The edible was what I was there for: we spent ages deciding between different varieties of (very healthy) cucumber starts and patio tomatoes. They even have stuff that I'd never seen in a nursery around here before, like lemongrass. Even if you don't have any pressing need for petunias, the greenhouses are a really nice environment for wandering around and smelling the flowers for a while.

I went very early in the season and some of the edibles I wanted weren't quite ready for sale. I was impressed to learn they had many varieties of tomatoes (bush and vine, cherry, grape, beefsteak, etc) and many variations of herbs (culinary and ornamental rosemary, assortments of lavender, thymes). Since I also went early in the day, everything was well stocked, I had a crew member show me to each item I was looking for, and it was still pleasantly cool in all the green houses. Basically, it was paradise for me for the time I was there. As a hobby gardener who only has container plants on my patio, I appreciated the extra help and pointers when I had questions. This is high on my list of places to go when I'm looking to pick up a new plant.

Shopping inside was a bit challenging, because they were closing out summer and autumn items in preparation for Christmas (and you know they'll have a great Christmas display, because it's a Hewitt's). But I did manage to find a few deals on summer items. It's unlikely I'd shop here regularly, mostly because there's another Hewitt's 1 mile from where I live, but I'd certainly stop in again if I'm in the area.

Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

Professional and knowledgeable arborists!…read more I had a great experience with New Leaf! Jerry did a site visit to assess the health of my old apple tree. He returned several weeks later to do the pruning - probably the tree's first in over 50 years. The tree is now much lighter and looks great - cant wait for this year's crop of apples! Jerry is extremely personable and very thoughtful. During his two visits he provided very helpful information about tree care. Also Jerry and his colleague (oops, cant remember his name) did a terrific job of cleaning up. I also appreciated that New Leaf kept me updated about my appointment date and the time of arrival. Highly recommend.

The project involved taking 10 large trees down from around the house and pool area. We were amazed at how neat they were at the end of each day, as well as the brisk pace they were able to work.

Very professional and friendly staff. We strongly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future. James and Gina Armstrong

For 25 years I have over paid a few bucks here or there for fertilizer or commercially produced…read morebagged items while also purchasing thousands in landscaping to support Hewitts. Today, Monday wasn't busy. Myself and one customer. I purchased $400 worth of shrubs and various compost, fertilizer etc. The store was more than staffed, several men and women working in the landscape area, but no offer to assist. One man did however make sure he wrote the green slip for 6 forsythia in my wagon. And then he watched me wheel that wagon to the front, and watched me return to where he was still standing and get the second wagon full of plants and then watched me wheel that one to the front also. Not busy, standing around with the 4 other employees. Not a hose in their hand, no moving landscape. Standing. Watching a 60+, 5' tall, 100 lb lady loading and wheeling around landscape. Chatting, phone checking. I went in and paid the cashier with a pixie cut. She could not seem any less friendly. In my head I rationalized that maybe she was having a bad day. This tells you how unfriendly she was; as a customer I was expending mental energy wondering why the Hewitt's employee seemed annoyed with me making a purchase. I had purchased bags of compost and potting soil and she told me to drive around to pick them up. I told her I had a lot to load into the truck and please wait to call, it would take me a few minutes to load up. Again, no offer to send anyone to give me a hand. It took me several minutes to load most of it but I needed another cardboard box. I returned to the store to get another cardboard box and she said "you should hurry, I called them". Incredulous, I stared at her waiting for a smile or to say something else, nothing. She wasn't kidding, she wasn't having a bad day, she was stunningly rude. I drove back and the kid loaded 6 bags of compost and he said you are all set. I said there are 2 bags of potting soil too. He said they didn't say anything about that. Do you have a receipt? I sure did, for $400 which included the two bags of $5 potting soil that he was worried were being stolen because pixie cut didn't give him accurate info. I actually asked the guy loading the bags if the store had changed hands, it was so awful and uncomfortable, I thought maybe Jason was no longer there. He assured me it was the same management. Good to know. I understand loss prevention, but without employee common sense, an ability to practice some discretion, meet an expectation that customers should be treated cordially or to help customers move and load landscaping that is being purchased, we don't need to shop there. Way to end a 20 plus relationship Hewitts. I'll shop the big box where I hate what I am supporting, but I like the way that I am treated.
