    Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Have been coming here for 8+ years. Amazing selection of plants, yard art and gifts. Always our first, and usually our only stop for plants every year.

    Laurie (from The Growing Place) is an extraordinary landscape designer. The enchanting English gardens she meticulously designed for us are delightful.

    We are continually captivated by the carefully selected array of visually stunning flowers, shrubs, and grasses. The combination of colors and textures she orchestrated is awe-inspiring.

    The summer display is nothing short of breathtaking, and as fall graces our garden, the kaleidoscope of textures and colors only deepens, creating a captivating tapestry of nature.

    Our garden posed a unique challenge, with varying sun conditions throughout the day—be it the scorching midday sun, dappled shade, or deep shadow.

    Laurie's selection of plantings proved perfect for all three of these distinct areas. Her ability to harmonize the natural elements with the unique characteristics of our garden showcases her unparalleled talent as an artist.

    We consider ourselves fortunate to have had Laurie bring her artistic touch to our garden. If you're seeking a landscape designer who possesses an exceptional eye for beauty, color and texture, Laurie is undoubtedly the one to choose.

    Expensive. Employees range from helpful to hateful…I got an earful when asking for advice on some plants that had died. Ruined the place for me.

    I visited yesterday and found most things way overpriced (small Clematises for 25$ and Knockout roses for 50$ each, Small sized Acers 250$…), that too at the end of the season in mid September. Even Homedepot has better prices and in most cases better variety too.

    There seemed to be enough staff around, willing to help, which is good but other than that I don’t think its a good retail place for serious gardeners.

    I haven't needed it yet, but if you do need it there are people everywhere saying hi and checking in on you. Also the fun little events they have during the summer are fun. Plants are a little more expensive than the big box stores, but that is expected as they don't have a 200,000 sqft facility to support lower plant prices. Plant selection is amazing and their website has a tremendous amount of plant knowledge you can look at whenever you need it. For the last two seasons this has been my go to for all the perennials I have needed. My youngest daughter also loves the fairy gardens and all the things kids can do there. This place is amazingly kid friendly which makes shopping a joy instead of a chore. Thank you.

    Highly recommend this place if you’re planning to buy some plants, shrubs or trees. People working there are absolutely amazing, they have helped us to choose plants, gave us advice how to plant them and load them into our car. Check out this place, they also have cute garden pots and decorations.

    Love this garden center! Well organized by plant type (annual or perennial), shrubs, trees and bushes. We went specifically for their selection of fairy garden plants and accessories which are awesome! I really like this garden center because they have unique plants that you don't necessarily find at "Home Depot" type stores. Really nice garden decorations as well that are unique. Prices are average for most things but honestly everything is well taken care of.

    The variety of plants is amazing! Plants I've never seen before! If you're tired of the stock items that are offered at other places, this is your heaven! Workers that are polite and willing to help you find just that perfect look! I'm definitely returning!

    Can’t wait till Spring to go stock up on my flowers & plants! Large property with huge variety & helpful staff! A little pricey but worth it for what has always been my healthiest of plants! Also offer classes & have fun functions throughout the open months! Worth a drive out (thou Lucky I live very close to this amazing business!)

    Visited this place based on the Google reviews, and I have to say that it's been disappointing. I've tried to give this place a chance a few times, but here goes:
    -You can find special varieties here but all items are considerably overpriced than other nurseries in town
    -Long wait lines to check out
    -Was recommended by their expert to purchase two hydrangeas. They died over the winter and this place refuses to replace/refund without a receipt. They can't find my purchase record in their system. Funny, because I clearly remember the checkout cashier emphasizing their guarantee policy. I can't find the reciept because it's been a year and I tried to give the plants a chance.

    Do yourself a favor and go to any other nursery in the area. I've had much better experiences elsewhere.

    This is my families go to garden center! They have beautiful gardens throughout the grounds. Everyone who works there just LOVES plants and are very kind and knowledgeable. I actually worked there for a few summers and it was such a fun job! I got to learn so much about plants and horticulture. Highly recommend this place. 10/10!

    Great place to explore and purchase wonderful annuals and perennials. There is also a children’s play area so you have a few minutes to think in peace!

    I love the Growing Place. It is like a little colorful and fragrant piece of paradise. I have been shopping there for years. My perennial gardens are pretty full so I go there when I need beautiful new specimens or plants for my vegetable garden. I noticed that their plants are sturdier, more vibrant and vigorous and there is a huge selection of heirloom vegetables!

    Staff is ALWAYS super helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Thank you!

    We came here to look for some pepper plants. We had questions about how spicy different peppers are, and the lady we spoke to had the answers right off the top of her head. Impressive! We have not been here a while. It seems bigger now. The place is beautiful even if you just want to walk around to soak in some happy vibes or to be inspired. I am a black thumb, and I love this place!

    They have a really nice variety, even in early June, of veggies and perennials. I love their display gardens. Prices are moderate for a nursery. I only purchase specific plants or the harder to find varieties here. Employees are the older set, not very chatty. Checkout is always very curt and to the point which is fine with me.
