Nice enough place, plants are beautiful but extremely expensive and when you use your debit card they charge you an additional 3% fee to the total purchase. Not acceptable!!! Patrons beware read more

Wonderful Customer Service! I called and emailed several nurseries in the fall looking forward a specific house plant. No one had it but Zenith took my information and said they should have them in the spring. I never expected to hear from them again BUT they called. Let me know they had arrived, how big they were and the cost. When I went to pick them up I wondered the grounds and gift shop and they have a wonderful selection of indoor & outdoor plants, tools, accessories, and gift shop items. I left with a few more things than I intended. The staff is friendly and helpful and plants and pots were reasonably priced. read more

I asked a somewhat complicated gardening question on email and Mary from Zenith Holland Nursery took the time to give me a detailed, thoughtful answer. I wasn't even buying anything at the moment, but she still went above and beyond to answer my question. That kind of service really stands out -- I'll definitely be back to buy my plants here! read more

Super friendly staff, an incredible selection and variety of plants, and reasonable plants. This place could be dangerous if I was closer, but I'll absolutely work it into my rotation. It's far larger than it appears as you first come in, so plan ample time to explore read more

Very friendly staff who did not hesitate at all to answer my very simple questions. They guided me right to the sort of plant I was looking for and I found a great selection. I had never even heard of a ZZ Plant before but it looks fantastic and is very hearty and healthy! Overall it was a great experience and I will absolutely be back in the spring to fill my flowerbox! read more

We had a fantastic time here - spent probably way too much time and money, but it was an enjoyable break from the monotony of quarantine life. They have so much to look at!! We really appreciated how knowledgeable and helpful the staff was. We also came out with a bounty of new friends to take care of One minor gripe, they sold me a dead succulent, which I naively thought was just a pleasant yellow... my bad. I think it was just overlooked in checkout but my gf gives me for it. Oh well it was like $2. read more

Amazing selection of plants, a true pacific north west gem. Well worth my drive from Puyallup to find the right plants I was looking for

Great selection, friendly knowledgeable staff and fantastic prices. Start your nursery shopping here! I am helping a friend landscape their 5 acre lot. So we need a lot of plants, trees and shrubs. We have bought 3 truck and trailers worth over the last 2 weekends. We have visited just about every nursery in the Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Auburn, Federal Way area. Zenith Holland is now my favorite nursery I have found in South King County. Some other nursery's are bigger some have different plants that you will not find here, and you will want to buy some things from other nurseries like we did. BUT.... I would advise you to start here. I wish we would have gone here first, as now this is the last place we are going to, and will come back here first for more plants in a few weeks when they get more mid summer blooming perennials in. I have never seen Edelweiss for sale any where before how cool! Sorry we bought half of them but there might be some left. First they have a fantastic variety of Healthy Plants! Large for the pot but not root bound plants. The prices are either on par or lower than any of the other 9 places I have been to in the last few weeks. lots of plants were twice as big and 30% the cost of the other places we went. Most importantly great healthy plants! I was also told by the owner they are using organic fertilizers that will not be toxic to bees like most of the plants that nurseries get shipped in. Ask them to explain that. Its kind of important if you know about all the bee colony collapse that has been happening! Second the staff (Francine) & owner. Of all the places we went to, the people here were the most knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. That is saying a lot as most nurseries have nice people! Once again it was a pleasure to buy from here and can't wait to go back. read more

wow, wow, wow! living in south seattle and contemplating gardening options for plants or other items always used to make me think of swansons or locations further north! no longer! i was down in des moines with friends who's mentioned this place and i urged us to stop in. if you're a gardener or a wanna be gardener or someone who knows a gardener and wants to find gifts or buy plants for your own space, this place has it all and the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable! the first thing you'll notice are the two spotted dogs who come running as greeters! they were both adorable and not at all intimidating. i couldn't get over how much space this nursery occupies and how many items and varieties are found therein. from ground over to house plants to succulents to seasonal holidays wreaths and christmas trees, this place is stocked! and with some unusual items that ended up going home with me. staff answered all my questions, provided tips for plant maintenance and success and were all wearing masks. the plethora of beautiful pots in all shapes and sizes was amazing and they also have fertilizer and almost any other item you could think of. this is going to be my new place for my pants come spring time. sad thing is i have months to wait but i'll be plotting my plant purchases in the meantime :) read more

Ahhhh I love this nursery! I swear I could get lost here & I'll actually be ok! Haha I just came here to see what they have and just strolling around.. but left with more house plants to add to my jungle I have at home #guilty. I'll be back soon to get some dogwood trees to add to my property. read more

