I went during their Fall Festival/ Clayscapes Pottery Market and both events were run well and laid out wonderfully. One side of the garden center hosted the Fall Festival, which had lots of family friendly activities, a Birds of Prey demonstration, and cute photo ops for kids (and adults). The other side had rows and rows of talented artists with their works of art on display. I thought the greenhouse was a lovely setting for this beautiful market.

The staff was very unfriendly including one person who ridiculed my elderly mom for accidentally used the word "flat" when she meant tray. My guess is this place fancies itself as catering to a very wealthy crowd and they don't like it when people who don't appear to fit the part come in. Only gave it 2 stars bc the plants were pretty decent quality. Won't be going back

I wanted to do something special for an arrangement to remember her by for my two daughters who loved their grandmother very much. My sister in law suggested I come here. I asked my sister and another sister in law if they would like to go and they said yes. When we got there it was interesting and creative to me yet I needed help to put something together that I had in mind for an indoor basket with some purple flowers that I was told she loved. Carol just didn't help me, she was patient and kind and very respectful. She helped me create exactly what I was envisioning even if I didn't know it at the time. I look forward to giving these beautiful baskets to my girls tomorrow before I travel back. Thank you Carol for your kindness. Caroline

We ended up with a pint of Southern Tier Blueberry tart I believe, topped off with lemonade making them Shandy's. This was at the bartenders recommendation. This is the first time we have ordered liters, they are so heavy you need two hands to drink. They were cold and refreshing for the first half but the heat quickly warmed and flattened the carbonation. I would recommend smaller pours if you want your beer cold. The special was a free hot dog with a liter purchase but upon inquiry they were out of hot dogs. It is a peanut bar but they do not have any other food options. $14 each for the Shandy's. Pleasant staff with a German football vibe.

After a less than stellar experience at a different plant shop in the area, I stopped by Ballantyne…read moreGardens on a whim and WOW... what a different experience. Charming, exceptional service, and just an overall gem. Even though it's the winter season - and thus only the main shop really contains plants or anything to purchase - the selection of plants was surprisingly diverse. I found a number of itty bitty plants that were on my wishlist, and they also happened to be the perfect size for me to snag a few extras to give as gifts to colleagues. Wonderful plant options at a fantastic value. (I also snagged the last "boobie cactus" - and yes, that's what it's usually called, lol - and now a couple of my colleagues are all excited about propagating from it.) It doesn't hurt that when I first arrived to the shop, I was adorably greeted by a gentle giant of a dog named Henry. I made sure to give Henry plenty of pets and face smooshies, and then he happily trotted off to the back office. The folks here genuinely care about their customers and providing an exceptional experience. I can't wait to visit again when the weather is a bit warmer and the grounds are opened up a bit more. :)

What a fortunate decision it was to make a quick u-turn to go back to Sollecito's. TLDR: Great selection, outstanding plant knowledge/experience, terrific customer experience. Choose this nursery not others nearby. Soon after parking Nancy approached to ask if we needed help finding anything. We were looking for relatively obscure plants which they didn't have however she suggested we all check in with someone else at the nursery (more on that in a moment). They did have beautiful varieties of butterfly bushes from which to choose. They were all healthy looking with many buds. Nancy explained maintenance and that included a cutting the plant (it's really a perennial , she explained) each April because the new growth will have the flowers each year. When we expressed concern that we may not be at the camp until May each year, she said that it would simply delay the new growth and therefore the initial blooms. Nancy scooped our selection up for us and we headed to the office to pay. Once there, Nancy asked Eric about those obscure plants. In particular, the Bloomerang Lilac that supposedly is hardy for our zone and blooms twice (spring and late summer). Eric said that they had stocked Bloomerang a previous year but the plants did not do well - didn't bloom twice and weren't hardy over the winter. Since we had read such positive reviews about it, we discussed for a bit and Eric had insightful perspectives including the possibility that the it could be worth another try. We paid for it he butterfly bush and to add to the wonderful experience we had already had, Nancy walked us back to the car, put plastic down on the floor and loaded the plant for us. What gems she, Eric, and Sollecito Nursery are! Thanks, we will be back and obviously will recommend you to others.

Not only do they have tons of plants, shrubs, trees, etc. They also have such a amazing layout full of eclectic buildings, quirky designs, and fun crazy decor. The prices are all really good and they staff are extremely knowledgable. We are going to buy a house very soon and have an idea about the layout and design. We had no problem openly giving them a budget because experts need those to work. I highly recommend coming here. They have so much stuff and it's so fun. I really can't find the words to describe it other then what I have said already.
