Wow, they were bursting with so many gorgeous mums, asters, sunflowers, grasses, and many beautiful annuals for $6 , and some for as low as $3.99, that I could not resist!! I loaded up my car. Service was excellent, both staffers were so knowledgeable and helped me select the best plants and soil to use to give my gardens some attention this autumn!!! Nick carried everything to my car, thank you!! Great deals right now, so reasonably priced!! Go go go!! Now!! But all their plants and shrubs and soil!! I love the mission here.

We are avid gardeners and are blessed to have a wide selection back home. Pickings here seemed slim. We asked around for a nursery to meet our needs and Gethsemane was the one nursery that my daughter's friends recommended. WOW - especially considering that it's a "city" garden center, AND it's the fall which is hardly high landscaping season. You had an extremely wide selection that was conveniently arranged to make the best use of our time. Prices to me are fair considering the quality of the plants and service. We visited on Friday to do recognizance and make a preliminary stack of possibles as we're only in town for a few days. We had spent two days demolishing the mangled sad mess left by the previous owners and were ready to get to work. On Saturday morning we took our daughter to review our choices, and she threw us a few curve balls, but the staff was prepared. We worked with Jennifer and Richie in trees and shrubs who allowed us to quickly eliminate things that would not work in their very shaded yard. Miriam in perennials was particularly helpful in that my daughter has some very specific likes and dislikes (Those ALL look like WEEDS to me says she!!) Miriam was patient and kind in helping sort through all of the available Hostas to color coordinate several varieties. Advice on mulch and watering were administered at check out and our precious green matter was delivered at the agreed upon time a few hours later. We dug, we sorted rock, we cut old roots that we only found when we dug and after about 6 hours it was done and we couldn't be more pleased. You were all very helpful and provided exactly the service in the compressed timeframe that was required. The Yews, Hostas, Azaleas and Lavendar all appear to be very healthy and we can't wait to watch them grow. Thank you for your service today.

Note #2 to self: Suck up the two hour round trip journey and darn near half-tank of gas used because holy moly, what a great nursery this was. I literally wandered around for close to three hours, and only deemed myself done because there was no more room on my cart for plants. Major score of $5 rosebushes from last year that lost their name tags. Baby perennials for $2.99 each. Lovely flowering shrub for $24.99 that was so large I could barely fit it into my car. Large pots of Gerbera daisies and premium annuals for... are you ready... $3.89. These easily go for $4.99 and higher at other nurseries. And a buck more might not seem like a lot until you realize you've got 20+ at check-out. Darn near half-tank of gas - covered. The employees were very friendly and helpful, too. Major points to the young guy who carried everything to my car and then gingerly fit everything into my trunk, back seat, and passenger seat. It wasn't easy, but he never stopped smiling.

I asked the guy standing by the register for one and he walked me over to them. The heavy duty one? he asked. No, I said, the light-duty version. He took it from the hanger and held it out toward me. Then I saw the price hanging right there in front of us both. SIX DOLLARS AND, LIKE, NINTY-SEVEN CENTS! For ONE?! (Disregard the website price, totally. In-store it's $6.97!) Wait, WHAT?! I told him there was NO WAY I would pay that much! and I left. I drove directly to a Home Depot. I bought TWO of them for $2.97 EACH! Even after taxes, I paid less for two than they wanted for just one and that's BEFORE taxes! On the drive back home, I promised myself I would NOT be installing one of those new switches until I first posted this review. Promise made, promise kept! Time to install my $2.97 switch now!
