Landscaping reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Great options and easy to get around. Only complaint would be that staff can be rude and seemed to be really annoyed that I approached them to ask them a question, but that wasn't a huge deal.

I love Gethsemane! This year I came with an idea of what I wanted - a concept really - and was inspired by all the vibrant colors! Russell was absolutely amazing with helping me compose this gorgeous color scheme🤩🤩 I knew I was in good hands as we created my over-the-top planter ensemble.

No other garden center even comes close to the quality, selection, and helpful staff that put Gethsemane in a league of its own.

Best store ever! I bought a large bonsai and the staff was super-attentive. My tree is thriving! Also, I just completed the kokedama class and it was amazing!

This place is incredible. Even if you’re not looking to purchase any plants, it’s just so much fun to wander around their beautiful shop and look at all the awesome plants. However, I can almost guarantee something is going to catch your eye and you won’t leave empty handed!

My personal experience here was excellent. Zach was our garden guide who approached us and asked if we had any questions and I wish I could have just rented him for the day so I could just listen to him talk about plants! He was unbelievably helpful and far exceeded any expectations of what customer service should entail.

At one point, the other staff even had some extra donuts on hand and offered them to us which is just a side note about how much fun we had just hanging out with their great employees.

If you are even remotely interested in plants in the slightest, just swing by and check this place out. It’s unreal and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. You might even find a new passion for plants like I just renewed! Also, check out my awesome little plants I just bought this time I went. Love them.

Great garden center, the staff is always helpful and nice selection of items.
We always buy our Christmas tree here, but enjoy shopping here year round.

Really magical experience here - my boyfriend and I went and an employee there came and asked us what our dream tree height was, we talked a bit and he set us up with the perfect tree within our budget - beyond grateful and I hope he knows his kindness made our month!

Tried a few other garden shops around the city and nothing compares to Gethsemane. They have the most helpful and knowledgeable employees, the healthiest plants, and a super wide variety. Regina has been the standout helping us but had nothing but good vibes all around from everyone!

The plants I bought here are by far the healthiest/happiest in my collection so I won’t be going anywhere else again.

Hopefully one day I’ll learn how to pronounce the name.

👁 👄 👁 when I saw that greenhouse...

With the greenhouses in the conservatory in Lincoln Park closed, and other plant shops closed to in person shopping - I needed this.

This is a pretty huge showroom greenhouse with tons of selection in tropicals as well as cacti & succulents. They also have a real rarity - actual Bonsai stock and accessories.

I found not only wishlist plants here but also some amazing pots at a good price.
I’m so glad I came here, and I will keep coming back! They seem like an awesome local business 👍

Just laughable quality for the price. This is the second plant that was repotted with pieces of the original plastic still fused to the roots. Unbelievable prices for such poor quality.

This is my first time visiting this shop to look for a Christmas tree to decorate my home. I was very impressed upon arriving—there are plenty of Christmas trees to choose from, along with a wide variety of holiday decorations. The staff is incredibly attentive and provides excellent service. There’s also a section with decorative plants for the home, offering a great selection. If you’re looking for a good plant shop, I highly recommend this place!

I like plants. They got 'em. Knowledgeable staff who take the time to let you know each plant's care plan. There is almost too much stuff to sift through. The plant prices are reasonable. Some of the other stuff, fountains, planters, and incense, seems astronomical. 800 for a fountain, small plaster planter, 75, incense 15, while a larfe two panel wooden trellis is 35. Pick and choose what makes sense for you, and enjoy the great outdoors

Just got back from this place, I believe this was my fifth visit so I figured it was time to review. Me and my girlfriend (she loves this place and is the one who introduced me to it) bought a bunch of flower plants for my flower pot and I’m so happy with my purchase. The staff here is really helpful. Collin stood with us throughout the entire purchase and helped us pick the perfect plants for our needs and explained everything about each plant too, which was extremely helpful to me as I’m new to planting. We plan to come back to get more plants and definitely recommend this place!

The only place in Chicago to buy a Christmas tree. Yes, they are not cheap, but you are paying for freshness & quality. I always find many affordable Christmas gifts in the shop as well. Lovely staff including one person dressed up as an elf today. I recommend Gethsemane year round for all of your plant, gardening, and gift giving needs.

We’ve been coming here for our Christmas tree since 2018 and they’ve never disappointed! Today we ran in last minute and were greeted by Jamie, “best tree picker in the world!” according to our 6 year old. The first one he found us based on our wishlist was a winner and we were out the door in a few mins. Thanks a bunch to Jamie and the whole crew 🙂

I love this garden center! They have tons of things to see! Plants,flowers, jewelry etc. this place is a gem in the city. If you haven’t been there, you most definitely have to check it out 🩷

Love coming to this location have been coming since 2017. I always get my Christmas trees from here and Tony is very helpful when I need help picking my trees. I also love their flowers and decorations they’re so cute.

Really wonderful plant shop and gardening center. They had a huge variety of unique plants, both indoor and outdoor! I was really happy to find some tomatillo plants and even Cucamelon seedlings. I had problems finding those in big box gardening stores, so I was happy to find them here.

The prices felt like a steal, I got 3 Pilea Peperomiodes of a decent size in the same pot! The staff are also really helpful and approachable. What more can I say, come here for your gardening needs 🪴Maybe you’ll find your dream plant.

I came to the store after my horrifying experience at a plant store in Niles. This place is clean! The plants are healthy! The employees were amazingly kind and helpful. The employee helped me find a plant that was cat friendly, with big leaves and within my price range, as I requested. A group of employees wrapped up my plants while I went to go pay. Then two of the employees helped me load my car. I will definitely be coming back here to purchase more plants in the spring.

Great selection of plants. Mark and Barb were both very helpful with selecting our plants. We went on Mother's Day afternoon and it was quite busy but still heavily stocked.

This place is amazing! They have EVERYTHING! Staff was really nice. Prices are good. They have a lot of variety. I recently got into succulents. I live in a small apartment with not much direct sunlight. Trying to figure out what's best to grow. My only small concern is that I think they receive new plants on Fridays and employees were unpacking and it was hard to go and browse due to the large amount of boxes nearby. I ended up exploring the rest of this place. They sell some really cool artwork. They have cute patio furniture. And even some of their stuff was on sale!!! I wish I had seen what was in those boxes but I'll probably stop by on another day. I bought 3 succulents and I'm most likely going back for more.

A beautiful plant shop where are you can find postcards, cute dishes for the house or gardening supply, including plants. They have seasonal plants as it is full of colorful flowers during spring and summer and it will be changed to Christmas themed plants as winter comes around. They have beautiful mini pocket tissues with variety of floral patterns! A fun stop if you’re at the Andersonville Neighbourhood.
