shopped

What a welcome discovery today to find Bonny's Garden Center! After visiting Home Depot and NOT finding what I wanted, I asked Siri for garden centers near me. Up popped Bonny's. I had never heard of this place but decided to give it a go. Thank goodness I did. Tucked behind the rotary near Fresh Pond, Bonny's is a calming and sweet oasis. The place has such a great vibe - so different than the sterility of Home Depot. The people are so kind, and the plants are so beautiful - this place is just plain happiness. PLUS they were super kind to my dog Bella (treats!). Bonny's - go and visit - you won't be disappointed! read more

I got this random idea that I wanted an indoor lemon tree. Yeah, a lemon tree.. inside. So I stopped by on a whim to see if I could find one. The guys there seemed gruff at first, but ended up being super helpful - telling me exactly where to go and giving me detailed directions on how to get there. I really appreciated the good service, and will be back in the spring when I want to start planting. Plenty of parking along the streets, and note that they are cash only. read more

Bonny's is the perfect example of what a local, personally run business should be. They are friendly, helpful, generous, and treat you like a regular patron even if it's your first time there. My Christmas tree is beautiful and still smells great even though I bought it and put it up almost three weeks ago. I'll definitely be back to Bonny's in the spring for all my gardening needs. Keep in mind, they are cash or check only. No credit cards. read more

The people in the family who run this place are very knowledgeable, friendly and kind! Tucked away in a really convenient Cambridge location I can't understand why this place is not mobbed...but that does make it nicer for everyone :-) They have a surprisingly wide array of products; really everything one needs and they're reasonably priced too. read more

This is a small nursery packed with huge experience, supplies, and helpfulness. I found them out of a fluke, but I will go back whenever I need anything. I have 2 flower gardens and vegetable patch so I will be there a lot, if they don't have it I'll find some other place, and I prefer family owned business. Bring cash or check they don't take CC. read more

The BEST garden centre! I love Sal and Joe. They know everything! They care about each and every plant. I walked in this week and saw two beautiful trees I had been wanting for ages just waiting for me - a white lilac and a Japanese Maple - in all their splendor. They won't sell you anything that is not ready or overblown. Their uncle knows everything there is to know about trees and shrubs. He came round and identified all and pruned for me. --Ros read more

I just spent over an hour here, wandering around, chatting with Joe, learning about plants, getting inspired. Then I called my husband and he brought the little ones over and they loved this place and enjoyed meeting Joe, too. We left with lots of beautiful plants and a feeling that we discovered someplace special. read more

Find nicer guys. Just try. This market offers exceptional plants in that they tend toward being well-rooted and not root-bound. This is rare for area nurseries, and I peruse them all. They'll help you carry your stuff to the car without expecting a tip and can likely answer any question you may have related to how best to grow your perennial, annual, small tree or shrub. It's cash or check--no cc sales. I have twice found things I need that are really hard to find: really tall lilac for along a high fence line in order to get the right light. read more

So kind and helpful. Lovely Christmas trees. Absolutely worth your time, don't forget your check book (or cash).

I have been going to Bonny's for years and always get excellent advice and healthy plants that thrive in New England conditions. The selection of spring and summer bulbs is extensive, and they never rush a season - if it's too early to plant it - you won't find it available for sale. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! The customer service at Bonny's is incredible! We bought a Christmas tree from them last week and for some reason the Christmas tree kept falling over (this has never happened to me and I'm def not a Christmas tree rookie!) so I called Bonnys to see what I could do about this issue, and Saul (I hope I spelt it right) the owner sent someone to our home to fix it immediately. Their primary concerns are the people and the trees! The nice gentlemen, Kevin, came by with a saw and a new stand and we all thought at 5pm when he left that it was all fixed and sturdy (it appeared that way!), well around 9pm I was laying on my couch and the huge tree fell on top of me! I was shocked to say the least! I called Saul back and said I DON'T WANT THIS TREE ANYMORE, IT ATTACKED ME! Saul asked if I was ok and if everyone was out of harms way if we just prompt it up for the night because he said he was sending some guys over the next day to help. I was so shook up about it I had my husband deal with it (who is Jewish and didn't want a tree to begin with). Well the guys came by the next day and worked with my husband while I was out. I came home and the tree had been completely swapped out with another and everything totally secured and perfect! I am so glad now that my husband, who knows how much I love Christmas, didn't let me get rid of our tree all together. I know it sounds like a simple story but the level of customer service that Bonny's showed us is something I wish every vendor displayed! The fact that Saul would risk being short staffed during the busiest time of year bc my Christmas tree was trying to fly the coop by sending men over to help far surpassed any kindness and care for people I have seen in a very long time. Bonny's truly made our Christmas holiday cheerful again, and not only that but my husband even says we are only working with Bonny's from here on out when we get our tree each year! Thank you so much Bonny's!! read more

