Reviews of local pros in Columbus, Ohio

Very friendly and helpful with quality products for sale. Weird side note but “smells nice” keeps popping into my head right now lol. It’s a great nursery on the small side but I think that’s what leads to the extra helpfulness that I always feel like I get at this store:)

Came to look for some soil and some pods found some use one for like .60 that gave them to me for free hehe lovely place beautiful item’s and great people 💯🖖

Friendly, professional service. Well thought out indoor plant setup. According to needs of light. Also, a very adequate and reasonably priced indoor pot selection. Plenty of colors, themes and textures to match your decor.
I didn't check out the nursery, as I was there for indoor plant needs.

I went in to get a peace lily and I was blown away by the variety of plants in this small little garden center. The customer service was beyond exceptional. The employee took me around to find the perfect peace lily, a nice pot, and recommended dirt. She answered all my questions with expertise and now I feel confident I won't make the same plant caring mistakes. Later found out that she had only been working there for TWO WEEKS!!! The GM and other employee were also extremely kind and helpful. I will definitely be back in the future for all my plant needs!

Bonus points: the dog greeters were absolutely delightful and I'd give 6/5 stars if I could, because of them.

Wow I never write reviews, but this was worth it. The employees were so genuine, kind, and helpful. The entire atmosphere is awesome. I am a total plant amateur and walked out with my peace lily, a new pot, and soil very excited. The great music and adorable shop dog were an added bonus. 10/10 recommend.

This location is neat, clean, and well organized. The staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful Recommended

Anna, the cashier-slash-sales rep, answered all of my questions with kindness and exceptional customer service. She was sweet, attentive, and truly a pleasure to interact with. Jessica, on the other hand, was rude and abrupt.

I had one last question before checking out. It was Sunday, 6 p.m. I had entered around 5:45 p.m. to get a last-minute plant and maybe an accessory or two. At 6 p.m., when I went to ask my question, Jessica abruptly stopped me and said, "We are closed," essentially kicking me out.

Anna stepped in and assured me, saying, "No, it's okay, I can take care of you." This scenario perfectly illustrated poor leadership, management, and customer service. Despite this, Anna exemplified what Jessica should embody as a manager and leader of her store.

As someone who leads a team and manages an operation daily, I was deeply disappointed. It was disheartening to witness and left me at a loss for words. Having spent over $2,000 at the Upper Arlington location just 2 weeks ago, this treatment at the Grandview location was shocking.

A big shout out to Anna, who deserves not only recognition but a raise. She is the sole reason I completed my purchase and the only reason I would consider returning to this location.

Love, Love all the improvements at this Straders in Grandview!. The employees are super helpful and knowledgeable. It's a little store that packs a big punch with tons of indoor plants and fun, weird varieties too. They also have tons of different pots and they'll put your plant in pot w dirt too if you're in a hurry and buying a gift. And then the seasonal inventories are great. Right now beautiful hanging baskets. A great place to buy a gift.

The Shop on Riverside is large and has beautiful plants. The king location is just a neighborhood pop in for bits and bobs. Prices are on the whole high side for most of the products. However, you are paying for convenience if you can't wait for a shipment.

Amazing little shop. Prices seem fair and there is even a selection of native plants. Meeting Huckleberry was a bonus.

WOW! I Didnt think I WOULD EVER step into A straders again. After My interview with Racist and Persnickety People At Straders Dublin 2021. ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY AND UNCALLED FOR.
Stop by This location due to the Lovely Curb Appeal. The store is small, quaint and just homey. Where you would want to sit and read the book. Love the selection. And how they have house plants in light areas by their specific needs ( GENIUS ) with Post cards with its name and care requirements. The staff though 😭❤❤ The Ladies were so Sweet! Down to earth and such a pleasure to speak too! Felt WELCOMED the moment they saw me and said hello! Great selection of outdoor plants. ALL HEALTHY, LUSH AND BEAUTIFUL. EVEN THE CLEARANCE PLANTS WERE HEALTHY 👏🏾 FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. THANK YOU for changing my mind and showing that there are good people in the houseplant world.will be back for more plants. 🖤

Beautiful garden, but a bit pricey. Very nice staff.

This was my sister's and I's first time visiting here and we just wanted to make sure we left a review about how great of a help Paul was. He was so polite and accommodating. He went above and beyond to help us get out plants potted and went over the care instructions with us. We really appreciated him taking the extra time out of his day, it really made our first visit here special. Thank you again Paul for all your help.

A lovely plant store close to OSU campus. Lots of plant variety, there’s always something new here. I’ve seen cactus, succulents, herbs, and flowers. Provides gardening tools, seeds, plant pots, bird seeds, and more!

Great selection and variety of both indoor and outdoor plants, with most affordably priced. There were many different varieties of houseplants (succulents, calatheas, etc.) and herbs/vegetables to choose from! A much more diverse selection than I've seen most other places especially compared to big box stores.

Here was my latest haul of herbs/vegetables, also the nursery pots are often packed with a lot of plant even though the pots are small!

This is a great little garden center that has almost everything you could possibly need. There plenty of staff that are all very helpful. If you're looking for house plants I highly recommend this place as they had an enormous selection of indoor plants.

My only complaint is that this place needs to be larger. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Wish they had more plants and pots. They do have an extensive collection but I want more! The quality is there and longevity of plants…. Just want more!

This is a beautiful store with great variety and a good reputation so I was surprised when a bag of soil I bought was full of flying black bugs. These things happen so I went back to see if they would exchange the potting soil for an uninfected bag. No. And I was told that because I’d opened it they would not do so. "But I didn't find out it was infected until I opened it." Then I had to buy insect control for the plant I'd accidentally infected with their soil. Very disappointed. Photo of my plant in quarantine. All my other plants are cuttings!

I LOVE THIS STORE!! I have only shopped at the King Avenue location. It is always stocked with so many different varieties of perennials and annuals. They also have beautiful pots of all shapes and sizes. House plants and decorative items as well.
They have plenty of pre made and stunning flower pots if you just want to buy something lovely and sit it in your porch or patio. Easy peasey!

This visit, I was buying for my front porch and front steps for Fall mums, cornstalks, pumpkins and mini and giant, fancy squash.

Let me just tell you… SO HAPPY! What a selection!

We’ve had these for 3 weeks and look how fresh, vibrant and healthy it all still looks. Some mums haven’t even opened up all the way yet.

We bought two mumbos (3 color mix) and they are so gorgeous.

You will not ever be disappointed shopping here and they are always having great sales and I also follow them over on IG.

My new favorite nursery. You are just in awe of the selection from the moment you walk in. They have absolutely beautiful plants and so much to choose from. If you don't know where to start you can just ask one of their friendly staff members. They truly have everything you could want or need to beautify your home inside and out. And the prices are fantastic!

I always have a great time at Strader’s. I went this time to redecorate my front porch, and Jessica was wonderful to work with! She helped me choose the right pots, plants, and fillers that fit the space perfectly.

My porch feels warm and inviting — I’ve attached a picture so you can see how beautifully it turned out. I’ll definitely be back for future seasonal updates.
