I think sometimes we forget what amazing, personalized service used to be like many years ago. You'll find this and be pleasantly surprised, at Hilltop Gardens. Within a couple minutes, Bob asked if I needed help finding anything, learned a little about the history of Hilltop (3 generations family owned), then was able to find exactly what I'd come in for. Patti helped me pick out beautiful, healthy annuals, gave great tips on care and feeding and through her suggestions I bought a little more than I'd come in for. They have an amazing selection and very reasonable prices! They are expanding and I can't wait to see all the beautiful products yet to come in the new building right next door to "mom and dad's house".

As an avid gardener, I've purchased plants from just about every nursery and garden center in RI,…read moreand from quite a few in MA. No other garden center comes close to offering the selection and quality of plants and trees this nursery has to offer. There are plants here you simply won't find anywhere else. And everything is so incredibly healthy! The person who helped me here--Dave-- was extremely helpful and informative. I brought in a photo of my yard, and, from that photo, he designed a landscape that literally transformed the whole look of my house: he helped me select which plants would work best in my yard and soil; and which plants/colors best complimented one another. I then decided to do the planting myself. Dave delivered the plants, laid out everything for me, and then meticulously explained the correct way the plants should be planted. Thank you Airport Nursery for helping to give my home a beautiful new look. I'll be back to do my backyard next! CM

In the middle of Broadway, there is a house covered in greenery…read more If this were a world of magic, you might assume this was the home of the local herbalist--a place where you'd knock on the door looking for some mysterious remedy made from roots and leaves. And yet, there actually is something a little magical happening here. I've always loved the idea of having plants in my home. The problem is that buying one usually comes with a sudden avalanche of questions: Where am I going to put this? Is this the right pot? How much do I water it? Does it need direct sunlight? Is this even the right plant for me? Am I just paying $30 to slowly murder this thing? Those questions have honestly kept me from buying plants for years. Then, on a whim, my wife and I walked through the door here. I fully expected to leave with a beautiful plant that I would bring home, admire for a few weeks, accidentally kill, and eventually apologize to while throwing it away. Instead, I think they may have turned me into a plant person. The first thing that makes this place special is the space itself. This residential house has been transformed into what feels like a living, breathing home filled with beautiful, youthful plants. The selection feels purposeful, and everything is placed so naturally that there's a flow as you wander from room to room. It never feels like you're walking through a store with inventory lined up on shelves. It feels like you're touring someone's wonderfully eccentric home and discovering all the little things they've collected along the way. There are even things tucked into corners or sitting on tables that look so perfectly at home that I'm still not 100% sure whether some of them are actually for sale. And somehow, every time I visit, I notice something I swear wasn't there before. A new plant. A piece of pottery that feels far too nice for what it costs. Some strange little decorative treasure. A seashell that suddenly becomes the perfect new home for an old plant you brought back to be repotted. You can walk in thinking you have a quick errand to run and realize 45 minutes later that it has become one of the most enjoyable parts of your week. There's something genuinely calming about wandering through the rooms and seeing what you discover. But as beautiful as the plants and the space are, they aren't what ultimately made me want to keep coming back. It's the people. There is something wonderfully contagious about how excited the staff gets about your plants. When you make a choice, they don't react like someone who just rang up another item. They make you feel like you somehow discovered the coolest plant in the entire building. Their enthusiasm makes your purchase feel personal--as though you didn't just buy something; you picked your plant. And if you're someone like me who walks in knowing approximately nothing, there is never a feeling that you should already know the answers. They'll travel through the rooms with you, answer questions, help you figure out what works with the light in your home, talk through pots and care, and steer you toward something that actually fits your life. You leave not only excited about what you bought, but confident that the plants in your arms might actually survive living with you. That completely changed plant shopping for me. And the relationship doesn't necessarily end when you swipe your card. They seem to care about the plants they sell almost like someone who fostered an animal and still wants occasional updates to make sure it's doing okay. You can bring plants back when they need some extra TLC. They'll repot them. They can help care for and water them while you're away. There's a wonderful feeling that if something starts going wrong, you have somewhere to bring it besides Google at 11:30 at night while searching, "Why are my plant's leaves turning brown?" And if they don't have what you're looking for, they actually remember. Mention that you've been searching for a bonsai tree, and a month later your phone might light up with a text and a picture: Look what came in. That kind of service is increasingly rare. It turns what could have been a simple retail transaction into a relationship. I originally walked through that greenery-covered house expecting to buy a plant I would probably kill. Now I walk in excited to see what's new. Somewhere along the way, they didn't just sell me plants. They took away the uncertainty that had kept me from owning them in the first place. They made learning about them fun, made caring for them feel manageable, and made buying one feel less like bringing home a decoration and more like adding another small living thing to your home. So maybe my first impression was right. Maybe there is a little magic in that house on Broadway after all.

All this time I was missing out on a fantastic botanical wonderland with native perennials and a superb variety of pollinator plants. I've been creating a pollinator garden and word of mouth everywhere was to visit Prickly Ed's to stock up on plants. There are echinaceas, lobelia cardinalis, asclepias, rudbeckia, euthrochium spp., aquilegia canadensis, symphyotrichum novae angliae, liatris, shrubs, annuals and more. As you wander through the rows of plants, you'll be greeted by friendly staff who are more than happy to share their wealth of knowledge and gardening tips. I went there with my carefully curated list of plants determined to stick with it but as soon as I stepped foot into this botanical playground my addiction kicked in. The list was put away and I surrendered to the allure of Prickly Ed's plant bounty. I just can't help myself.

This winter I decided to start all my garden plants from seeds inside. I had done this on a smaller…read morescale in the past but was trying to grow a few dozen plants this time. I needed more little seed starting cells (trays) and covers for the seedlings as well as another grow light. I bought the trays and covers as well as a grow light at Live To Grow. The guys at the shop were really nice and explained the pros and cons of different types of lights. They tried to explain the light I chose, which was the only one that was close the right size that was in stock at the moment, was probably a lot more powerful than I needed but I insisted I wanted to give it a try. It turned out to be a really industrial strength light and way more powerful than what I needed. So a week later I was back at the shop and a little embarrassed to be returning the light (unused, with receipt) but I was kindly given a full refund to my credit card (about $90). I would not hesitate to come back to this shop in the future for more supplies for indoor growing. The specialties of this store are a bit different from what I grow but it seems like a good place to shop and learn.

The owner began to raise his voice and swear at myself and my father. I've never been to a business where the customer is yelled at. Anthony Girardi is a complete douchebag who is desperate for money, and also sold my friend a product that killed his plants. Avoid this business at all costs and go to Good to Grow.
