This place is great for your garden needs. Initially I thought this place was a small tiny flower shop, but I was wrong! Inside there's a variety of plants and garden supplies, when you walk further inside you can find fountains and large ceramic sculptures. If you walk further on you'll end up going to the outdoor area where there's bountiful plants. The staff is super friendly and helpful (unlike another place I used to frequent for plants *cough*homedepot*cough*). The staff knew exactly where to find the plant I was looking for. Prices aren't bad as well, I definitely recommend this place. They also have terraniums for sale, as well as cute tiny succulents and cacti. Staff was also knowledgeable in caring for the plants and answer my questions thoroughly. read more

Convenient location with a parking lot. The guy working with the indoor plants in the back of the store came off very condescending and was not too helpful. It wasn't just to me but he had an aggressive tone when he spoke to a couple that looked to him for some plant suggestions. He said he was the buyer and worked there for many years. Yikes! Despite the negative encounter, I thought the selection was decent, albeit dusty and I still picked up a new plant. Unfortunately, the plant had some bugs hiding under the leaves that I didn't notice until I got home. It happens and I hosed it down with a neem oil solution and hoped for the best. I also picked up a beautiful Lennox vase here for a very good price that helped balance my experience. Between this location and the Franklin Square store, I think the latter has friendlier employees for sure and also a larger selection of indoor plants. read more

My parents came into the store yesterday afternoon around 2:30 pm. They asked for assistance on a (fairly costly) item and an employee came over to speak with them. His mask was around his ear and not covering his mouth so they politely asked him to put it on. He told them they were having an attitude with him and said someone else could help them, and then he walked away. They asked another employee what his name was and they claimed they didn't see him. With that my parents just left without purchasing anything - not worth the health risk or rude treatment. read more

It's always fun to come here and see the season's decor and offerings. Prices are slightly higher than your big box stores but hey, understandable for a mom and pop plant store. We come here for the fun selection of pumpkins of all sizes and colors! read more

I was disappointed when I had to return a $150. Tree a month later because it wasn't performing well and Garden Well behaved as if they did not want to honor their one year guarantee policy. The question was asked of the "manager" if the tree was able to be returned. Please adhere to your warranties as stated in your brochure/receipt. read more

Amazing selection of houseplants! This place has almost all of my wishlist plants, at very reasonable prices. They do have a few rares and a bunch of popular plants here for AMAZING prices. I stood there staring at the Monstera selection trying to figure out which pieces of furniture I need to throw out in order to make room for it haha! All of the plants are healthy, didn't see a single gnat flying around, and the staff gave me a few tips about plant care while I was checking out. Another thing I love about this nursery is that all of their plants are labeled with the scientific names - that way you can just Google more care tips if needed. Great nursery to stop by; can't wait to come back in the Spring! read more

Variety is noteworthy. However, the prices are high and I would say it is helpful to prominently post all the prices so one can make an informed decision, especially since they have quality when it comes to the vast selection. read more

They have a very interesting selection of plants, at really great prices. As previous reviewers have said though, they have a fungus gnat problem. They always have had that problem for the years I've been shopping at their nursery, I just quarantine my new additions from the rest of my plants until they're gone. BUT FOR ME, the staff is what really kills the experience here. The customer service in general is abysmal. The young women running the cash register basically want you out of their face ASAP, do not engage in conversation with customers / asking if they found everything okay, and don't greet customers, do not have any helpful plant knowledge to answer your questions with, so my only guess is that they're kept around for their looks, no offense.. I rarely go back there, but the nursery section has a gatekeeper, watch your step. He provides unsolicited but helpful information about whatever is in your hand/ what you're looking at. I do not believe he's intentionally trying to make the customers feel stupid or treat everyone like a novice, but once again, like all the other reviews, maybe he does just enjoy treating customers like trash. Nothing will ever change here because the "rude employee" being mentioned in the comments ~might be~ the owner himself. Avoid, avoid, avoid. read more

