Im so addicted. They have an area now that has chickens and pigs and medicinal plants growing. It's just a whole experience to go.

Generally speaking, I love Pat's Nursery. The staff always greets me immediately, is extremely…read moreprofessional and asks how they can assist. That being said, based upon our recent experience, I don't recommend their landscaping services. It's possible that the problem is the employee that came to our house to review what we wanted in order to give us a quote. Chuck was grumpy. My husband initiated the follow up call so we could discuss the proposal and we set up a time to meet. Our appointment was today and he wasn't there, but we did get a copy of his suggestions. We won't waste our time with a merchant that doesn't take the initiative to garner our business. Overall, Pat's Nursery is great. The landscaping experience was abysmal. We will move forward and get a quote from another vendor.

Simple, rather unassuming place, the Mulch Outlet Store sells mulch they've manufactured…read morethemselves. There are only two locations - here and in Ohio. They offer many varieties of mulch and sell either bagged or bulk. (We were told that eventually they will be selling dirt as well.) We chose their Weed 'n Feed mulch in a red color and are very pleased with the results. The bags are a bit more expensive than in traditional stores but the bags are larger and the quality is a lot higher. My husband was thrilled with the quality. When we mulched our tiny front yard 2 years ago, it took almost 14 bags of other brand, this time it only took 7. (We bought a total of 10 bags, and have reserved 3 for settling.) Out of those 7 bags opened and scattered, it was all quality mulch, no garbage found. The two gentlemen we met there (one was the owner I believe) were very pleasant and quite helpful. They knew how much our car could hold and assisted my husband in loading up the bags. They are located on the northern part of Lane Avenue, a few blocks north of Commonwealth Avenue over some really crappy railroad tracks. (Slow down when you go over those things.) But it's really worth it for the quality you get.

My husband and I learned about Nicholas Zimmer's nursery a couple of months ago when we went to his…read morebooth at the Vagabond Flea Market on a Saturday. We bought three tomato plant variants, one Rutgers indeterminate and two determinate tomato plants. We had also bought three tomato plants from Lowe's just to compare. One of the Lowe's tomato plants died within weeks but all three of Nick's tomato plants are producing a wealth of heathy and delicious tomatoes. The two determinate plants are close to the end of their life but the Rutgers is flourishing and producing an amazing amount of tomatoes. We also purchased some petunias that have done wonderful on our back deck. Today, we stopped by his booth outside of southern roots on King street and purchased some jasmine, coffee okra, lantana, coffee plants, and some other flowers to bring some more color to the backyard and I am excited to see how well they do. Each plant had excellent root structure! I highly recommend buying plants from Nick because he is very knowledgeable on what he grows. I believe he has a degree in horticulture and you are able to tell it by all the information he is able to provide you when you stop by his booth. If you like his Facebook page you are able to find out where he is setting up throughout the week.

I and several family members have been customers for 26 years. Ms. Georgia did my wedding in 1990…read moreand it couldn't have been more beautiful. She was an amazing woman and gifted floral designer. Ms. Pat did my son's wedding just this year and we were thrilled with the beautiful flowers she provided. Last week, however, I had a very different experience with Scott. My mom ordered fall flowers to be placed at my father's grave. She asked for gold's, burgundies and other fall colors with mums and those types of fall flowers. Incredibly, what we received was a ugly arrangement of red roses and blue flowers. This exact problem happened last year as well, which is why mom was so specific. When I called to let them know that we wanted the flowers replaced, Scott just didn't care. He wasn't rude, but he simply did not care that the flowers weren't right, that we weren't pleased, and said to me "I did the best I could to pick out the most fall looking arrangement we had." He offered to refund our money (yes, please) and then had the audacity to tell me that since we weren't pleased with what they had sent if we wanted to order any more flowers from them we would have to come in and pick them out at the shop because they wouldn't send any more out. I was speechless. To say that I was astonished at such a response would be an understatement. 26 years of being a loyal customer and this is his response. He never spoke any word of apology about the horrible flowers he sent that were nothing like we ordered. Honestly, it made my heart sick. I can't believe that any business owner would be so apathetic to the needs of their customers, particularly one they've had for 26 years. I'm also a little surprised at how sad I feel about the whole situation. Regardless, I won't be back. There are plenty of florists who do value their customers and I'm sure we can find one.
