    I cannot say enough good things about this place!…read more I have a black thumb, meaning I kill every plant type thing, just by being in the vicinity. Maybe I look at them the wrong way? Either way, plants don't like me. Much to my sadness! I received a peace lily when my aunt passed and for many sentimental reasons I am dead set on keeping this one alive. It's been hard, and I've tried everything mentioned online- changing the location, repotting, giving water daily, giving water once a week, etc. Nothing worked! Finally a friend mentioned this place, and how you can take your plants there, and they'll provide TLC and I figured what the heck! But TLC is the bare minimum, they do so much more! They drilled a hole into my pot for better drainage, changed the soil, added fertilizer, and some rocks on top for better protection. I feel like now I have a fighting chance for my plant. I didn't even know this was a service that any place provided. I felt so looked after and taken care of. Everyone here is so kind to boot, and it's a beautiful nursery with so much parking. Love love love!

    Always love a stroll through Thompson + Hanson. It's such a peaceful, beautifully curated space:…read morepart nursery, home shop, and little garden oasis. I spotted some Silver Falls for around $2.50, which wasn't a bad deal, though most of the plants tend to be on the higher end. Still, the quality and atmosphere are hard to beat. The pottery and planter selection is gorgeous!, and the little shop inside is full of charm (curated clothing, glassware, and home pieces) that feel effortless but elevated. Right next to Tiny Boxwoods and Tiny's Milk and Cookies, so it's perfect for a relaxing browse before grabbing a treat or lunch. Great stop for a little inspiration (and maybe a splurge!).

    I stumbled upon this wonderful nursery a few short months ago. The first person I encountered was a…read moreyoung cashier named Sylvia. Sylvia is a terrific asset for this business. She is knowledgeable, helpful, caring and friendly. I totally believe she loves her job, and gets to know her customers and their needs. When I go in there looking for something I always go to Sylvia first. She then tells me if they have it, and where it is located on the lot. If they don't have it she sees to it that it is ordered, and will even contact me when it comes in. I truly like her, and her helpful and caring customer service. Since I am a beginner Beekeeper, and love to grow much of my own vegetables, I show her some pics of what I am doing or looking for, which helps her to serve my needs better. I also find that the nursery has a tremendous selection of items that me or any novice gardener would desire or need. As a Marine Sgt. Veteran, they also give me a discount on every purchase I make. I like the way these folks do business, and I trust we will have several more years together, as I am beginning to to get some age on me, like a fine wine. Ray S.

Walking in here is like walking into a Zen garden. Also the top-notch service. I met Sydney today at their physical location and she was so helpful and knowledgeable. I met this company three weeks ago at the Lynn Market Square here in downtown and I bought a peace lily. I liked it so much. I want to go buy another one. I like how they prep it and put it with water in a vase. Such a great look at my high-rise. I love it.! The customer service again is top-notch. Sydney was the best. The space they have here is one of the most peaceful nice places you'll ever visit. The energy here is good and real! I'm gonna make this one of my go to places to get flowers, and things of that nature. The easiest five star review I've done in a long time! If you follow me, I suggest you stop in and pay them a visit.

    Helpful service! I needed dirt so we stopped in. He said they will receive a shipment the next day,…read moreso only one bag of "general dirt" was available. I purchased that for $5. I also got a vermiculite potting mix for my Chelsea Hoya. He gave me a great tip to slowly increase the size of my pot when I repot each year (I wanted to make a big jump, but that could shock the plant and not give it time to adjust). I didn't buy any plants this visit, but when I need a new plant, will stop here first.

    I'll start by saying Liz E.'s review was spot on. It was my first visit since they had made me…read moreangry several years ago. What was more infuriating is I wasn't shopping for myself, but my HOA. They have a bigger budget for this kind of thing than I do. I needed about 30 plants, half of them shrubs. Laughingly, I took one of the handy carts and located most of the shrubs about as far away from a cashier as you can get. Fortunately, it was downhill. That cart only held 4 shrubs. So I took them uphill to the main building and asked if I could get help with the rest. We each grabbed carts, and he eventually figured out it was going to be slow going. So he told me he would go get the BIG cart and left with the cart he had brought, empty. Twenty minutes later, I find him at a cash register, hoping someone would hurry and check out. It took him a second to register who I was, and then he explained how he could not leave the register. So *I* walked out to the street and got one of the big carts. The kind they probably use at rodeos or something to haul off dead livestock. So I got that loaded up along with the other standard cart. An employee in the next aisle who was arranging things told me I needed to ask the cashier if I wanted help. It was obvious that anyone under these circumstances could benefit from assistance, especially if they were as old as I am. I'm pretty old. Someone did finally go to get the loaded Carcass Cart and brought it to the cashier with my other carts. All in all, over $500. I may have gotten a price break, or that was the hint, anyway. Still not enough for anyone to volunteer to help me to my truck with the stuff. I think my second trip for another cart shamed them, and someone brought down the big cart. I think there is a good variety of plants there. It's a damned shame no one there knows where they are.

    This place needs improvement…read more I am looking for plants and I can see HGC has lots of inventory when driving by. I tried to call them and the phone numbers go straight to VM. I attempted to call several of the listed numbers and ended up calling the corporate office. The corporate number was the only number that someone answered. I asked about the phone going to VM and I was told they all go to vM. I then asked about inventory and was told that the corporate office has no access to inventory list. This is horrible customer service. Why should a customer have to drive to a location to check availability ? Why does the corporate office not know what the stores are stocking? What a poorly run operation! I will go elsewhere and buy from someone who actually communicates with customers.

Depending on your…read moreproject you can shop at the big box stores which provide for your average needs, but if you are doing any kind of private landscaping, gardening or want the exacting standards of quality materials with low environmental impact then local businesses like Nature's Way Resources is the way to go. For this project, I aerated and dethatched part of my front yard and it was in need of a good base layer for the soil to recover; in addition to, landscaping a front patio area. I ordered 1 1/2 Cubic Yard Leaf Mold Compost, 1/2 Yard of Landscaper mix, a few Black-eyed Susan, a Mexican Sage bush and some other pollinators. Due to the time saved from gathering all my materials from this one location saved me $$$ and I was able to complete the project in a weekend. If your need is not as expansive they offer bagged soil for smaller needs, but to get the best value I would partner with a fellow DIYers with pickup trucks and order loose materials or have it delivered on site. Nature's Way Resources also have a big selection of mulch, compost, fertilizers and offer a Green Waste Recycling program. If you read this post to the end, I will let you in on a little secret.....they have a rock garden in the rear where contractors and DIYers dump material not needed and you will find some gems for FREE. All you need to do is sign a liability waiver at the front desk and recommend you have some sturdy steel toe boots, gloves, and watch out for critters.

    Service is horrible, they can't overcharge just because they think it's more of logs than woodchips…read moreor etc bad place I would not recommend.

He placed the order online and then called to confirm the time that I would be at work on Friday for the delivery. My flowers were delivered at 12pm on Saturday - a day after my birthday and on a day that I am not at work. After calling 5 times across multiple days and having all the employees give me the runaround about a manager or owner calling me back, I finally received a phone call from the owner who is a complete jerk and chauvinistic pig. Instead of apologizing and backing his guarantee via his website, his exact words were, "just be happy you got flowers" and "Baby, you're just one of my million customers". If you actually want flowers delivered on the day you ordered...spend your hard earned money elsewhere. The owner does not take responsibility for mistakes and does not care about customer satisfaction. There are WAY too many florists out there who will guarantee a quality product with great customer service. Please support me in not supporting such a lousy business. I've already filed a complaint via the Better Business Bureau and hope to spread the word further.
