I couldn't be happier with their service, a true gem.

It was a difficult job, requiring extensive soil tilling and old root grinding beforehand. The preparation was thorough, and the planting process was well executed. Quite impressive.

It is hard to work with now in adding shrubs and flowers. All in all, the trees look majestic.

He promised to get the job done the same day--and he delivered exactly as promised. Roberto and his team did a great job--efficient, clean, and professional.

We really appreciated the flexibility, quality of work, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend Roberto and his team!

As someone who knows almost nothing about gardening, I went looking for a gardener after purchasing…read morea house with preexisting gardens. I knew I needed more than a landscaper, I knew the sumac and poison ivy weren't supposed to be there, and I knew I needed an expert to help me out from there. Ruth walked with me through the grounds and gave me her ideas about how to make the space flourish and prosper. She clearly cares about the health of plants and the environment. She was respectful of my perspective and desires despite my lack of knowledge, and also respectful of the amount of time, money, energy that I could put toward the garden in the near future. She laid out a plan for both the immediate future and some long-term ideas about the best options for my property, including moving some plants to places that are better suited to them. Within a week of our first meeting, her assistant Kree was at our place to take out the sumac and other weeds. Kree was similarly friendly and knowledgeable, even ringing my doorbell at one point to educate me about a particularly unruly invasive on my property (black swallow-wort). If I knew someone else in a similar situation, I would absolutely recommend Ruth.

It was difficult to find plants that weren't damaged and in need of some serious TLC, although the prices were fairly decent for the Boston area. I would surely pay less locally, but I digress. Checking out was also a confusing process, and the store itself didn't feel very welcoming to customers as if the music was playing to make it seem like the employees couldn't talk. I probably wouldn't go here again unless I was looking for a cactus or succulent, and even then there's slim pickings.

This has that feel, you can almost get lost in the jumble of greenery and the whole place outside and in smells like the great outdoors.

Ricky (I think it was Ricky) is that perfect mix of exasperated and extremely helpful that makes me love New England generally. The staff generally has that feel, they'll give you all kinds of ideas and advice without for a moment losing their frustration at your ineptitude. It's just a great little institution to get to know.

I also had a question about gardenia care and was helped by the staff who were not only friendly but also very knowledgeable. Two definite plus points. There is really no comparison to other garden centers in the area--for us this one clearly stands out in terms of plant variety, care and expertise. Highly recommended.