This Nursery has a nice selection I will give them that. You will find different varieties of herbs than what you would find in your typical big box stores. I've tried to give this place a chance many times since they do have a really good selection. Like previous reviews they are a little bit pricier, but that's okay with me since you can find plants you typically can't find at other stores. While the selection is good the customer service is questionable at best. The reviews before me were pretty spot-on and every time I was rang up by any middle-aged woman in the store they always seem to have a look of contempt on their face. I never really say a word to these people, but I remember buying some potting mix and containers one morning and the woman who rang me up seemed to to have such a look of disdain on her face it was as if the contempt permeated through the air and into every fiber of my being. It felt awkward and as I was being rang up I remembered all the reasons why I almost always purchase from Amazon or online stores I don't have to deal with these kind of things. I feel like I'm the type of person who support mom and pop stores and when I find a store I like I shop there even if it's an extra price. And Garden World does have a good selection for the community. I was just there today. I picked up some potting mix and a container and unfortunately I had to ask one of those middle aged women a question if they carried a certain product and after her response I remembered my previous experience buying potting mix and containers, so I put the stuff down and walked out of the store. If I'm going go ahead and pay a little bit extra I can always order the less common plants that I want from Etsy and find the potting soil that I'm looking for from other small businesses in the area. read more

No tomato plants but too many to count at Hicks in Westbury. No comparison between Garden World and a real nursery with many choices.

Spend a lot of money here all year-round. Went today for propane refill. As always, the short stocky woman at the outdoor window is as surly as ever. Getting tired of it---if someone says good morning, say it back---not "yeah". Enough already. Unhappy with your job? Go be a prison guard or lunch lady. You'd be perfect for it. Done. read more

Garden World is great! We love this place! Large selection of plants, & other things that's related to lawns. The price here is also pretty good. The one thing that we don't like about this place is that they didn't write the price for some of the plants. It's not really a big deal but sometimes it can be annoying whenever we have to look for the staff just to find out about the price of certain plants. From our experience here, the staff were polite. We like this place! We'll definitely go back! read more

Love this place. It's a garden paradise. They literally have everything. I would of normally given Garden World 5 stars but this past week I was there and the place was mobbed. We need to do a better job social distancing. Nevertheless I would absolutely go back. read more

Thank you so much for my moms BEAUTIFUL retirement flowers. I decided to send her day of flowers and wanted to use a local florist. The flowers are absolutely stunning and even nicer than the picture online. Thank you so much for a prompt delivery and excellent service. I would definitely order from you in the future. read more

I would give this a 5* for all great garden variety and fresh cut flowers but feel they are pricey on many items and cashiers during the week are not friendly. Doesn't cost anything to smile and say "thank you" or "your welcome" after all returning customers do keep them up and running. read more

They have a good selection of indoor plants (my only focus when visiting, and of my review), depending on the season. If you're looking for variety, it's a good bet. Items are pretty high priced, especially the medium sized plants. Staff that I've encountered has been kind but not terribly helpful; when asking if they ever have a specific item, the employee just said whatever we have is out here and kept walking. I certainly would understand that reply as a matter of fact about what's available, but it was clear she had no idea what plants they ever have or don't have. I will likely return. read more

This is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a company, I have dealt with many companies that are professional. This company is only out to make money like most companies but they will charge you four times more than first stated, they just want to take avantage of you as the customer. My repair cost was $30 to fix a torn pulley on my snowblower. Then out the blue they're trying to charge me $369.89 for device that starts up perfect with no issues just to get money out of my pocket. That's not the worst part they bring me my snowblower full of dust and rust and it did not look like that when I gave it to them. In terms of repair never go to that location ever. I wish I can give them something lower than one star. read more

First time checking out this garden world , beautiful store but unfortunately staff wasn't too friendly or helpful. I walked past an older women who worked there and she just stared at me so I said hello , she didn't even answer back and so I just thought to myself , um ok whatever .. LOL .. I kept walking around and saw her again so I asked her for some assistance , I asked if she had any recommendations on how to take care of my Pilea and what to use to help it grow , she looked me up and down and then answered "I don't know" so I explained how I saw online to use African orchid soil so she rolls her eyes and saids with an attitude "it's not an orchid" so I said "yea I know" captain obvious over there , also said "well if that's what you read online then do that" a lot of attitude for no reason , I walked away , very bad vibes maybe not good for business , I ended up not buying anything , killed my mood honestly , it's sad to have such toxic ppl working at such a beautiful shop , hopefully she fixes her issues and her mean looking witch face . read more

One of my favorite spots in Queens to get good priced, fresh flowers and potted plants! Today, I needed to get fresh flowers for my anniversary and Dina was thrilled to help make me a beautiful, custom bouquet. She put a lot of care and attention into making the bouquet and truly took her time to make it come out absolutely perfect. She really cared about making me an amazing bouquet and for that I will definitely be coming back for more! If you ever need fresh cut flowers I highly recommend coming here to get them! They will not be as fresh or as affordable as they are at Garden World--I know from experience of being ripped off on flowers in Queens. read more

Great customer service and friendly staff. They are always willing to help you. I highly recommend this place!

