The best kept secret of the Century…read more It's Nov 12, 2016 and they just finished their 50% off end of the season sale at the designated plant outlet which is set up in the parking lot of Lancaster Farms at the intersection of Bridge Rd and Knotts Neck Rd (across from Shoulder's Hill) in Suffolk. They offered up great variety and spectacular deals. I did both my flower beds which had been completely stripped down (needed about 13 foundation plants). I purchased gardenias, abelia kaleidoscope plants, hawthorns, butterfly bush, burning bush, golden mop, several varieties of lorapetalum including purple diamond semi dwarf and the larger ruby, not to mention the 35+ pansies/violas (1.50 after 1/2 off) - all for less than $220. Are you kidding me? Please, don't change, end of the season blowout! Ever!!! If you missed it this year, pay attention next year - second week of November or so. Stalk them, if you have to...you won't regret it. I need to talk about customer service. I felt welcomed and not just tolerated like some places. Genuinely welcomed. Diane helped me 2 days in a row. I consider myself below novice. Novice negative. I had a few ideas after months of researching. I wanted certain color contrasts that would remain during Winter's gloom, certain textures, specific plants. I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere else. I also had some gaps I hadn't quite worked out yet. Diane really pulled it together for me. And there was also a gentleman who was so kind and helpful. I wish I could remember his name. I want to say Larry. Amazing staff. Can't beat the feel goods here. I discovered Diane is my neighbor. She did a drive by on her way home to check out my design and give me added boosts of confidence and suggestions in a truly neighborly fashion. Wow! Thank you. Let me tell you a little bit about the background: Lancaster Farms has been around since 1964. It's not a direct-to-customer model. They are a major distributor of top grade plants and trees to commercial, professional and retailers locally as well as Nationally. Their motto is 'If we don't grow it, we don't sell it'. (And, let me tell you their plants are healthy! Not like some places where you get 50% off because it's infested with some kind of rot or nearly dead.) Typically, you can't access a nursery of this magnitude as a consumer but they now offer the plant outlet at varying times of the year and you can order other items such as certain pre-selected types of trees online and pick them up at this location. Yes. Please. And Thank You. Amen. 10 star

DO NOT SHOP HERE! I spent over $1000 on trees and shrubs last November. One of the trees (a dwarf…read moremagnolia cost $160) did not do well 6 months later. The others did (all were in the same bed). Brought the sickly tree back for a replacement and they said tough luck!!! They do NOT stand behind their products. They offer NO gaurentee. Staff was rude. Buyer beware. I will never go back. Don't say you weren't warned. If you don't care if your investment dies and are made of money then go ahead. But every other nursery tries to compensate in some way for losses of their product. They offered nada. Nothing. Zip. Said I'm sh$t out of luck!

A 5 star experience for a recent Mother's Day arrangement of flowers…read more There is no day like Mother's Day and making it special for Mom. So the idea of a permanent planted arrangement seemed like something perfect for the patio. McDonald's was contacted over the phone a week + out before Mother's Day. I worked with Patrice who emailed different ideas they could do from pots to plants etc. He was so passionate about his trade and left me even more excited that he alone would be the point. Ultimately hydrangeas was chosen as the plant with sweet potatoes. They had many pots to choose from, but a more neutral with a butterfly seemed perfect. The cost was $97. Patrice assured that the plant would be watered and ready for pick up days before Mother's Day. On Saturday I went to McDonald's and after locating Patrice he rolled the plant out. I must say I was overwhelmed with the size. It was huge and gorgeous! Patrice did a video of care instructions as he took ownership of seeing everything through. He also at no charge through in a ceramic tray to hep with transport, but also for any leakage of water with a weep hole at the bottom. The delivery was marvelous and enjoyed by Mom. I cannot say enough positive about this experience. Other staff assisted me and were helpful and enthusiastic about their job. You just don't see this in other big box places ole Lowes and Home Depot. McDonald's is a one stop locally owned since 1947 garden center. They can do it all and the visit is impressive to see the selections. Highly recommend.

I ordered the Premium "This Magic Moment" Sympathy Bouquet online for my best friend who had just…read morelost her brother. The online picture showed an arrangement of all roses, which is precisely what I paid $95 plus a $20 delivery fee for. When my friend received the bouquet and sent me a photo, it looked nothing like what I had ordered. The arrangement included daisies instead of being composed entirely of roses. When I called the store to address this, Tim, the owner, immediately became defensive. Instead of listening to my concern, he dismissed it, insisting there were 12 roses in the arrangement and telling me to have the recipient count them. I explained again that what I ordered was an all-rose bouquet, not a mixed one. His response was to cite the small disclaimer on the website about substitutions. While I understand substitutions may occur, it is not acceptable to charge a premium price for a whole rose arrangement and then substitute with daisies. What I found most troubling, however, was Tim's attitude. Rather than taking responsibility or even offering to make it right, he repeatedly defended himself, referenced his 88 years in business, and ultimately told me not to use his shop again. For an owner to respond that way to customer feedback, especially in such a sensitive situation, is unprofessional and deeply disappointing. I will never use this florist again, and I strongly caution others: unless you are willing to pay a premium price for roses and end up with daisies, take your business elsewhere. The flowers were not what I ordered, and the dismissive, argumentative customer service from Tim, the owner, was even worse.
