Went here looking for some vegetable plants and soil for a raised garden. While they didn't have…read moreall of the vegetable plants, they were very helpful with the soil. Tim helped us out. He's super friendly and was great to talk to. Got us some of their garden mix, 1 yard worth. He gave us some large plastic pots for us to haul the soil in our vehicle. Offered delivery but I figured for the amount of soil, I could handle it. The other employees were nice and friendly as well. They have a great place for tress and shrubs. It all seems organized and well kept. I'll definitely return based on the overall appearance of everything they had and the excellent staff they have.

They will do landscape design which will cost about $500. That money will be given back as a gift…read morecard. Sounds like an OK deal except that their designing is no designing. I had Nick over and the first thing he asked me was "What do you want to do." I told him some ideas I had and he said that is what he would do. He said he would put a tall plant here and some short ones there. Why would I agree to be locked into their high prices when I am obviously doing the designing myself? I sent him on his way because it was pointless to take advantage of the "design" service. I was very excited about getting some design help but now I am very disappointed.

I have enjoyed walking this Garden Center in Darboy for 3 seasons now. My focus is on the trees,…read moreTheir cultural habits and so, their health, is very fine. Shade trees sold well for them this year. The trees' relative placements caught my eye. When the Garden Center is in full bloom, both the displays, and knowledge of staff, of the annual & perennial selections are impressive. Good street side 'curb appeal' renovation of Garden Center. My sister, a lifelong resident here, says that Schmalz' is the only place in the Valley where the annuals still look good at the end of their season. If it's higher in price, you will still get what you pay for. Schmaltz also has a vigorous Landscaping business. I have only seen one site of theirs, but I have seen many of their trucks at the Garden Center! That site is The Houdini Plaza in downtown Appleton. Nice use of curves, as appears to be the case throughout Appleton. Interesting choices of trees. Good blocks of evergreens for the winter, and trees whose leaves are falling now for the summer. There are Sycamores! They take a long time to mature, and are not often planted. They are placed right next to the annual variegated Spider plants used quite effectively as a massed bedding plant.at this year. My critique? The same as what I heard at the other Garden Center I worked a this year. The price. And what do you get for it? Here, you get clean, you get variety, you get help. Perhaps on the down side is the emphasis on 'product', such as root simulator or fertilizer, by placing it right next to the Easy Elegance roses, which are supposedly known for not needing this much life support. Why not place garden hoses next to half of your stock instead, in order to suggestively sell? Just sayin'. Me, I have walked through this place many times this year, with coffee cup in hand. It has been such a pleasure.

Almost kept driving. So glad I turned around. There are so many things to look at. Lamps, wall decor, candles. I almost bought a candle and I have too many as it is. They have a whole aisle of clearance. There is a section with reading glasses, nice purses and other things. They have many house plants, real trees, outdoor plants, lawn tools, a pet aisle, Whew! I am getting tired! I think I was in the store 1 - 1/2 hours just looking at everything. I walked out with a wire butterfly sculpture for the wall, ladybugs sculpture for yard on clearance and frog sculpture on clearance and I do not even have a garden. You can always find an employee to help you. They are so helpful and friendly. Definitely will stop when I am in town again.

As a first time shopper, I asked about the return policy and was told it could be returned for in-store credit. The sleeves proved too short, so I tried to return the purchase today. Initially the cashier said there was a 10 day return policy on clothing and refused the return. I explained the information I had been given, but since it was seasonal, she would only make an exception to exchange it for the same clothing item. She referred me to the back of the price tag, which does explain the policy; but what I was verbally told was different. Well, a larger size doesn't have longer sleeves, but since I had no alternative, I made an exchange. I said that as a first time shopper, it didn't give me a good impression of the store. Nothing more was said. (BTW, the item is now on sale for 20% off vs my 10% discount. Bottom line, I thought this might become a store I would shop frequently, but now I will not return. I try to shop local, but with policies like this, it's no wonder larger stores are winning the retail race.