This is my go to place for gardening supplies out of convenience since I live minutes away by car. The prices here for plants and gardening supplies are average to a little pricier. I have seen staff moving about but can't speak to whether they're helpful. What I can say is they don't stop to ask if you need any assistance or suggestions unless you hunt them down. I did say I come here out of convenience but if it's for propane? Not anymore. They charge a lot more for propane tank exchange compared to Lowes or Home Depot and they use Blue Rhino like Lowes. Paying $25+ for a exchange is crazy even if I don't have to drive to Lowes and Blue Rhino propane doesn't even fill their tanks to 100% for safety reasons. Yeah I'll be back for plants and garden supplies. BBQ supplies like propane? Nope. read more

Got my Christmas decorations for my grandparents and great grandparents gravestones this past holiday and was very pleased. The pieces lasted very long in comparison to other garden and flower places. Prices are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Will keep coming here for cemetery blankets and such whenever needed. read more

Solely for this guy who purposely blocked me at an intersection today while taking my son to school. Blatantly stared at us while stayed in front of my car ..smiling.. as his light changed and no one was in front of him. Great way to represent the company you drive around for. With their name on your bad attitude and awful driving lack of ability. They should hire qualified individuals. read more

This nursery is a staple if you live in Queens. I buy most of my plants, soil, garden-related items. They have just about everything here. I also buy my Christmas trees here during the holiday season. They also have a nice selection of gifts, propane for the grill. What else can I say...it's always fun to shop here, beautiful plants. Even if you aren't buying anything its great to walk around and take in the beauty. read more

Nice assortment of plants during warmer weather but can find better pricing elsewhere. Guy in the greenhouse needs to wear his mask correctly. It's always under his nose and not over when talking to customers. read more

I went to GW to get a propane tank, Chris was such a gentleman, he carried the tank to my car and adjusted my seats to secure the tank. Excellent customer service. read more

I love this place. I love flowers, nature, and plants so I highly recommend this shop if you're looking for plants at the best price and quality in NYC. We all know how expensive NYC is so why pay double for a less cared for plant? read more

Beautiful selection of plants, however the staff was incredibly rude. My wife and I spent a lot of money and were so excited about our purchase but were treated by staff as though we were an inconvenience. I understand everyone has an off day but to be treated so poorly by several members of staff was deeply disappointing. Additionally many members of staff were not wearing their masks. read more

3 stars for the plants and the older gentleman at the commercial area who is very knowledgeable and sweet. However, this place shares its entire lot with the HMART next door and HMART's lot is already huge but since there isn't designated parking specifically for Garden World, you have people from hmart parking over to the already tiny available spaces outside the Garden World. In addition, I also think there should be cameras and someone watching the lot because today is the second time some asshole decided to take picture of my plates because they decided to make their own parking spot and completely block other's people path of getting out. I have a back up camera on my car so I know how to be careful but that shit just pisses me off. Side note: I'm a tiny 5'5 Asian girl with a big SUV and I STILL park better than half of you fools! Put tow zone for these idiots who apparently ArE jUSt ToO StUpID to move out of the way. Entitled pricks. That is all. read more

I usually have a good experience here, but my experience today was not like how it normally is. Over the phone like always, they are professional, I asked them if they had sand in stock and they said yes, there are couple bags available of different kinds. I get into the store an hour later, there is only one kind that I see on the shelf and it was the last one. I was about to purchase the last bag of sand on the shelf but noticed that the pack was open. So i asked an employee in the nursery if there happen to be any other sand/ or item available. I know that this guy is usually a friendly person from what ive seen when i came in the store in the past. This was my first interaction with this man. He first got defensive about whats wrong with the one im holding. I told him that the package was ripped open and hoped to see if there was another one. He got a little defensive saying that its fine, the tear wasnt big enough for the pack to be open. He flipped it upside down to demonstrate this, and sand proceeds to fall out of the bag onto the floor and a little bit inside my shoes. He admitted at this point that he told a lie, and duct taped the package and told me "there it wont spill", i asked again can you just tell me if theres a different brand or something you guys have. At this point he seemed agitated and told me "No, everyone staying home think now they are some kind of horticulture masters and bought everything before you." . I just replied "oh thats funny" and left the situation as is. I ended up purchasing the bag and what do you know, the bag is spilling over at every vibration during transport. I should of known better and not purchased it, but I did needed it on the spot and settled with something i regret. If necessary i do have photographs to prove the claims of the purchase. Im going to try and understand that covid is stressful time for all, will have to return only when situation gets better and I will update the review accordingly based on my newest experience. Best of luck to everyone. read more

