I recently purchased some ornamental grasses from Gene's and was very impressed by the level of…read moreadvice I received and with their wide selection of plants. The two grasses I bought are just beautiful and Gene's regular price was much lower than I expected to pay for ones of their size. The man who helped me was very knowledgeable and courteous, and I just love the country "feel" of the place! A sweet black and white kitty was the first to greet me when I entered the store to look for help. Then, I noticed so many interesting things to look at and buy for the garden. I knew right then that I was going to have to come back again soon when I had time to just browse. Mostly, however, I was impressed by the quality of plant material surrounding the store. All the plants looked very healthy, and the prices were very reasonable. So, I drew a picture of my foundation landscaping for the man who helped me with the grass to discuss my ideas with him and see what he might suggest to solve a challenging aesthetic problem. In just a few minutes, he ended up showing me what I believe will be the perfect solution! In fact, I am going back today to buy those plants after discussing this approach with my husband. Bottom line, I shop for value first, but ambiance and service are just as important to me - and Gene's Evergreens seems to have it all. If you are as fussy as I am and if you love real country places, check out Gene's on Mountain Road. Update 11/14/12: One of the three evergreens I purchased did not make it after about a year, so I went back to see about replacing it. I did not have my receipt, but the owner offered to give me 50% credit toward another one like it. I thought this was amazing since it is likely that we did not plant it correctly and over-watered it, so it was not that the plant was unhealthy or anything.

We purchased 3 pallets of bluestone from Genes with the large pieces showing at the top of the…read morepallets. We spent over $1000. When the pallets were delivered and my husband started the project and opened up the pallets, what was inside the pallets was rubble, small, and some medium sized pieces. Not many large pieces - maybe 15 in all. When I called to speak to the owner he said he didn't know anything about what was in the pallets. He I saw the same thing he saw. My suggestion to him - let people know before purchasing. Put a sign up. We assume, as the owner of Genes, that he knows what he is selling to the buyer. Now we need to buy more bluestone, and I won't buy from him. I'll go buy from somewhere who deals in stone. I suggested he give us two pallets for free since most of our product was worthless and said - "I won't do that". Oh and lastly - one of the bigger pieces had already been cut around a 4x4 post.

We decided today (well, like an hour beforehand) that we wanted a fountain for our little pond. We know nothing about ponds. Told them so over the phone. They said if we were willing to drive over, they'll teach us some things. Who does that anymore? They had a selection that blew the place in Cockeysville away and at better prices. Sure, she said wait a minute whenever somebody pulled up to buy an Easter plant, but that's why they opened today and she told me so. They are old school, but honest and it all got done. We now have people stopping already to look at our fountain. If you need crap and stupid people, go to the big box stores. If you can spare a few minutes and have a personable experience go here. Life's a journey, relax.

We used this nursery not only for prices but for some very accommodating service. We ended up purchasing 30+ shrubs and trees (a good bit of money) and one of the plants died within two weeks of planting - it was the same as three others, all planted in the same place, same watering, and same sun exposure. We called to ask if we could have this one plant replaced as this clearly was a plant issue vs. a care issue (matter of fact all other plants are thriving) the manager Todd said he would not guarantee his plants, said this was a care issue, and then hung up on my wife.
