I don't know why I've never stopped by Miracle Garden Center before 2023, especially since I driven…read morepast many times over the years. I guess, mostly by habit, if I needed plants or flowers, I would drive a few more minutes up the road to the Home Depot, since I always thought HD was cheaper. I purchased my usual assortment from Home Depot of herbs (basil, cilantro, etc.) as well as a few tomato varietals in mid-March 2023, however, by late April most of the plants were dead. Granted, it was a colder than usual Spring season, but these plants should've been hearty enough to withstand a bit of frost. As I have a penchant for supporting small businesses, I decided to finally pop in the Miracle Garden Center, and departed asking myself, "what took me so long to check this place out?" Located off of busy Rt. 236 (Little River Turnpike), it is easy to miss this mom and pop business. Look for a white 1-story structure with the "Miracle Garden Center" signs affixed to the building. There are a few parking spots in front and around the side for easy access. Upon passing through the gates, I was struck by the sheer variety of vegetation ranging from indoor/outdoor flowers, mini-trees, and of course, plants for your garden. I picked up a few pepper varieties since I always love fresh chilis and got a fantastic price on some habanero, serrano, and Hungarian wax peppers. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any Thai Chili plants, but the gentleman watering the plants indicated that their supplier didn't carry it this season. I also picked up a few tomato varietals such as Roma, cherry, and a Sungold. Of note, the Italian Basil, sweet mint, and Cilantro that I purchased a few weeks ago have also flourished in my garden since I planted them in late mid-May. No knock against them, but unlike my experiences asking questions of the staff at HD about frequency of watering, recommended amount of sunlight exposure, etc, the team at Miracle Garden are friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to share their their wealth of information. Now that I'm headed back into my office more often, I even picked up a snake plant for my desk, since this is a very "low maintenance" plant which is not only super easy to care for, but has numerous benefits (https://www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-snake-plant#benefits) including air filtration and oxygenation. Chatting with the staff, I understand they also carry seasonal items such as pumpkins in the Fall and Christmas trees during the winter. Miracle Garden Center is just the type of local business I love to support and recommend to the Yelp community.

In the mist of the COVID pandemic, plants have become a thing. Houseplants, especially the exotic…read moreand rare varieties, can cost a pretty penny. Greenstreet Gardens is one of the few plant shops I physically visit for my gardening needs. Staffs are friendly and knowledgeable, and they carry some of the more common cultivars of Alocasia, Ficus, Philodendron and other Aroids. If you know, you know. As with most nurseries, the indoor tropical plants and succulents are displayed inside the vicinity. There's a small greenhouse across the main building where you can find some of the larger indoor plants. Outdoor in the back, you can find annuals and other seasonal plants. In the summer, they occasionally have succulents out in the back as well. FYI-- If you're loyal a plant parent, who tends to frequently shop for plant supplies, make a rewards card!

We moved into a house last summer and first on my list was handling the yard. The backyard had a…read morelot of bamboo, and throughout the first summer and fall it spread significantly. We attempted to remove some ourselves but were quickly overwhelmed by the task. I researched native plant landscapers and came across Swamp Rose Co-op. After reaching out, Jeff, one of the owners, came to do a site visit. He was thorough in his presentation of plans and this February we had them come and do bamboo removal and plant some native trees and shrubs to act as a privacy screen. The Swamp Rose team was amazing! They pulled out over 2 tons of bamboo and roots! They planted native trees and shrubs which are thriving. Our backyard woodland meadow dreams are coming true. We have the team coming back in a few weeks to rip out the standard plants seen in the Silver Spring area (liriope, lilies, weeds) to replace with a native garden and we can't wait. One of my favorite aspects of this company is it is a co-op. The employees can be owners, and those who aren't are still paid a living wage as calculated by the MIT living wage calculator. They do excellent work! It is hard to find a native landscaper but this team is fantastic.

A year and a half ago we hired a landscape designer from Meadows Farms to replace a paver patio and…read morebuild stone walls around it. We are retirees and tired of fighting with weeds between the pavers. I made it clear to the designer we wanted to do this to eliminate the constant weeding. Fast forward to today after returning from a three week vacation. We arrived home to 8" weeds and tiny ones in all the spaces. The "polymer" they place between the stones was supposedly going to harden but not crack with freezing and heating. Unfortunately, this is no better than the sand we had between our old pavers. I now have to spend hour weeding which pulls up the polymer with the weeds. The other option is to spray our patio with Round Up! We host family gatherings with grandchildren where we don't want them exposed to very harmful chemicals. I wish I could add photos to this review. We are very sorry we were sold this product. Do not make the same mistake.

A very positive experience! I'll definitely go with Burke Florist again!…read moreI was sending flowers to my parents who are elderly, so I had to work out some delivery logistics. I phoned two times, and spoke to Crystal and to Kim. Both ladies were lovely -- caring, kind and very helpful. I felt like I was in good hands. The delivery went smoothly and they followed my instructions. I ordered the smallest size of 'Nothin But Color'. Based on previous feedback, I was expecting it would still be sizeable -- and I was so pleased to see that it was quite full and densely packed with many colorful blooms! My parents were impressed too! I've attached photos -- the photos were taken at night, so it's hard to see the color. Thank you Burke Florist!
