Stepping into Dearness Gardens is like stepping into a fairytale land. I had often driven past here…read moreto and from work while living in Cornelius and wanted to check it out. When I finally did I was pretty blown away. The first two-thirds of the layout here are best enjoyed with a slow walk in the evening or morning. Have a look over all the decorative plants perfect for any backyard setting you may be planning. Want a pond? They've got one for inspiration. Want stone lanterns, busts and statuettes? They've got 'em. There's also an indoor shop with more decor related items like wind-chimes, wall-hangings and what-nots. My favorite spot would have to be right around the little hut. It sits about halfway back into the gardens right beside the pond. I believe it's more-or-less home to a separate sort of consignment shop. It wasn't open when I visited but it was a pleasant spot simply to be in. Are you wandering around Davidson-Cornelius-Huntersville and looking for the next spot to enjoy a slow finish to the day with your date? I'd suggest dropping in here.

It's beautiful and they had some really nice things on display and for sale. They even had a dream plant of mine. It was a bit pricey here to me, compared to other local spots but it was nice to walk around. I was surprised I didn't buy anything but I had so much fun checking them out. The staff wasn't the most helpful or friendly but that didn't bother me. I was there for the plants.

I had the awesome pleasure of attending Metrolina's Trial Garden event last week and I'm so glad I…read moredid. I've driven by many times and always wanted to see what it was like inside. For the event, we didn't get to tour the indoor greenhouse but I didn't mind that. I understand it's a busy place. But to be able to see the massive outdoor area and landscape was amazing! I mean it was acres on acres of beauty, flowers and greenery. There's a little lake or water reservoir in the back as well. This event was a really fun time. I got to peruse their flowers and even vote on which ones I liked best to hopefully be included in their 2026 season. This was such a great experience and I'm so grateful I got to see inside!!

Outstanding greenhouse selection and outstanding customer service…read more I had a player of mine whose father passed away and my guys wanted to send some fruit trees to be planted in his honor on their property. Not only did they help me take the order with care and compassion but when they delivered to an outdated address they called me and were patient while I found their new address and redelivered to the new address. They even offered to plant the trees themselves but my guy wanted to do it himself for obvious reasons. I don't know what their storefront looks like or whatever but I can tell you they are top notch over the phone and are a company/business with a Heart and it shows. Thanks for helping all of us through emotional times.

I ordered 6 Russian Sage plants from Creekside Nursery, hoping for healthy, vigorous specimens…read moresuitable for my high-elevation Zone 4a garden in rural Idaho. The plants arrived after 3 PM on Friday, July 3rd. I opened the box immediately and was disappointed to find one plant clearly damaged (broken stems and crushed foliage) and the remaining five in only fair to poor condition--wilted, stressed, and showing signs of rough handling during shipping. Because I had family company arriving for the 4th of July holiday weekend, I was unable to take and send detailed photos within their strict 24-hour claim window. I emailed them today (Monday, July 6th) with a full explanation of the circumstances, photos of the damaged plant, and a polite request to replace just the one severely damaged plant. Unfortunately, they refused to make any exception to their policy. While I understand businesses need policies to protect against abuse, a rigid 24-hour window with no flexibility for a legitimate holiday-weekend delivery--especially when the damage was noticed immediately upon opening--feels overly punitive. The quality of the plants themselves was also subpar compared to what I expected for the price. I've had better experiences with other mail-order nurseries that show more customer-friendly flexibility during busy holiday periods. I won't be ordering from Creekside Nursery again. Rating: 2/5 stars (one star for the attempt to fulfill the order, one for eventual response)

Long story short I got it rescheduled. I brought my staff here as a suprise and they were nervous but delighted. We were explained to containers and plants to match. Then left to our own devices to decorate. Plan for at least an hour here. We were given some informationon aftercare. Our babies were boxed up and we paid our balance.
