    The guy who owns this place is the most arrogant person I have ever felt with. The girls are all the opposite, very helpful and knowledgeable. I just was there today for coloration for my pond. he was sitting on a stool and I asked him where the coloration packets were. He questioned why I use those and I told him because they are convenient. He pointed to them which I didn't see, and he never got up off the stool just said " stick your hand out getting warmer almost got them etc. Never got off his stool. He is a total jerk, and would never make it in my business which is insurance, the rudest a -hole

    Oak Park has much to offer and not just plants. They have garden decor, including miniature garden supplies, pond and fountain products and plants, pots, urns, trees, bushes... They have top notch workers who are very willing to help you with any question or project. I highly recommend Oak Park. I go there every year to get certain plants I can't find elsewhere.

    I found butterfly flowers so butterflies will have something to eat. Flowers for bees will have to wait until next year. The people there share knowledge and advice. Good looking, healthy plants for both inside and outside. I'll definitely go back!

    We have been going to Oak Park since they began decades ago. Rich and his wife are always friendly and take time to explain and answer any of your questions. Large selection of healthy flowers and landscaping plants. One of the lowest priced businesses when it comes to install or planting you trees and shrubs. Most other places charge twice as much. Great place to wander around and smell the roses.

    Very nice and helpful staff for new landscape design. Looking forward to the change! Plants we will be using look healthy and beautiful. Now starts the hard work for us 😏🤔. All has been done now & looks great. Weather has been unkind causing some plant problems they help us with what we need. Now on to the next area!

    Very friendly and helpful. A lot of variety to look at and choose from. It was our first time going and we were impressed. Our boys loved all of the fountain features and especially Kit-Kat the lounging cat. 😊

    Visiting Oak Park Garden Center is a treat my kids and I look forward to every Spring! With all the beautiful waterfall and pond displays, the Koi, and the gorgeous plants all around, it feels more like a relaxing walk through a beautiful park than a shopping trip. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We have been visiting for many years and it's always an amazing experience!

    We stopped to get tadpoles for our fish pond. They had a good supply of large bullfrog tadpoles. We then ended up buying a small koi for our pond because of the colors. They had a good selection of koi and fish in various price ranges. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

    The lady I met there had to be the friendliest and most helpful person I've ever met. I didn't know what I was gonna get when I got there and she literally walked me through the entire place personally. My fish tank is now set up with some of the plants and rocks she sold me and I couldn't be happier

    Purchased koi for our established koi pond. Two of four died within 3 days. Called immediately & told “we’ve had a lot of calls about koi dying…” instructed to put in freezer until we could bring them in. When we brought them in were met with one argument after another & then offered gold fish replacements for the $30/ea koi. I should have referred back to the first comment they made when I called. That statement says it all. Will stick with Pond Guys; koi shipped & never lost a one.
    8/9/25 - THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT RIGHT.

    This place has everything you need for creating a koi pond in your back yard! From the fish, to the plants, chemicals and knowledge. Adrianna helped us out, she explained everything so well, she knows her stuff! Shout out to her, we will definitely be back because of her!! I can't wait to get started on my pond and come get hooked up by Oak Park.
