It has turned into a tourist magnet over the past 10 years and the place is small and crowded with people who can't figure out how to pass each other while browsing. The prices are very high, but what isn't lately? I don't really feel compelled to buy anything here because it's hard to navigate the small overcrowded parking lot without getting hit as it is, let alone carrying a big tree. My daughter did buy some nice hanging plants.

I got myself a very reasonably priced New Hampshire "Live Free or Die" shirt, which I'm sure with go over well with the Boston city folks, lol. People with allergies beware: due to the old building, the cats, and the plants, this may trigger sensitivities. All that aside, if I'm hopping around Southern NH, I'd be sure to check this place out.

Used to be good in communication via email - I had some plants of interest that I found on line and…read morewanted to know if they had these available or something similar. I sent a few emails and never heard back. Email was better, because the person who could answer this could be contacted internally and then they could get back to me. Calling in to find out, I would be put on hold and then would have to wait to see if the person who could answer the question is available and then they would have to get to a phone to take the call. I 'had' beed dealing with this business since the 1970s - when it was run initially by twins; not sure how many hands the business has past through so far.... VERY disappointed that I never heard back; if I still have an interest in purchasing from them, I will HAVE to go in person and they aren't exactly close to places I normally visit in Salem. :-(

Does not stand by their guarantee!…read more All my plants that were already in my yard are gorgeous, healthy, and thriving. The only plants that are dying are the ones that came from Scenic nursery. I also addressed my concerns with Glenn (the owner) within the one-year guarantee period (I have email records of this), and I discussed my concerns directly with him when they were here to mulch. At this point, I will take this as a loss, and you will lose a customer. Edited to say, you should see the emails that I received because he was unhappy that I left a negative review! The owner is unhinged! Regarding those emails..... Friday night I emailed Mr. Caron: "Hi Glenn, Just an FYI. - 4 azaleas & 2 rhododendrons completely dead. Only plants we are having issues with." He responded that he believes a dog is urinating on the plants. As I subsequently told him, my dogs are on an electric fence and UNABLE to go in the gardens. The plants are also in different parts of the garden. What is most concerning is how the owner has handled a customer disagreeing with him. Rather than keeping this about the plants and his guarantee, he began personally attacking my character because I challenged his explanation and left an honest review. These are emails I've received from him: "You feel better now with your lies of omission on the ratings sites? Im not worried we have many other counter reviews and i reply to all none 5 star reviews. Let the people decide! You will eventually pay for your lawlessness and defamation. I had a hunch you were like this" And: "Good bye Enough, Live with your consequences, I am ! I stick with what I have stated and NO it was not all your dogs it was YOU too with your neglect !I also could see very well how you are not all there from when I showed up to see that you destroyed most of the plants that were in your yard without consulting any experts to try and save replace or transplant any of them. You had very expensive plants there and you had no idea what to do with them . Your improper process and plans regarding your own landscape is very evident yet you seem to be the expert...ENOUGH , i have no further need to communicate with a character like yours. ! I DID try and make things right evidenced by what we DID do ! You just dont care about that but only how you feel and what you think happened which is far from the truth . AND AGAIN I SAW your dog do it and i have a witness besides! So deny it all you want as all you have are your own illusions and your unrighteous character ! Your vindictiveness shows by your defamation post on YELP( which is a sucky site anyway) and google of which i have replied for those who will review it. MY work speaks for itself and i challenge you to find anyone better. GO ahead and see. PAY thru the nose too! I KNOW MY BUSINESS inside and out and this industry to the tune of 40 + years. You ARE messing with an expert and telling me im wrong ! Suppose you tell your doctor or your accountant the same ! It doesn't matter you made your bed now Lay in it . It's MOOT to continue discuss as YOUR ACTIONS have ruined this relationship as i am sure you have done to others" This is how the owner speaks to a customer over a disagreement about 6 dead plants and a guarantee. Instead of handling my concern professionally, he chose to attack me personally and make judgments about my character. Yikes! As for "neglect": again, most of our plants came from Scenic Nursery and are thriving. We also transplanted lilies & hostas that were here when we bought the house, and they're thriving. Our soaker hose runs 2 hours a day, plus we physically water. No neglect here! I stand by my honest review of my experience. The owner's own emails speak for themselves. I would also encourage anyone considering Scenic Nursery to read the other reviews from dissatisfied customers -- and, just as importantly, read Glenn's responses to those reviews. How a business owner responds when a customer is unhappy says a lot. After receiving the emails above and seeing how other negative reviews have been handled, I think customers can draw their own conclusions about the professionalism and integrity being demonstrated here.

Delivery went smooth and the delivery driver was very friendly and professional. I was happy with my purchase until I started filling my raised beds and scattering my lawn with the soil and noticed it was filled with large rocks and debris, I even found multiple pieces of plastic and old cigarette packages. The soil is absolute GARBAGE and ruined my spring lawn overseeing and raised bed filling plans. I now have rocks scattered throughout my yard and my raised beds are rocky and overrun with weeds. I contacted the company to work out some sort of resolution and was told that they source their soil from a 3rd party and don't even screen it themselves. The receptionist said I would receive a call back to discuss the poor product but never received one - that was three weeks ago. Learn from my mistake and don't do business with this company. "Shady" Hill is a spot on name for this shady business.