Amazing nursery!!!! Great house plant selection and LOTS of rare plants :) Staff was so nice and talked to me the whole time I was there (also everyone was wearing a mask and it wasn't crazy crowded like so many nurseries can get!!) i literally could stay for hours!! And the staff also gave me a free size up plastic pot for my new tree when i mentioned i wanted to repot it into another nursery pot--literally walked me out to find a bigger nursery pot!!! That kind of customer service is so hard to find these days. will definitely be back!!!!!! read more

Love it here. The selection is great and there's like three massive green houses full of plants. I stopped by a month ago looking for some indoor plants and even got them plants repotted!! read more

I live just a block from this nursery and it's amazing how many people don't even know it exists. The back of it actually borders a residential street. I bought a number of plants here last year that I was not able to find at other nurseries and this is what brought me here the other day. I was looking for a dwarf red Japanese Maple, and although I'll probably be buying one in the spring, Eileen was really helpful and took the time to not only read the descriptions but also Google some of the species so that we would both be clear as far as how tall the tree grew and weather conditions it liked. It doesn't hurt that the nursery is in a beautiful setting and although smaller than some, has many beautiful and creative accoutrements throughout the gardens. read more

I love this nursery!! From their lilac trees down to their ladybugs- this place is fantastic. I've always found the staff to be super friendly and willing to help me whether in person or on the phone. They always have a wonderful selection of whatever I am looking for, and are usually pretty comparable on prices from larger chain stores (Lowe's). read more

Lovely local nursery with lots of inventory variety and super friendly staff. The space is real cute. They've got indoor and outdoors plants. Doing a good job keeping things social distanced. Really happy to have found this gem to keep us flush in plants. read more

What is cuter than a locally owned and opperated small business?... well, other cute local businesses! Stop here, and enjoy friendly service by its owners which includes a friendly dalmation who is very much a owner just like his owners of this nursery! Nice selection of plants, flowers, some etible plants. This business has had a long life here in the Des Moines area, but has had a change of owners to the current one over the past few years... still great service and a landmark in this area! read more

Truly a hidden gem. I went in this past weekend looking for over sized pots.I was approached right when I walked in asking if I needed any help. Long story short I was helped by the owner of this amazing nursery. She was so connected and attentive and explained every option I had for pots and plants and even gave me new ideas I had never thought.I have to say this was one of the best experiences I have ever had she truly loves her job and company and I will continue to come here and recommend to anyone looking for pots,plants garden sculptures this is your place.The owner is a shinning example of a small business selling quality products and listening to customers needs! Thank you read more

Excellent selection of everyone thing that grows! Each team member really likes working here and it shows. Very helpful, professional and accommodating. Had one team member use her own phone to text back and forth on a specific pot I needed. Really helpful. Delivery is priced kindly and approachable for those needing to get your greenery and floral a ride home. Really appreciate y'all being open and taking care of your customers! read more

I read that there are certain herbs that can help keep bugs away. We went to 3 places but only one place stood out to me. Sharing with anyone who would like to get help at a garden center. It made shopping quick and informative. The customer service is 5 stars, 10 out of 10, gold baby! Zenith Holland Gardens. Zenith Holland Gardens was welcoming with a hello as we got out of the car. Then we started looking and were assisted right away. Then another employee helped us because she knew a bit more about using herbs. She was full of energy, knew exactly what she was talking about. Super helpful. read more

This nursery and its staff is AMAZING! My husband and I need to landscape our front and back yard but we both are not at all knowledgeable about plants. A friend recommended Zenith Holland to us, so we stopped by one Saturday afternoon and met an angel named Francine!!! She just so happened to have an available spot open to come over for a consultation that evening. Francine carefully listen to what we were hoping for and made some really wonderful suggestions. We loved all of her ideas and decided to go back the next day and load up on shrubs and flowers. Francine spent most of her Sunday helping us pick out all of our plants and gave us a killer deal on the lot. Long story short.... Zenith Holland has life long customers over here. I would recommend them to anyone I know... green thumb or not! read more

Rita for president! Whatever Rita is getting paid, it's not enough. Rita is so knowledgeable and excellent at her craft. I've been to Zenith three times now and couldn't be more pleased. I know squat about plants, so I bring in a photo to Rita and share a bit about the sun exposure. Then, she takes off and pulls together a variety of complimentary flowers and grasses from all over the nursery and comes back to enthusiastically share the characteristics of each and how to arrange them to make something spectacular. I've loved everything she has recommended. Rita, you've changed my life. read more

First time there after work today, right before they closed. Super helpful showing me where to find what I was looking for, and making suggestions. I had called earlier to ask some questions and she was very helpful. I'm a novice when it comes to planting, so it was great to get recommendations and suggestions. We'll be back. read more

