Home Services reviews in Cottage Grove, Minnesota

Great spot for pumpkins, family festivals, and their haunted hayride. Lots of flowers and plants. A very cute boutique with original gifts

Excellent knowledge on apple trees, and yummy pumpkins for pies! Love to support this family owned business.

This place is awesome. I love the events that they have for planters in the spring and holiday arrangements for Christmas. Staff is amazing. I would highly recomend this garden center.

Stopped for Crazee Corn Days and just had to buy the sweet corn. It is totally delicious. Go pick some up. You won't be disappointed.

Freindly staff, good pricing on wide range of materials from plants to rocks all your landscaping needs in one place with available delivery (limit is around 6yards). Would recommend Zywiec for your outdoor needs.

I went and bought hanging plants and several other plants. 2 days later one of the hanging plants were dead. I went back and the person that waited on me was so rude. She said they don't guarantee their plants. I was planning on buying more but now I will go somewhere else.

I absolutely love the people and the beautiful flowers and shrubs that are available!!
The variety is so good and the plants are so healthy. I wait every year for them to open!!!!

Glad we stopped in! They have a wonderful selection of apple trees, cherry trees and grapes. Their staff was very friendly. Their prices were very reasonably.

We (myself, my wife, and sister) came here for the haunted house and hayride. Bike or us had ever really been to a true haunted house, aside from the ones at Valleyscare, and had also never been on a haunted hayride, so it was a fresh experience for us.

The wait in line was actually not bad - we stood for about 1/2 hour, and all the whole there were "characters" from the haunted house milling about the crowd and providing spooks and entertainment. Unfortunately, there were a few people in line around us that were being complete imbeciles and trying to ruin the experience, but the staff did a great job of handling them.

The hay ride was first; we all piled up in the trailer behind a tractor driven by our rather friendly and joyful driver. As we made our way around the property through "salvage yards", "haunted swamps", and other creepy scenes that were created quite expertly, various creatures would jump out or climb aboard to spook those who were spookable. The sets and acting was just as impressive/amusing as anything! At one point, there was an old combine that they had rigged with lighting effects and debris, which drove behind us at extremely close proximity, probably the best part of the ride.

After the ride, we entered the haunted house portion. The line was again quite short, and we quickly made out way into the maze of well-constructed sets and creatures just waiting to terrify. The sets were incredibly well done, and most of the creatures were very enthusiastic and set in their character. I was impressed by their work and appreciated the work that went into the design.

Overall, this was a good experience. I would recommend you go just to see the work that they put into the sets and their characters.

Was treated incredibly rude by management and other employees. We brought a tree back that we bought that didn’t make it through the summer and followed their instructions on an exchange and brining back in the spring. They said they’d keep our name on file for the return, and when we came to exchange they weren’t going to work with us because their old system crashed! Felt as if they were blaming us for their systems failure. I have never felt so disrespected. I would rather spend more elsewhere than come back here.

Picking up a Christmas tree from here was super easy. They cut off the end, bag it, and tie it to your vehicle at no extra charge. Very nice selection of trees too.

When there was a drought a few years back, and Cottage Grove was unable to water because of water issues, and when the water issues were resolved, Zywiec's offered the citizens of Cottage Grove FREE plants 🪴. Granted, it was later in the season. But the fact remains, they gave away FREE plants. They have my undying admiration for what they did for the community. Takes selflessness and integrity to be so kind. And you can park ever so close.

Went here to get my Christmas tree. Staff was okay could definitely use some customer service classes or something. Thought my tree was good, But overpriced in my opinion. Had it up for less than a week now and is losing TONS of needles, like everywhere. I will be lucky if it even has any needles left on it come Christmas! All the gift store stuff was nice, but again expensive. The guys doing the trees weren't very knowledgeable or helpful, and they just kind of wanted you in and out, not very personable. I guess I will try out their flowers come spring, but I can only imagine they will not be cheap either, but hopefully they will last longer than my tree did

First time stopping in today. Just getting into terrarium's with my son. I wish I could remember the employee name but she was great. Helped me with everything I needed and explained how to care for what I was looking to do. Will be back for anything else in the future!

Very fun place for the Halloween fall season. very nice personal that work there. There corn maze is great and very reasonable they have a free daytime hayride. They also have Hunted hayride and a spooky thing that goes on at night I did not go but had went years ago and it was wonderful.
😊

This was a very disappointing experience. We drove almost an hour to this place because we had heard what great plants they had. Turns out almost all the houseplants were half dead and one of them had what looked like spider mite damage. Very disappointing. Don't waste your time unless you are looking for outside plants. Those were fine just a little overpriced.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff and plenty of them. A little pricier than the big boxes but I think they make up for it in selection, quality, and service/knowledge.

Picked up my pots planted at the spring planting party
Pot#1 (paid $59) was half dead...received refund. Pot #2 (pre potted by Zywiecs, paid $45.99) was overgrown and scraggly). Was told it was "fine", no refund. I had planned on buying more plants and potting soil. I will NEVER purchase ANYTHING from Zyweic's again.

Our annual mother's Day flowers shopping was a success at Zywiec's this year. Our first time here and will go back for sure. Great plants that were beautiful and healthy. The owner helped us find the perfect plants for my mom's porch boxes and my front porch pots that fit the space and will grow well given the amount of shade we have. Soo excited to see them grow this summer! They also had free ice cream for Mom's and some other great deals, too! We'll definitely to back again.

Love their plants bought beautiful lilies earlier. Their Craft Fair (Rooted in Junk) is lots of fun vendors. Always fun to stop every season you never know what they have!

Their succulents here are absolutely amazing! They are not over priced like you will find at most garden centers. Plus, I’m supporting a family owned business. I’m so excited to go back in the Spring to see all of the succulents they will have then. Highly recommend Zywiec’s!
