The staff at Garden Heights is incredible! Every time I stop by, I'm greeted by at least a few…read morefriendly employees who are always willing to go above and beyond answering questions and offering help. I'm a total novice gardener and very appreciative of the knowledge and recommendations they share. The overall service is great, especially when buying soil or compost--you purchase that at checkout and they'll bring it right out to your car in their parking lot. Their variety of plants is wonderful; I could spend hours wandering through the different sections. As a newbie gardener, I had a little bit of sticker shock on some items, but I feel confident paying what might be a little more than at big box stores for the quality of plants/supplies and service.

Such an amazing experience! My boyfriend and I were on the hunt for some flowers to decorate the…read morefront of our new house. They had a top tier selection of annuals, perennials, bushes, trees, gardening supplies, and anything you could possibly need for landscaping. We were looking at a tree we really liked, and an employee immediately came over and gave us some great tips about that particular plant. He gave some other useful recommendations as well. We ended up getting a variety of annuals for some of our flower pots and two big bags of soil. When we checked out at the counter, they asked what car we drove and explained that an employee will meet us in the parking lot to load up the heavy bags of soil for us. I will definitely be back!

We decided to start naturalizing our back yard. We want to make an inviting space for pollinators,…read moreprimarily, but we also want a space that is allowed to do its own thing. We stopped raking 2 years ago, and that made a huge difference: we have oodles of fireflies and butterflies, way more than our neighbors who do the whole well-manicured lawn thing. Anyway, we talked to a person at the prairie booth at the Earth Day festival about native plants, and the website pointed us to Sugar Creek! We were very pleasantly surprised at the amount of options here. We were able to find all sorts of native plants to introduce into our yard. We really found it easy to navigate since they were sectioned into native and sun needs. It made it very easy once we figured it out. We were only able to afford about 6 plants the first time we came here and 4 the next time. They are a bit pricey, just fair warning. However, the selection is great and it's supporting a business that isn't a huge corporation, so it's worth a visit!

We've been several times and will continue to go - there is always something new to look at and buy. Happy shopping!

Bowood Farms is my go-to for almost all things plants. Is it because I'm a sucker for the…read moreaesthetics? Maybe. Does it help that it's walking distance from home? Perhaps. Regardless, I appreciate that they have a great selection of plants, and I particularly love shopping their small plants selection. They have a pretty solid batch of what's in season for a more affordable price, and I've had much better luck raising them as opposed to their bigger plants. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. They also have workshops and plenty of supplies, so it's a nice one-stop shop (and I'm trying to keep this review separate from their restaurant). Their pots selection is also generally good, although they can be just as seasonal as the plants. Overall, I recommend checking out Bowood Farms, if not just for the nice little stroll.

I think there was some miscommunication, which is upsetting. As much as we spent, I would have preferred to go somewhere else that offered free delivery. I also gave her the measurements of what we needed to fill, and we did not get the correct amount so I will have to try to get this corrected somehow. When we arrived, we went to the trailer building to pick out rock. It was nice that there were tons of staff to easily help us and it was pretty easy to pick out what we wanted and we gave her the measurements. She calculated it and gave us a price, so that was pretty efficient and helpful although it was not correct. I think there was a miscalculation I am unsure. There is a lot to offer here and they've been here for years. If you need help, the staff is super quick to help with no questions or hesitations. They are all very friendly. When they came to deliver, they called before they had my way to confirm delivery and address once they delivered. I wish they would have knocked to notify me or ask where I wanted the rock and said they just dumped and went so now we cannot park in our driveway until we get it moved.
