But this year I was very disappointed. Bought 2 large hanging plants (about 3:30 on a Saturday) and 2 days later on Monday the flowers were wilted and shriveled. I brought it back to Gade around 2pm Monday that's less than 48hrs. The staff was very pleasant and took the time to look at it. But the explanation given was I must have let it dry out and to remove the dead flowers and it would bounce back. I don't know how that's possible as it was well water when I brought it home and the it rained the entirety of the next day. I had bought 2 baskets of the same flowers and the other was perfectly fine. Just very disappointing because my daughter's prom is in 4 days and I had bought these for the pictures. Now I need to go to another garden center tomorrow for a replacement.

DO NOT do business with Black Creek Nursery in Altamont, NY.

I had in NO way indicated that I was looking to get anything for free. The problem centered around a complete lack of information being given to the customer. This employee continued to yell at me over the phone and then asked me if I went to Stewart's for milk did I walk out the door without paying for it. I can't imagine that this company treats all of it's customers with such rude and disrespectful behavior because they certainly would not still be in business if they did. DO NOT spend your hard earned dollars at a business that would treat their customers this way!

I asked one the kids working there, "I know we're not in Zone 10, but what Zone are we in?" He looked at me blankly as if I had asked him to solve a quadratic equation...Fortunately, another customer had overheard our conversation and said, "We're in Zone 5, those will be dead by October." We did get a few things, and after putting them in, realized we needed more, I told my wife, "We're going to Kulak's tomorrow." I had a question about mulching perennials as well as keeping weeding to a minimum, (we're creating a perennial garden out of an area where bushes grew for years) and were directed to Allison. She's a wealth of information, a little bit into our conversation, another customer stopped to listen. Allison asked, "Can I help you?", the customer said, "No, this is really interesting, please continue." She's also really funny and personable as well as informative. Everything they offer is quality. Again, you will pay for quality, but you will not be sorry to go there, IMHO...

When you pull in to park, you'll see that certainly isn't the case. Everything here is well organized and presented very beautifully. The prices are very reasonable in general. Everyone working there took the time to greet me as they passed by me. I was so successful that I had my wagon filled before I had visited the entire nursery. I guess that means I have return a few more times, right?

Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

I wish their parking lot had more appeal though, it's badly in need of re-paving. Once you're actually inside, you'll find there's a lot more to check out than you can see from Western Avenue as well. Visiting at the end of the season is a bit of a 2-edged sword. They're out of a lot of things right now as they stock up for fall and Christmas promotions. But at the same time, you can get some really good deals on close-out items, as I did this time. This store is well staffed and everyone there was friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to coming back here as their seasonal inventories change.
