    Great place to look for a great variety of plants, trees, and flowers. Plus, if you pay $7, you can look around the grounds, which is filled with beautiful landscaping and even some creatures. Would recommend!

    What a beautiful nursery - idyllic setting, tucked away past some hills and some woods, along the Delaware, where duckies and frogs are noisy and watch you, koi fish swim in the pond, and peacocks roam free... as if you were in a fairy tale. Oh, right! You're in a nursery! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. We were fortunate to hit a midsummer sale, and got beautiful, large lilies for $11 ea,, large rosemary plants for $5, etc. Lovely all around with lots of great plants for your indoor and outdoor gardens, windowsills, containers, and anywhere you enjoy greenery. Highly recommended.

    We visited Paxson Hill with friends who lived nearby but had never actually been here. What we found was an extensive set of grounds and gardens, a nursery, and a working farm (the latter being closed to the public). After parking in the small dirt lot, we slipped $5/person in the provided envelope and proceeded to stroll the grounds. The property was more extensive than I expected. Plus there was a lot of variation, with an open lawn and fountain area (presumably for events); a small grass amphitheater; some small ponds with bridges and raised walkways, and even a small hut structure (called a 'Hobbit House'). The biggest surprise for me was the extensive hedge maze with a gazebo in the center. We enjoyed our walk and noted the many sculptures that were scattered throughout the space. Our only nit was the complete lack of bathrooms (apart from a port-a-john back at the parking lot). On the return to parking we briefly visited the greenhouse-style nursery (which was extra toasty on a cold day) but were not in the market to buy any plants that day. Besides, there weren't any staff to help us. We had a pleasant stroll here but I'm not sure I'd pony up the cash to visit again; it felt a little odd to pay $ with a commercial business on the premises selling nursery and landscaping services (Uhm...It's called a "showroom"). But I could easily see this as a venue to hold or attend an outside event.

    Wow what a dive this took. Prices went up, customer service went down…read more I went in, asking for advice about a plant my mother, who passed away, had given me. It is really special to me that the plant lives as long as it can. The older man at the counter said, "Have you tried not worrying about it? It's going to do whatever it wants." That was his ONLY *advice*. I asked him about maybe adding a rooting agent and he said that was a good idea and then *instructed* me on how to use a rooting agent... incorrectly. If a plant isn't growing it's the environment that needs to change. You can't leave it up to the plant. This is basic gardening logic. I needed advice adjusting the environment -- soil, nutrients, a grow light -- not complete apathy. This garden center has the highest prices of any in the area, but I'd pay it for people who care and know what they're doing. I'm not paying $10 for rooting agent (which I already have) and an extra surcharge of the audacity.

    Today I had a HORRIBLE experience at The Living Earth. I went in to try and get a plant replaced…read morethat I purchased several weeks ago because plant is not doing well at all. The owners rather than offering help or to replace it where VERY nasty and said that its my fault the plant is not doing well and would not replace it. I purposely shop at small garden centers like this one to support the small and local businesses. I left very upset. I didn't argue or get overheated. What a horrible way to treat your customers. Shouldn't it be a their goal to treat the customer well and make sure their happy! I explained to them I just had a similar experience at another local shop, Uncle Ed's Creamery, who made a simple mistake with a purchase. Not only did they replace it, they gave me a gift certificate!!! Thanks Uncle Ed's. I will NO longer shop The Living Earth. I have spent LOTS of money supporting their business, but I will NO longer shop here. What a HORRIBLE and BULLYING experience. Mrs. A

    We've gotten a patio with plantings and two shade trees through Rutgers. They are a little more…read moreexpensive than their competitors which we knew, but we loved the whole experience of the design and thought they were very professional. The reason why I wouldn't recommend this company is the quality of their support is subpar. Many of the plantings died within the first year even though they get watered daily. The trees don't grow, whereas trees we bought from other landscaping companies in the area are already taller than our house. The patio has loose pavers and the low voltage lighting doesn't work everywhere. Some lights work, others don't. When I asked about the lights, they said it's a supplier issue from China, however they've installed other patios in our neighborhood with lights. I guess it's only a supplier issue for warranty issues and not new installs. The issue with the loose pavers however is the reason I'm writing this review. When I called to asked them to come out and take a look, they told me they can't take support calls like this over the phone instead I would need to email them. I don't understand how a company that I paid thousands of dollars to for a patio won't talk to me on the phone. I now have to wait days for a reply via email. Ridiculous Also, they are going to reply to this review asking me to call them and speak to management. That's a waste of time as when I call the person on the phone will say "send us an email". Terrible.

    ‍ What an…read moreunexpected surprise! Bravo and standing O to the team. NYC caliber - UES replants- food ruined. Hospitality A+ Atmosphere A+ YES CHEF! Nailed it! Starter: Amuse bouche - 3 exceptional treats each Petite biscuits- received 4, wanted 20 1st course- Yummiest Salad, exquisitely dressed. Tuna tartar- incl shallots and avocado and toast point in a perfect stacked combination with a light sauce accompaniment. Perfect. Subtle. 2nd course- 9 hour braised Short Rib. i'm the one that usually gets this although my husband did and I have to say it's some of the best short ribs I've ever put into my mouth. The polenta was cooked to perfection. I made a very loud yummy sound when I tasted his meal. I ordered the lamb 3 generous lollipop lamb chops and felt no shame as I gnawed at my bones. Temperature perfect, the sauce!!! and the carrots julienned with the best spice and maybe a pinch of brown sugar (tried guessing because it was so good, these were not carrots ! So much more. And a purple potato mash that was ... I mean everything was beyond our hopes. We chose the fresh fruit desert that had a very unusual combination, 2 of which I'd never had before. I'm now a convert. We were served by Tracy clearly and expert (warm but not making herself the focus) with Brady in training and already up to speed. Some things I noticed. When food came out the whole kitchen came out and served everybody at once! How refreshing to see that. All servers were attentive and paying attention to the entire room. No one felt unnoticed and forgotten. The wonderful woman behind the desk at the entryway, took us on a tour of the event space with complete joy and enthusiasm. She didn't seem put out at all in fact I wanted to just hang out with her for a while. So welcoming. The second we walked in the door everyone said hello to us as if they had known us for years! We just moved here. We had never been there in our lives. The property is perfectly maintained, makes quite a statement, and the new converted barn was my dream barn. My only regret is that I didn't get to meet all the sheep on the property. If any guests come to visit us in our new home in French Town, we're going to recommend they stay there in one of the cottages possibly or the in itself so that they can have the ultimate comfort and the elegance. They would expect in an overnight that I fear, our guest room will not lend itself to. I want to get married again so I can get married there! I want to eat there once a week! Gratitude to my niece who we asked for a recommendation of where we should eat for a nice meal to celebrate my husband, after a big achievement. She has lived here for three years and as a trained nutritionist and chef herself. She said the only place you should go is the Woolverton Inn and its New Restaurant. She will be receiving a gift! Lastly, I was so overwhelmed upon entering the restored barn that I forgot the name of the elegant man who received us with such grace. He's a gracious host and constantly circulated the room keeping an eye on the flow with light personnel suggestions ( potato soup with lobster next time! I promise) and birthday wishes for a large families grandmother. Go, enjoy, stay there, eat there, bring friends there! Bon apetite!

    I've always passed by this beautiful building but have never stepped inside before. My first visit…read morewas earlier this week and it's just a beautiful place. From what I understand, they recently renovated and added the restaurant to this historic building. You have to come and check it out for yourself. The food was incredible with big portions. The servers were extremely nice and attentive. I'm so thrilled to add this as one of my new favorite places.
