I love this store. Their indoor plant selection is the best in town. They are slightly more higher end but I can assure you that you will get what you pay for. The staff at this location are very knowledgeable, helpful and kind. They always greet you as if they know you when you walk in. Their outdoor plant selection is wonderful too and have way more to choose from then the larger stores in the area. I highly recommend. read more

Stopped in here a few weeks back to check out their indoor plants. Now I know that its winter time and I wasnt expecting too much of a variety of plants. I remember going through the store and seeing a huge display of snake plants and not much of anything else. I plan on coming back in the spring/summer to check out the plants again. read more

​ the service was excellent at the straders in Galloway on West Broad the manager assisted me and he truly truly helped me find the Christmas tree that I could really afford I am so grateful to him and for his help if not for him I would not have a Christmas tree this year his name is Darius thank you read more

Went because it was nearby, though I was hesitant due to the reviews. They are accurate... Service was mixed- one guy didn't know the answer, so he directed me to someone else who did, but was surly. Selection was sparse (for an early season plant, which should have been plentiful.) Parking lot torn up, not having what I need, less than average service- won't be back. read more

This place has improved tremendously over the last few years. I grew up near here, and I recall coming in occasionally when it was on the way. Between the Lowe's and Home Depot nearby, we usually never needed an outdoor item that couldn't be picked up at a big box store. We got our garden plants at a local mom & pop shop in another town near my Grandma's house. Now, Grandma has passed and I was looking for a place to find a nice variety of heirloom plants - not just the Burpee or Bonnie hybrids you can find anywhere. I have been in on the last two weekends and purchased both perennials and garden vegetables. They have an awesome variety of perennials, including native and local plants like milkweed and purple coneflower. I liked that they had different sizes too - you could get a big 10oz plant, or smaller 2-5 oz plants depending on planting location and price point. I was happy to see several kinds of heirloom tomatoes, as well as tons of herbs (like 8+ kinds of mint!), greens, and cruciferous veggies. They seem to have a large variety of trees and shrubs, as well as row upon row of annuals. Many of the tags state that the plants were grown in their greenhouse in Grove City, so at least they aren't coming from the other site of the country. One thing that seems to be WAY more expensive here is their garden soil and potting soil. Pots and planters seem competitively priced, and they have a lot of nice garden decor and bird feeders. The indoor plants are a mixed bag - smaller plants are pretty affordable. The variety and selection here is comparable to their locations in more expensive parts of town. I'm happy to know that I have an option to support a local business on the west side without going way overboard on price or driving too far. If you haven't been in a while and live nearby, come check it out! You may be pleasantly surprised by what you find. read more

this is my favorite place to go to for any type of house plant or flower! they have such knowledgeable employees who can help you with whatever project you're working on! my favorite thing about strader's is their mini house plants and succulents! all around $4 or under, people who don't have a green thumb like me can enjoy plants for many months to come without the hard work! they also have specials on flowers! i enjoy looking at their colorful pots in all different sizes, and their greenhouse outside is just beautiful this time of year. would definitely recommend for all of your gardening needs, shop local! read more

I can think of several reasons why you should not shop here but I'll just give you one: The people that work here are miserable and it comes straight from the attitude of the manager. The old saying misery loves company is present here, and they want you to leave miserable too. I purchased several plants and pots from here weeks ago, both people that helped me had terrible attitudes but I thought maybe they were having a bad day. I went home, planted my herbs and waited two weeks before feeding them (instructions that came from a Straders employee). The next day I woke to find my herbs dead. So I took them back to Straders, not knowing whether or not they would exchange them, but thought it was worth a try. I learned that they "DO NOT GUARANTEE" their plants, that's fine. What isn't cool with me is the attitude from the staff and manager the moment I walked through the door with my big bag of dead plants. Rather than trying to discuss what may have gone wrong, or saying "sorry, no guarantees" with a smile, the manager said that they "Don't guarantee plants and that I should leave." So I walked out, threw my bag of dead plants in the trash and drove to Lowes Garden Center, where I was greeted with a smile and a "How are you today?" I picked a Sweet Basil plant and found "1 year Guarantee" printed on the tag. Lowes, the neighborhood garden center I can live with. read more

Went in to purchase an Aloe plant for my son and who wanted it for his dorm room. First, I was the ONLY customer in the store. Second, asked where Aloe plants were, was told he didn't know and to ask the guy working the register. He did know. Third, asked what kind of soil to use, neither knew so had to ask store manager, whom said Cactus. I proceeded to ask where it was? Was told, "outside next to the Miracle Grow". Like I knew where the miracle grow was. After looking for a good 5 minutes, found it and it was NOT priced! Am I suppose to guess? I walked back in to the main store area, explained that the price was not marked and that I was tired of asking questions rather than being shown what I needed. All 3 employees were on their phones. I expressed that if they did not want to work, they should close up and go home since they had just wasted 30 minutes of my time. Btw.... The aloe plants were dying and the only nice one they had, was "NOT FOR SALE!" Yes, in large print. I was not trying to be dramatic. I used to love this store but for the past 2 years (Pre-Covid), it has gone downhill and will not be returning. Sorry Straders, you lost the one customer you had in the store today! read more

Straters sold me the worst mums ever!! When I showed manager pics, he tried to say that was normal after a rain. I buy these every Fall, not normal! Poor customer service, offered no discount or exchange. read more

I love this place. It is nice to go to a smaller local business instead of handing my cash to that nutter that runs the Home Depot conglomerate. These folks know what they are doing, have an above average selection, prices are much more reasonable than Oakland, and the staff are super pleasant. Plus, it is close! read more

Recently stopped in to buy some flowers. I was able to find what I was looking for however no one ever asked me if I needed help finding anything. Prices were somewhat reasonable. I love the one on riverside dr but recently moved and this one is much closer for me now. read more

Friendly and helpful staff, healthy plants and great prices! I love the new products too.
