Landscaping reviews in Durham, North Carolina

Love this place! Lots to choose from. Okay prices. My favorite places to get ferns. So many varieties. Would definitely recommend

We love this place! Great selection and such nice people work there, we make this our main plant spot!

This local spot has really knowledgeable folks and they sell plants native to our area so it makes gardening much easier. They have a large variety of plants and trees.

I want to get some milkweed was and was pleased to learn about several varieties. A very helpful employee suggested which type I should get for my garden. I was impressed with all of the choices and the friendliness of the staff.

The best GARDEN Center in Durham! I learned so much from the owner Keith! He is always so friendly and knowledgeable! I bought a monstera there 2 years ago and it is STILL ALIVE and thriving!! THANKS DURHAM GARDEN CENTER!!!

Knowledgeable staff, with a wonderful variety of plants, seeds, bulbs, and everything you need for your gardening!

I have been here about 5 times since I moved here last July. I always feel unwelcome. I was going to go today, but I’m dreading the visit. Decided against going.

I like the quality of the products, the layout, and the set-up. Hate the experience once I pass the door.

I’m not sure if I’ve had a better experience at any other store, ever. I visited the garden center for the first time during my lunch break on Monday and I had no intentions of making a purchase that day. As I was about to leave, Rosa greeted me and asked if she could help. I think I probably asked her 100 questions and she seemed so genuinely happy to help with each and every one. I left with 5 plants and a way better understanding of what I needed for my flower bed. When I got back to work and punched in, I realized Rosa must have helped me for almost 30 minutes.
I went back the next day and bought 5 more! Lol
Keith was at the checkout counter for both of my purchases. Him and Rosa are the absolute customer service dream team. I will for sure be back!

I have been going to this store for years and the positive energy NEVER disappoints! I love how elegant it always is and how friendly the staff is when I walk in. This is defiantly a high class garden center:) But everything is affordable and of great quality!

I bought an air plant from there and it is absolutely the best! The owner Keith, talked to me for half an hour about caring for my air plant and answered other questions that I had about my other plants at home. The plants at the Durham Garden Center are sooo well kept, I nearly tripped and fell looking at how shiny and green the monstera plants were, but Keith kept me from falling! LOL So be carefully because the plants there are so beautiful and well kept it could literally sweep you off your feet! Go on in there, and be apart of the DURHAM GARDEN CENTER family!!!! They also have a point system to get great discounts!!!

Based on others reviews, we visited about a month ago, on a Tuesday late morning. It was obvious, they’d received a shipment as most staff members were pricing. Not one person greeted us. I was looking for a few bushes and perennials. At one point, I found someone, who was watering, and asked where I could find heuchera, coral bells. He said, sorry,I don’t know. By then, I was fairly frustrated. I walked up to a guy who was checking in the shipment to ask if someone could help me. He sighed, put down his invoice and rudely asked what I needed, I asked about a specific bush ( I don’t remember the name). I do remember he corrected my pronunciation and said, nope we don’t have them. I said thanks, picked up one Rose of Sharon I found and checked out. The person who checked us out was friendly, thankfully.
I’ve worked in customer service most of my career. We always focused on the customer’s needs as without them, there’d be no business I retired four years ago and worked part time (25-30hrs/week) at my dream job- a garden center in Merrifield, VA. We were definitely customer focused. I guess I expected the same experience.

I guess my only complaint would be that a good portion of the plants were labeled as "assorted foliage." Maybe just take a little time to label the different hoyas and such, rather than put a tray out of assorted foliage just because they came off the truck that way. The store was cute though. The guy at the register was nice but not overly friendly and talkative, which is fine with me bc I can't stand someone bothering me while I'm minding my own business having some me time lol I bought a gigas and I can't wait to see it grow.

This place is a gem! They have such a huge selection of plants. They have everything you’ll need for said plant. The staff are amazing and so friendly!

Excellent customer service and great plant selection.

They have lots of interesting plants, pots, and related hardware. And a damn fine cactus selection!

What a lovely store! It's small but mighty. They have a great selection of beautiful plants and pots, as well as accessories like moss poles. I didn't catch the name of the girl that helped me but she was a delight as well.

I had an incredible experience today with Ryan! He was so patient and professional and knowledgeable and kind. He answered all of my questions and even took the time to let me show him all of my houseplants one by one on my phone. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience and because of him I will definitely be coming back here for all of my plant needs. Also- the plants are so beautiful here!!! I left thinking- wow I would love to just hang out here. Thank you Ryan and thank you Durham Garden Center!!!

Love this place, great selection of plants and the staff is very knowledgeable.

I am a cancer patient at Duke Cancer Center. I went to The nursery to help find plants for air filtration in my room- while I go through my treatment. Keith help me through the whole process. He was cordial, empathetic, professional, and took the time to help me select each and every plant while giving me an education on what to do and how to do it once I return home to my state of Georgia. he went above and beyond what I thought, or even asked once I walked into the nursery location. If you’re looking for a place, that’s gonna take you on an educational journey of plants that he treated like they were human and part of the family Go see him at Durham Nursery and you won’t be let down, but lifted up above and beyond all your expectations.

Respectfully,
