While the shop items are cute and kitschy, they are extremely overpriced, and the Christmas tree prices have skyrocketed over the years as well. On my most recent visit, many of the plants looked neglected, with dead leaves everywhere. After finally finding one plant I liked, I had an unpleasant interaction with the cashier when I asked about a military discount and requested tissue to cover the muddy pot. Her responses were abrupt and rude, leaving me upset enough to cry afterward. The only bright spot was a kind teenage employee who helped me figure out the bag to cover and carry the plant. Unfortunately, when I later spoke with the GM, my concerns were dismissed and the cashier's behavior was excused. Goodbye, Platt Hill. I have purchased overpriced, dead plants for the last time. read more

I love Platt Hill Nursery! I love their gift selection. I always stop in for a quick gift or flowers on my way to functions. It seems they can get whatever plant I'm looking for for outside or inside and I appreciate all of the knowledge and help that they offer. Most importantly I love that it's family owned. Good people. read more

Great place to shop! Always have what you are looking for. A little pricey but great quality.

I came here for organic flowers, they don't sell them. BUT the place is gorgeous, beautiful displays and all the employees were really friendly and nice. Lots to see. Everything was reasonably priced. read more

This place is extremely overpriced and I seriously mean Extremely!!!. I would avoid them at all costs unless your 1 of the elite ones and shit $100 bills all day long. Avoid their concrete fountains also. I was dumb enough to buy 2 a few years ago. Both leak from day 1 and the round led light goes out within 6 months sometimes sooner and guess what??? They don't care your on your own. read more

I called to ask them about their return policy for a couple or bushes that died. With out a receipt but have credit card data and picture of bushes they said I'd get 50 percent credit. I drive 20 minutes to get there only to be told that because I am not a rewards member that there was nothing they could do. They remember my call but sorry Charlie. Guess where I will never ship again? read more

This isn't my usual plant nursery, but I decided to stop by and check out their tree selection and I'm so glad I did! Carlos went above and beyond with his tree knowledge and patience, helping me find the perfect gift for my grandpa this Father's Day. We left with the perfect tree and a great experience. Thank you, Carlos! I'll definitely be back because of you. read more

Stopped in to grab our Christmas tree for a second year in a row. Lots of different tree options available. An incredibly helpful staff who prepped, netted, loaded, and tied down our tree on our Jeep. Will continue to go back every holiday season. read more

Great local nursery. This place had everything you need for landscaping, decorating outside and inside your home. Plenty of Covid-19 markings and reminders to wear your masks and keep 6' apart. Look for employees wearing yellow polo shirts. They are very kind and helpful. We came for: Bulk mulch. Great prices. Flower bed edge stones. Limestone for layering underneath the pacer stones. We are having the mulch delivered for a small delivery fee. Finally time to up the curb appeal. Father and son time, commence. Mama is going to be very happy when this is done. read more

Sometimes the items are great but at other times the plants die quickly. This nursery is very expensive and you might do better elsewhere.

We bought a few shrubs/plants from Platthill Nursery last fall, a few of the shrubs did not make through the winter so I called them and I was told with a receipt or if we used our reward we can get 50% store credit, as we did not save the receipt we ended up going to the store hoping we used the rewards number or we could work something out. We spoke to a manager who said without a receipt she cannot do anything but if we can provide the proof of purchase with the amount and date of purchase she can look it up, so I looked my credit card statement and showed her the transaction She did find the transaction and could see we bought the shrubs but the tags I was carrying did not match the description of the items purchased and she refused to issue any credit, we could clearly see that we bought the shrubs but she refused to work with us or help us stating the items do not match when the tags clearly identify the shrubs were purchased at Platthill but kept saying we do not have proof of purchase, we left disappointed without a proper resolution, if the store had issued the credit and worked with us we probably would have used all the credit and purchased more but we did not feel like giving more business to Platthill considering our experience. Even if we had the receipt it probably would have the said the same thing and the items would not have matched so who ever scanned, incorrectly picked the wrong item. I just warn to anyone making a big purchase to make sure you save the receipt and also make sure the right item was scanned if not you might run into the same issue, we are not going back to Platthiill gain after our experience read more

I've been gardening for 50 years over 7 properties. I have been SUPER HAPPY with everything I've purchased from Platt Hill. Prices are reasonable and when on sale...they're even better. BUT the plants have always thrived and the help at the nursery is very professional. My "go to" nursery from now on... read more

My go-to nursery. Platt Hill always has the best selection of indoor plants, shrubs, perennials, and annuals. They may not be cheap but their variety is fantastic. Occasionally you can find a great deal. They ordered a huge supply of thai constellation monsteras for me by request and I couldn't be happier. I had to wait a while but they are very great quality. I planted 8 proven winner hydrangeas from them and they are all thriving. read more

Omg..what a great nursery. Huge selection of plants. Good prices. Everything looks great!

Platt Hill Nursery is top notch!!! There is a lot to see. It is very organizer and the employees are knowledgeable and friendly. They have a touch of nearly everything for your outside and inside plant needs. Flowers, shrubs, plants, trees, planted indoor plants, decorative garden stones, plant food of any kind, soil, fertilizers, weed control, candles, unusual gift choices, tools, shepherds hooks, pots of any size and make, the list goes on. You might be a bit overwhelmed by seeing it all. It's quality, too. read more

You have just lost a loyal customer. Last year in may 2023 I took both my boys to buy a Japanese maple for Mother's Day. My youngest was fighting brain cancer, a battle that he lost recently. This year since the maple was not blooming I called and asked what to do. Since the Japanese maple we purchased last year is 5 days past the year mark we were advised that we couldn't get a refund or store credit and we were supposed to know we had to come back in April if it did not have any leaves. Too bad we were not advised when it was purchased. So now, we will go to another place to get our plants and trees. While we understand that rules are there for a reason it is surprising that the store is not even willing to offer a small discount to recognize e loyal client. read more