This nursery/garden store is amazing and so full of beautiful & healthy plants, pots, cute little knickknacks, friendly service and inspiring ideas that there is no need for me to go way east or north to Molbak's or Swanson's! I love that each "specialty" area is housed in a cozy cottage like or open air space that truly makes one feel like you've entered into a secret garden. Selection is huge, in fact I've been searching for weeks for an orange pot for my houseplant (Amazon, Wayfair, Home Depot, my local West Seattle nurseries, etc). and came up short. Was getting frustrated. Of course Zenith had it at a super reasonable price. I noticed they also give classes. Highly recommend! read more

I finally made it here and it is soooo worth any trip you have to take. What a treasure! The staff is super friendly, genuine and knowledgeable. The plants are stunning and the prices are affordable. We will be buying all our plants and supplies here from now on! read more

Today was "buy a car full of annuals and host as day" at Zenith. Asked the Mrs to pick out two mature hostas and she got 9. Ok, they were buy two get one free, so all is well. I have not been here for a few years and I was surprised at the new greenhouses and general orderliness of the place. They have really improved it. It's great to stroll around looking at the many varieties of annuals and perennials. Bonus points for the friendly help, too. A fellow was really great in finding the best hostas and check out was easy. We can't wait to get everything into the gardens and pots. read more

Great nursery! We buy almost all of our landscaping plants here. Even though it is smaller some how they also have an amazing selection! Very helpful/attentive staff too. Also, very good prices, coupons, and sales. read more

I bought at this nursery for the 1st time this year, in October 2019, I bought 2 sweet outdoor plants for my patio. Spent a lot of time talking to the main lady that loves to chat about how to care for the plants, 2 weeks later leaves fell off. OK, I guess I wasn't so careful with them as I should have been, but have long history of plants lasting a long time..so not sure why that happened. 10 days before Thanksgiving I bought a wreath, bought a liquid they ensured me would help the wreath last through Christmas by misting every other day. within a matter of days the small brown leaves and green needles kept falling off..I soaked the wreath twice a week in a tub of water, I misted it twice a day when I didn't soak it. I also bought a small tree that kept just fine through the Christmas holiday. The week before Christmas I had to throw out the wreath and buy another one, yes I went to the same place, it was close and I had friends coming into town. Its a cute wreath. When I went into the nursery to purchase the 2nd wreath, the same woman all of the sudden acted like she didn't speak or understand english. She could not have cared less that the wreath I bought was dead and unable to keep it hanging on the door, all she could say was, "well the man that makes the wreaths said people love the wreath when it is dry." then she told me not to forget to get a tree. OMG, never going back there again.....NEVER! Gave them 1 star, because YELP requires it! read more

What a great find! Early in the season, but I found some amazing plants I have not seen anywhere else. Prices are really competitive. Sales staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. I'll be back in a few weeks to pick up more plants as the weather stays warmer. Can't recommend this nursery highly enough. read more

This place is the best. I don't even live near the area, but I will never buy a living plant from anywhere else after all the great experiences I've had here. Healthy house plants are tough to find because a lot of retail stores don't have the time to take proper care of them. Not only are Zenith Holland's plants incredibly healthy and well taken care of, the employees are super knowledgeable on the individual plants and how to care for them too! They'll even talk you out of buying one if you don't have the proper care methods available for the plants. It's such a homey space and hard not to buy everything you see! They've got an amazing selection and pots and soil to back it up. The best nursery around for sure. read more

This is one of the best nurseries that is fairly close in to Burien and their selection is pretty good as well. They have some great plans and their prices are pretty competitive as well. read more

I live in Des Moines and I didn't even know this was here! I just happened to do a search on Des Moines nurseries. I'm so glad I stopped by! The staff was very friendly and the plants were all healthy and beautiful. I'm so thankful that all of my questions were answered as to where each thing could, would, or wouldn't fit in my garden. I highly recommend a visit! read more

Couldn't ask for a better nursery. They've got a great selection of flowers, trees, shrubs and more. Many of which I couldn't find at other stores. Owners and staff are wonderful to work with, friendly and well-versed in their professions. read more

Wonderful nursery--rare and well tended plants and very knowledgable staff. Great wire work and a lovely clay birdhouse that has a japanese folk potter feel. Had to buy one. AND I esp. like that they support regional growers and business people. Plenty of parking. read more

I love Zenith Holland Gardens. The plants that I purchased there are flourishing. I appreciate all the help that the employees and owners provided. My hanging baskets that I made from their plants are starting to look better with some heat. The perennials and vegetables are doing well also. They even sell worm castings and organic fertilizer. When I need a break from weeding, I stop by there. read more

Love, Love, Love Zenith Holland Gardens! My planters, hanging baskets and veggie garden are always amazing thanks to Lyn and her crew. This is a local, 100% woman-owned business that really cares about its customers. I get help designing my containers, great ideas for new types of foliage and the prices are very reasonable. They also have special events and speakers. Well worth the drive to Des Moines! read more