Y'all are crazy! The selection here is huge. I have to pass by a lot of the aisles with my eyes closed or else I'd buy everything. I guess I can't say much about the staff since I never talk to them, except for when I'm paying for my things. Maybe y'all aren't that crazy. AND it's actually not that pricey. I've compared the prices of wire fencing and landscape fabric from Home Depot and Garden World, and Garden World won by $1.25 and $0.60, respectively. Everything else is about the same. I just wish this wasn't so far from the crib! Any suggestions for other really good garden stuff in NYC? read more

What a beautiful place, with a great selection! The lady at the register today (3/7/22) was very helpful, answered all my questions, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I look forward to my next visit! read more

We always buy a real tree and this year went to garden world where we have gone in the past. This year prices are up and quality is way down . Most branches hardly hold an ornament and bottom is drooping the week before Xmas. Garden world should be embarrassed of selling these trees at these prices - hope it makes it til Tuesday read more

This place has a huge selection of flowers, plants, trees, pots, outdoor decor. The parking is kind of cluttered but the place itself is super nice. They have an outdoor and indoor section. They basically have everything you need for gardening from tools to soil. They have different types of trees and even ones that grow vegetables/fruits. All sorts of flowers, also warranties on the flowers up to a year which I thought was great. Staff is very helpful. Such a good place to have in the area if you don't want to travel all the way to Home Depot for planting stuff. read more

Extremely rude male dispensing the propane. Nobody says you have to greet everyone with a smile or, for that matter, love your job, but this guy appeared as though he was actually trying to be as nasty as possible. Tore the receipt out of my hand to check it and then, to add (almost injury) to insult, he dropped the tank at my feet upon filling it, just missing my toes. You just lost a customer. read more

Always love coming to this place because it's so relaxing. I especially love walking around in the back where all the succulents and plants are in the "greenhouse." Not my first time here but everytime I get to the register I always get the most rude customer service. Older lady had dark black short hair. Kinda reminded me of the lady from Orange is the New black. I said hello how are you to her when I visited today. No response. She packed my bags, I said thank you and no response. I wish there was just a self checkout like the supermarkets so I don't have to deal with such rude workers everytime I come here. I would visit every week if that would change. read more

Bridal Florist Review! Garden World is an excellent choice for any brides on a budget! They are a quarter of the price of other Bridal Florists. I worked with Dina and Jose, and they were so friendly and helpful. The flowers we selected were gorgeous. Jose had made me a bridal bouquet sample to approve, and on the wedding morning they were even more gorgeous. Wrapped in gorgeous ribbon, with rhinestone pins throughout, all the bouquets were absolutely stunning. The delivery had to be super early and they were very accommodating. Everything was perfect! read more

Gardening is my mini addiction and I LOVE LOVE LOVE GW. The variety is great. Plants are healthy and always grow well for me. Picked up Some succulents for my daughter to try growing over the summer. Got pots. Soil and some lawn seed to fill patches This is THE garden place in Queens people!! read more

Very disappointing experience! *Brought my propane tanks to be refilled, and once home, I discovered (with my perfectly fine gauge), that Garden World only filled them HALF way. That's a clear rip-off and taking advantage of customers. I would advise to stay clear of this place. I should have taken the negative reviews serious and stayed away. Will never go here again! read more

I really enjoyed the customer service I received at Garden World. The staff were amazing and went well-above the call of duty when I arrived with my son. He happened to have just been woken up by me since I couldn't leave him in the car. He was quite disgruntled and I was hesitant about how I was going to make my purchases while he was screaming his head off. They were nice to amuse him with plush animals while I made decisions about what I was looking for. The flowers are absolutely beautiful and I received compliments from my family about the bouquets. I definitely will be returning when the need for flowers arise again. read more
