Landscaping reviews in Chicago, Illinois

This is my favorite in Chicago. Right off of Elston there's no parking lot but they're always seems to be parking spots available. I believe it has been a family-run business for many many years. It's great to support local. They have unique items you wouldn't expect. Great mid century outdoor chairs. At the start of the season they sell out of items quickly but do stock back up once or twice a week. I also love the dirt and soil they have. Not sure if there is a difference between dirt and soil. The plant selections for indoors are plentiful and lots of rotating selections.

Chloe Larson, our landscaping consultant, and her team did an incredible job with our backyard design and annual flower planting. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and is a great communicator. The cost of the design and plantings were very reasonable. Farmers Market - Chicago's Garden Center is highly recommended.

bought a plant that has bugs (whiteflies), they're not willing to take it back. extremely disappointing considering the high pricetag.

My neighbors and I used Farmers Market for our landscaping and garden cleanup and we could not be happier. The FM team planted tulips last fall the look amazing and they just installed sod in our yard that is doing well and looks beautiful so far. Chloe and team are super responsive with questions and sincerely care about how your garden grows and thrives.

I used to shop here 15 20 years ago and the customer service was amazing! The staff, the owner very knowledgeable and helpful. Well I understand times change and maybe the management/owners have also? I’ve gone twice in the last week and am only giving this place 3 stars because ONE lady today was helpful. One. I wish I got her name. Otherwise it seems like most who work there aren’t knowledgeable about plants or the products they sell...do they have them? Where are they located? etc. They seem mostly busy stocking and taking care of store tasks rather than being bothered with customers.

I love this place. We have been coming here for years to buys perennials, annuals and get advice. We also buys our Christmas tree here each year. We are so happy to witness the revitalization of this local gem. The renewed selection of plants and planters/decor is amazing. The floral services are also top knot-notch. I ordered a Prom corsage that was beyond average. Prettiest one of the night! Thank you for being a great neighborhood stop!!

I had such a positive experience that I felt compelled to say something. I went in looking for perennials but really had no idea what I was doing. Regan helped me so much and was infinitely patient. Truly great customer service and an excellent selection of beautiful flowers. No more Home Depot for me. Glad I live so close to this wonderful place.

Plus, the music here is always on point. Last time I came by I heard Pavement, Yo La Tengo and Guided by Voices. Thumbs way up.

I purchased a beautiful Jane Magnolia with the help of the owners of the garden center. Everyone is exceptionally knowledgeable and kind, and want the best for their clients. Every question I had was thoughtfully answered and the delivery/installation was completed with attention to detail. I highly recommend this shop, which I recently learned is women-owned! One thing I’d note is that they are extremely busy during this season, but they give them their full attention to each client. 10/10!!!

This is the best spot to get anything from Christmas trees to pumpkins. For flowers though this beats everybody in the dust. I worked with Charlie who really helped me find the best bouquet for my wife. They delivered it quickly and was so nice over the phone and to my wife. The Bouquet itself was beautiful and the flowers were not dyed or fake looking. It was a piece of Art!
If you are asking yourself would I ever go here again? The answer is yes yes YES they are the best and they have a return customer for life. Thanks again!

Happy greens. Should I have gotten an email for points? I look forward to a happy return.

If you need spectacular plantings for your flower boxes, pots or hanging baskets then you should run-DON'T WALK- to the Farmers Market Garden Center. Owned by women, their eye for elegant, unexpected plant groupings makes for magic throughout the growing season.

I have worked with Chloe for several years now. Her winter planting for my front porch large bowl was as whimsical as it was beautiful. Each spring she and her team come to plant the largest pieces around my house. So many people stop and ask who did our planting I told Chloe I should get a commission.

The plant selection is wide and the quality of plants is excellent. Service is top notch. This is where you should go for show stopping plantings at a reasonable price.

Farmers Market has been my go-to for spring planting for several years. Choosing porch plants can be a challenge because my city porch is north-facing and covered. The staff here has never failed to recommend the right plants for my lowlight growing conditions. They're knowledgeable and super helpful. It's a pleasure to shop here!

Pretty amazing!!! A ‘hidden’ gem in Chicago. I have gone to all the famous places and this place is closer. The selection is amazing. I got my terrarium plants. Some garden decorations and pond plants. I had a person with me all the time!!! Service! Thought that was dead. If he didn’t know, he asked.

The staff are really nice and courteous. We’ve gotten our Yule trees from them and have had great results. We bought an Areca Palm plant about a month ago and with proper care and attention it’s already withering and has bugs. Maybe I should’ve held off buying a plant that only had a few brown leaves but it looked lovely still. I called their store and asked for advice on caring for the plant but have yet to hear back and it’s been over a week.

Very organized, huge variety of plants or planters...super friendly staff

My son and I LOVE this place for great selection of unique plants!!!

Quite the selection of plants even though they have only their indoor section open (since it's January). Am excited to come back in the spring to see a bigger selection and get some for my home.

Great indoor plant selection and super helpful staff who know their plants!
Beautiful little pots for succulents!

Been coming here for years, great selection of indoor and outdoor plants.

People are really nice and help out with anything. Plants are pretty. Btw these pictures i took at the place.

I was blown away with how friendly and helpful the ladies here were. I came here clueless with how to decorate planters, and within 30 minutes felt like a pro. Everyone went out of their way to help, and even helped load my car. Thank you!!