We purchased several large Birch trees from Platt Hill nursery hearing that they were reputable with excellent healthy products. As these trees were going to be a focal point in our front yard, we selected large trees that could fill in quickly. We also had Platt Hill experts install these trees to ensure healthy growth for years! we were told 2 of the larger Birch trees already lost their leafs BUT THEY WERE FINE AND STILL HEALTHY! We spent over $2,000 with Platt Hill on our trees. Well, I've contacted Platt Hill probably 6-7 that 2 of the largest trees are dying. It seems their leaves fell off early at Platt Hill Nursery because the trees were dying. I don't know why. We were ensured that these trees were excellent! After 18 months of contacting Platt Hill on our dead trees THEY planted and explaining over & over the dying trees plus sending loads of photos. I was given zero response! This is $2000 lost in our front yard. I should've burned the cash. The Platt Hill landscaper told me several times he forwarded this information to the owners but there was still no response. We own 1 acre local property which we are hiring landscapers, designers , a lot of new product everywhere! I will never buy another item from Platt Hill nor will I believe anything they say. Buyers be ware! Jill Mizen read more

Platt Hill has quality nursery, garden, and landscaping items. From houseplants to outdoor fountains/furnishings, and everything in between. The quality of the products is top-notch therefore as a result, PHN has a higher price point in comparison to other nurseries in the area. There is no question that PHN has mastered both quantity and quality. Don't hesitate to stop in and explore the "plantiful" bounty this place has to offer. :) https://www.platthillnursery.com/ read more

Love this place. Bought trees from here as well as bushes. Staff is very friendly. Tons of garden knick knacks read more

This nursery, greenhouse and garden center pretty much has it all. The greenhouses are usually stuffed with houseplants, perennials, herbs, blooming plants and more. They have a ton of knick-knacks like fairy garden items and household ornaments and a ton of things for garden birding. Only complaint? Platt Hill pricing is high. I guess we're paying for the great location and the customer service. read more

The store is good but I hired Platt Hill to plant shrubs and perennials in my backyard and front yard. The first year everything looked okay but then as years went on I realized I did not get the shrubs I wanted and the plants did not last over 1 year. Very disappointed with them after I spent alot of money on the plants and shrubs. I had them plant DWARF arctic blue willow shrub that was suppose to be DWARF size. Well one of the shrubs is doing okay but the other shrub is NOT DWARF size. The limbs on the shrub are over 1 inch in diameter and very hard for me to trim. The other shrub is actually a DWARF with billowy thin branches that sway with the wind. Now I have to find someone to remove the one that has large limbs. The lillies they plants died within 1 year, the amber jubilee looks straggly. I would not use them for landscaping. read more

I'm not sure why people have been giving Platt so much flack! Could be the premium pricing that turns people away. I was also a bit intimidated but after visiting several other nurseries around the area, I understood why they charge what they do. There's no comparison with how Platt sustains it's plants versus other smaller, after-thought nurseries you'll find at Walmart or Home Depot. Incidentally, The variety is impeccable- no matter what your floral need is read more

As much as I love this place, I have to say how disappointing it is to be a Rewards member. My husband spent a couple hundred dollars on a Christmas gift for me and in the mail we get for $10 reward for being a valued frequent shopper. It was dated December 17th and it gave me 60 days to use it. Really they're going to limit the amount of time that you have to spend it. Anyone knows this is basically a seasonal business and they are not hurting in any way but they can't even just give you a $10 reward and let you spend it when you want. I mean the person who hangs on to it to turn it in should be able to use it whenever. It's bad enough in the summer you get it after you're done buying everything for the season and they give you a 60 days to use it but you usually can find a reason to use it. Come on Platt Hill show your customers that you really value their business read more

Platt hill nursery is adorable. It has lots of different plants indoor and outdoor. They even have a little kitty that sits at the register. It's great for grabbing a gift for your mom bc it has lots of cute decor inside. I can't wait to see the Christmas decor for the holiday season! read more

Platt Hill Nursery is great. Very knowledgeable employees and the selection is great for plants and trees. Highly recommend this nursery.

I've been here a couple of times. Every time I've gotten the same rude service. I've never been greeted by any of the employees, not even a smile! All they do is turn around or look at the ground. read more

I've been here twice and have had great experiences both times. I'm a new "plant mom" and I've gotten all my plants here. Other reviews have mentioned they are pricy - that is true. However, I haven't been to another nursery before, so I'm not sure how their prices compare to others. Besides plants, they have a ton of cute decorations and knick-knack type of things inside. This will be my go-to plant place for now! read more

This is an amazing nursery. I recommend it to everyone I know. Every time I go, everyone is super friendly and helpful. Not only are the plants beautiful but their stores gift selection is amazing.

I am beyond impressed with the selection, quality, and pricing at this nursery. However, the most significant thing is the friendliness and expertise of all of the staff. I have visited several times and also had a delivery. Every single time I interacted with any of the staff, they were eager to assist and answered all my questions. They are so knowledgable and also helped me greatly with some questions I had on different plants. Customer for life here! I could not be happier. read more

Unprecedented customer service. The ladies in the back were super helpful. I get my wreaths every year from platt hill and this year I was late getting there and the wreaths I typically purchase were not on display. I asked if they could make some for me... and they bent over backwards to pick out the perfect plain Frasier fir wreaths, they added the juniper berries and custom made the bows all while I waited. They only charged a couple dollars for the junipers because they didn't use the whole bunch. They didn't even charge me for making the wreaths. Thank you so much for helping me make the Perfect wreaths!! You have a customer for life. read more
