My family has been coming to Farmer Jon's for years. I've always known them for having a great…read morevariety of seasonal flowers but never knew they have this awesome setup for the fall season. I haven't visited NY during the October-November months in some time, so I was surprised to see this elaborate setup while driving by. The first thing Nancy said was we got to get a photo there!! So that's what we did. The photo op area is a well-built play area for kids, there is actually a slide and ladder on the backside of the man-made pumpkin, little ones can climb inside and look out through the eyes for a fun photo. There are several other photo op areas, not quite elaborate as this one that adults can join in on as well. Farmer Jon's has a unique selection of pumpkins, gords, seasonal flowers, yard art, clay and concrete sculptures, and more for sale for a reasonable price. If you're in the area I recommend stopping in to see what they have to offer.

I have been going to Beckers for almost 50 years. Until Sunday the 14th of June, I have always had…read morea great experience. I went looking for lavender, I asked a girl and she asked someone else where it was. She went with me but it was not where she was told, after awhile I thanked her and looked further. I found it, it didn't look great so I asked if they could take a little off, she called the manager. The women came to the register and I asked about a discount, I have never done that before. The manager was very rude and said no. As she walked away she said most people can't get it to come back the next year. I was shocked and just paid for it and left. The girl at the register was very nice.

In fact I thought the cashier make a mistake because the price was outrageously unreasonable for what I purchased. I bought 6 heirloom tomatoes, 5 peaches and a pint of cherries. $35!

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.

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.