This place is truly as good as it gets!!! Growing up in Cambridge, my family always came to Bonny's for our Christmas trees. I just moved back to the area with my 3 yo son and took him there for our Christmas tree this year. We were going to just get one at Home Depot, but I thought I would give Bonny's a shot because I knew it was a little more "Christamsy." Not only was our tree a few bucks cheaper than Home Depot, but the service and Christmas spirit was incredible. I will forever go to Bonny's for our Christmas trees. They were so good to my son letting him help pick out the tree and cut parts of it. They don't do the shots of wine in the back like when I was a kid, but they made my son feel that special Christmas warmth. As someone else said, they don't take credit cards, this is an old school family business. So bring cash or your check book! read more

As with all the other Yelp reviews, their customer service takes the day. I wandered in because I have an issue with my poor Ming Aurelia dropping all its leaves, and the sort of cranky-seeming man told me he doesn't know anything about indoor plants. But then he spent a significant amount of time writing down phone numbers of places for me to call who DO know about indoor plants while asking me questions about bugs and watering. I had decided to repot anyways, so I bought the stuff I needed, and he told me if I called the other places and they said not to repot, I could bring the stuff I bought back. Very sweet (and unnecessary, because his 'experts' I called agreed). read more

As close to Eden as a Nursery gets ! Not only because of the beauty of their selection but also the humanity and patient kindness of their service. They ONLY take CASH which simplifies everything and, I suspect, helps them keep prices affordable. Run by a family who obviously LOVES what they do. Ready for this ? I called them right after Xmas and this was their answer : "Did you know we are closed for the season ? But I'll be there tomorrow dealing with a Sales rep. so why don't you call first just to make sure I am not out to lunch ( and he did not mean "crazy" ) and drop by and I'll see if I can help you, OK ?" Says it all, doesn't it ? read more

Huge variety, good prices. Amazing service- so very insightful and helpful. They are cash only. It's a casual place, your local, neighborhood greenhouse and that's how we love it. read more

Thank god for places like these, yes they still exist. Old school all the way and however many more cents it costs than your Home Depots, I'm glad to pay it. For plants and all gardening needs, and xmas trees, pumpkins etc. Bring the kids! read more

This is by far the best place to buy a Christmas tree in the Cambridge area. My husband and I just bought our tree and it was such a pleasant experience. They had a great selection of trees, wreaths, and accessories - all at reasonable prices. As other reviewers have said, the service is the best. The man who tied the tree to the car did an expert job, the cashier was so sweet, and the men up front looked everywhere to find a door hanger for my wreath. Why would you ever buy a tree from a chain store when you can support such a lovely local business? read more

For the past three years I've gone to Bonny's to buy my Christmas tree. Each tree has displayed impressive beauty and dignity. The staff at Bonny's do a great job answering my questions. They cut the tree for me, tie it, and even load it into my car. I'm not an expert when it comes to Christmas tree pricing, but I've found their prices to be fair and of good value. read more

A great place to buy a Christmas tree. Good people trimming and tying the trees and a decent selection of quality trees. read more

For our Christmas Tree this year we decided to buy local instead of going to the big stores or those lots that pop up at this time of year, so we went to Bonny's. This is a great place to get your Christmas Tree or any other garden supplies for that matter...... super helpful and just plain nice read more

Really nice family owned nursery. Always friendly, low key, and ready to go at the first sign of spring. So convenient on my way home and no crowds. Shop here instead of some impersonal place where you get treated like just another customer. read more

Bonny's is a unique garden center in the Fresh Pond area of Cambridge. They are very friendly and helpful and know a lot about the plants and gardening in general. They are the kind of people who won't sell you something that they don't think will do well in your space, but will give you suggestions of other flowers/shrubs/trees instead. Their selection isn't huge, but they almost always have what I'm looking for. They have some gardening accessories as well as plants. Overall their prices are very reasonable, and you can't find a friendlier person to help you than the owner. They only take cash, so keep that in mind. read more

I've known Sal and Joe for about 15 years now. This is a small family run business and they go out of their way to help. It's a great place for basics (annuals, perennials for sun and shade) and an occasional unusual find (great selection of herbs). If you need something special, they'll help to get it. Having been in this business for many, many years, they really know what plants work in this area. Cash or check only, but if you're short of cash and they know you, they'll let you bring it by later. Bonny's is a hidden treasure. read more
