Customer service is severely lacking…read more When I finally found a staff member, I asked about finding a vegetable plant I wanted. She had no idea and called for back up. The other staff member came over so that the three of us where all about 5 feet apart. The original staff member explained that I was looking for a plant and the new staff member did not acknowledge me and told the other staff member that the plants were sold out and "she should've planted those plants in the ground already; they won't even take now" in a scolding tone (yes, she was aware it was me looking to buy). She was offensive, she wouldn't look at me or speak to me - the paying customer, and I stood there mouth agape. She didn't care or notice because she never looked at me, of course, and just walked off. After a moment of processing the intense dismissive snobbery, I walked away from the rest of my cart and left. (Please note: I work two jobs and managed to buy the plant elsewhere and had a wonderful harvest despite the timing not being ideal. - Also, I heard later that the rude staff member was related to the owners, but cannot verify). Another time before the one above, I had gone to grab some plants and asked the staff member at checkout about a specific type of bush. She had no idea and wanted to radio in to someone else working that section. It was taking him a bit to respond, so while waiting, I said, "no worries, I'll come back another time, I don't have the time now." She ignored me and kept radio-ing, I said, "really, now is not good. No need to call him." And she continued to ignore me and call on the radio - while not ringing me up. In the end I said, "you know what, I don't need any of these items" and she finally faced me saying "Oh, are you sure? Ok. Have a great day." Just - what?!?! Most staff do not know about the plants or care, they just work there, so a heads up if you're looking for that highly knowledgable service. Driving in/out and parking is a nightmare unless it is empty. Scratching your car to fit two cars on the road is almost inevitable. The energy here is all weird. They are always frantic on the radios as if they are all always annoyed at each other or annoyed to have to do their job, the majority of staff members I have met don't respect their customers (they seem to avoid them), and it is a very cramped shopping experience. While yes, this place is overpriced, I'm happy to pay a little extra for a local business and not a big box store. That said, this isn't a little extra and they don't treat their customers well at all. We all arrive at garden centers smiling and excited for the warmer weather, it is odd to have such poor treatment when the buy in is there from the start. That points to leadership, but who knows. No longer a place I frequent or recommend, but still might go in a pinch with very low expectations.

I highly recommend the Madison Flower Shop I have been a patron of since moving to Guilford in the…read morelate 2000's; and from their plantings in our backyard hill to purchasing an antique bench and buying spring & fall flowers to hang, the quality of their products is beyond measure. An example is ordering a 'simple' condolence arrangement for the family of my next door neighbor who was one of the longest & oldest in our condo complex. He was a fine Irishman & the owner of this business made certain the flowers showed my respect to him. It's a beautiful way to send one's feelings and it was done beyond my expectations as U can see. Gratefully . Ms. Lonnie Scheinblum Guilford

He never showed up, no phone call, no email. I made another appt. Same result. Made 3rd appt---I try to use companies in the town. Finally got to meet. He promised to get back to me. That happened a month later, after he misplaced the plan. Met at house, he discussed and I okayed plan. Said it could be done by end of June. I still wasn't living in the house. Workers finally got here in Sept. In Nov, I called and left 3 messages, emailed twice and wrote a letter, asking for someone to come and tell me how to winterize plants. Havent heard from anyone yet. I would never recommend this company.

I purchased a bare root Copper Beach tree from this company in June. The website said that they…read moreonly shipped between November and April and that orders placed May-October would ship in November. Being bare root stock, this made perfect sense. So I was surprised when this tree showed up bare root and fully leafed out during the heat of July. It sat in the sun in an non-ventilated brown cardboard box in my driveway after being delivered and was somewhat wilted when I opened it. I could literally feel the heat escaping from the box when I opened it also. I planted and checked on/watered this tree every day but it only got worse. I reached out two weeks after it was already planted to let the seller know and his only advice was to add mulch and only water it every two weeks. I reached out again yesterday to let him know it was dead and all he could offer me was criticism for not mulching it sooner and told me I killed it. This is not true- it was fully cooked and dead on arrival. A simple Google search will reveal what everyone already knows- that you only ship bare root during periods of dormancy! When questioned, the seller even went as far as to give me the name of another vendor he claimed shipped bare root trees during the Summer. I called that vendor and was told that not only did they never ship bare root stock during the summer but that they hadn't sold bare root stock at all for over three years! Save yourself some money and frustration- buy your trees from someone else.
