What do customers say?

Plant quality and expertise draw customers back year after year, with reviewers praising the nursery's rare finds, healthy specimens, and knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to help. Landscaping and design teams earn consistent praise for punctuality, thoughtful plant placement, and finishing work to a high standard. However, service is uneven: some staff members have been dismissive or rude to customers, and one design project missed the mark entirely, with ownership not responding to complaints.

Specifics that matter: named designers like Morgan receive strong feedback for attention to follow-up and plant combinations. Delivery services (trees in December, landscape work) are reliable. A few seasonal event issues (Santa and reindeer closure, pricing) occurred around the holidays nine months ago, but the core retail and landscaping business remains strong.

  • high-quality plants and seasonal selection
  • professional landscaping teams
  • thoughtful customer service and follow-up

  • Plant material largely grown on-site to above-average standard
  • Dog roams the nursery grounds

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver trees before Christmas?
Yes. They deliver trees in the stand and ready to use, even on busy Saturdays in early December. One reviewer's tree held its needles through January.
Can I request a specific designer for my project?
Designer Morgan is named in a recent review for excellent follow-up and plant combinations. It's worth asking for a particular designer by name when booking.
Do you grow your own plants?
Much of the plant material is grown on-site to an above-average standard, giving access to rare and unusual plant combinations not found elsewhere.
