The place is huge so expect to walk a lot. They have carts for your plants to make things easier. Two different employees helped us and were very knowledgeable about the plant we were interested in. Parking is good. Prices are average! We will be back.

Disappointed. I've been here twice and they overcharged me both times. The first time they got away…read morewith it because I didn't realize it until I got home. The price in the yard says one thing and the price they charge at the register is different. Because you can't see the tally as the cashier is ringing your things up you'll get to wait as she issues you a refund when you catch her, if you do. I'm wondering how many people don't realize what's going on there. I won't be going back.

Having stopped at a few garden centers as I try to add perennials to my home, they have a nice…read moreselection of both annual and perennials that were all reasonably priced. Occasionally more than box stores (Home Depot), but cheaper than other garden centers. Their staff made up the difference though as you could tell they wanted to be there and it showed in their smiles and friendliness. I can't wait to need more plants so I can return!

Being a novice to gardening, I stumbled across Shady Acres when searching for family-owned area…read morenurseries and am I glad I did! Shady Acres is very nicely sized. You can see their entire selection from one end to the other, which is laid out exceptionally well with clearly marked sections. All of the plants are in alphabetical order throughout wide aisles. I am not one to trek through acres & acres of plants, only to get confused & tired. Plants are very competitively priced for the size and outstanding quality. They provide 2 sizes of wagons for your selections while you shop the well-kept grounds. They offer a nice selection of garden ornaments and their own gardens are very nice to walk through to get some great ideas for your own place. The staff are all very nice, helpful and pleasant. They listen to your needs and will direct you to all of the proper plants that are right for the areas you want to beautify. A special shout-out to Anna who always has the best advice for my very-pale green thumb. No matter if you're in the area or not, it is worth the drive. Highly recommended!

This year, we're adding a few more new ones we picked up: Yarrow, Lady's Mantel & Pincushion Plants. Can't wait to see them in our gardens! Always such a fantastic selection and at great prices! You can tell that Shady Acres takes prides in what they grow and sell!

The day of delivery I was called as my soil was being loaded up and made a payment by phone and received an email receipt immediately. The driver arrived exactly on time and was able to accommodate me by driving over my lawn- which I asked if they could do ahead of time- to drop the soil on a tarp I had laid out. This guy was a definite pro as all the dirt stayed on the tarp! He raked every speck of dirt out of the truck to ensure that I got what I paid for. I'm really pleased with the quality of the mix and the customer service. Everyone I spoke to was polite and professional and were happy to answer my questions. I would definitely recommend to anyone in need of compost, dirt,mulch etc. check the website for all products and services offered!

Excellent quality soil, service and price can't be beat. I would not go anywhere else.read more

I think this shop is a perfect size and well laid out. I often get overwhelmed in large, crowded nurseries. The plants were really well organized, had very reasonable prices and displayed on various cute furniture pieces! One of the owners, (Jessica, I think -ahh!) was super helpful in answering all my care questions, even about my other plants I had at home. Plenty of plants to choose from, but I also saw flowers, lots of vases/pots, as well as balloons & cards. I also overheard her telling another customer that they have same-day or next day delivery to the immediate area for $5, which I thought was pretty cool. A plant nursery is one of the best additions to any neighborhood! I'll be visiting again next time around!

I have to say that they have so many cacti and succulents that you don't find anywhere else in Milwaukee. The building itself is absolutely beautiful and historic.

You will walk out with many plants so bring your bigger vehicle when you visit.
