    Poor selection of bolts and fasteners compaired to Lowe's. Also the garden center doesn't carry vegetable seeds. Other than that it's a nice clean store with helpful staff.

    Pretty dismayed by the poor customer service. Employees mostly act like they're waiting to get off work; very little work ethic. Wandered around Garden area looking for staff. When I finally found someone, she indicated "oh I don't work in Garden, I'll go find someone." About 5 minutes later an employee came up and said she worked in Garden. I asked her for hydrangeas and her response was "oh that sounds familiar" but couldn't locate any, and wasn't sure where to look. She wasn't even aware that they were perennials.

    Not the first time I've had this type of experience. I have a Lowe's much closer yet tried to remain loyal to HD... not anymore.

    Bought a returned mower from them, and got the warm and fuzzy if you have any problems you can bring it back.Next season I had a problem and policies had changed, that they don't take returns anymore. I brought to them they fix a fused problem. I cut my grass one time and the issue returned, so I'm not a happy customer during cutting season.

    Had great service from Ben this afternoon. He helped me select stones for a walking path, and he loaded them carefully onto a cart. Professional and friendly interaction

    I have visited pretty much all the nursery’s in the Cary, Apex and Durham area and this place has the best variety of houseplants and succulents as well as outdoor plants, trees and herbs! I am on a hunt for very specific houseplants and when I went here last weekend, I found a bunch of “hard to find” ones that I’d been looking everywhere for. All the employees are so kind and helpful. The alpaca, chickens, goats and ducks are a fun bonus to coming here!

    The For Garden's sake team was a pleasure to work with, from landscape design to implementation.. They cheerfully handled my issues and I'm pleased with the results.

    I've visited a lot of garden centers and FGS is by far the best. Amazing selection and extremely helpful and kind staff. I currently have a rather large landscaping project and Shannon spent so much time helping me even though they were very busy. Jon stepped in to help as well! All of the staff is amazing no matter how big or small the project.

    This was our first time to visit. What a really nice space and plant selection. It is a great way to have an enjoyable few hours doing something different (from normal).

    One of my favorite place to shop for flowers and plants in the Triangle! For Garden’s Sake has a great variety of plants and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. The delicious beverages, food trucks and goats are a plus!!

    Such an amazing garden center! I’m a frequent visitor!! Great collection of trees and all kinds of plants. I was particularly impressed with the variety of Japanese Maples in stock. The farm with duck, goats and other animals are a joy for the kids!

    DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR LANDSCAPING. Over the course of the year, I sent repeated emails regarding my concern about the yard and was consistently dismissed. My last email to the owner, Scott, was returned with an offensive and belittling reply. It is shocking to me what little regard this company has for customer service and ownership of their work (or lack of). The pictures attached show my grass before this company started working for me and after. Unfortunately, I feel like I have been robbed of thousands of dollars and this is what I have to show for it.
    In response to the excuse that it was hot and dry, please explain how that is different from any other summer? In fact, we have gotten more rainfall this summer than usual. Also, please tell me why isn’t every yard in Durham as crappy as mine? Listen, just own your stuff. You did a bad job and you should admit and learn from it! It’s awful that you should try to blame the customer!

    Very helpful and knowledgeable staff with a wide variety of plants and trees. We got several varieties of blueberry bushes, and I love the carnivorous plants they have inside. We will definitely be returning for any and all of our outdoor projects!

    This was the cutest garden place ever! They have a place to get a beer or glass of wine while your walking around looking at plants. We were in search of a big house plant for our living room. They have an entire indoor area for house plants. They had a variety of sizes for each plant we looked at. Debbie helped us and was so nice, patient and knowledgeable. I have quite a few plants at home and had questions about them and she answered all of them. They gave us a brochure to help answer questions and problem solve if something isn’t going right. They also said we can call and they can look up the plants we’ve gotten from them to assist us in making sure the plants are flourishing. I highly recommend this place if you are someone who really wants to help your plants thrive. Thank you so much!

    Ended up visiting here since they are one of the only places with a "pumpkin patch" that allow dogs...for a photoshoot. I will def plan to return to purchase plants as well as to get drinks at the Shed. The slush with moscato was delicious!! There are also goats! 🐐 I'm very happy to have been introduced to this lovely spot.

    We’ve had the pleasure of working with Scott, Marsha, and the amazing team at For Garden’s Sake, and it’s been nothing short of incredible. They are kind, generous, and a true joy to partner with and exceptional at what they do.

    Their passion for creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces shines through in every project, and their dedication to their clients and community is truly inspiring. Finding a team that’s this talented and genuine is rare. We’re so grateful to work alongside such wonderful people!

    If you're looking for a company that cares deeply and delivers high-quality work, we can’t recommend For Garden’s Sake enough.

    Their flowers always last longer than buying from Lowe’s or elsewhere! Best selection and fun for the kids with the swing set and animals.

    My wife loves this place and I appreciate it for that. Beyond that, they always have something new when we go there, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They have so much stuff for indoors and out so is definitely worth the trip to check it out.

    There are goats, chickens, and ducks to look at too!

    UPDATE: They have expanded a little and there are even more plants inside. There is a clearance section with some really good deals, too!

    A great place for family fun and shopping for plants, plant food, garden soil, and mulch. They have a large variety of flowers, herbs, and pots. The pond was wonderful to roam around with kids and the goats and chickens made our kids day! Will visit again for sure.
