They have a good selection and decent prices. I like that I can order the mulch and they will load it into my car in the drive thru.

Soooooo overpriced! Selling hanging ferns for $29 when Home Depot a mile away sells for $10. And the list goes on! Additionally, they toot giving back to the community but fall short in offering any type of military discount. Next year, Home Depot it is - great selection + 10% discount.

I loved going to Valley View Farms as a child and now my son loves going with me. Most of our tree ornaments are from them. I get so many compliments and questions about our decorations every year. My 5 year old son is a HUGE lover of trains. It's one of the only places around that has a good selection and you can actually see the products in motion in their garden before purchase.

I've only had great customer service experiences. Once there was a huge moth on one of the flowers and an associate actually called my son over to show him. She explained what type of moth it was and took his picture with it. It was just something that was above and beyond that she didn't have to do. We go here to actually shop and purchase things for our garden and home. Walking around and showing my son all of the cool things is just an added bonus.

They do a lot for the children even though it's a retail store. The people complaining about them not having things set up for the kids should take their children to an actual farm if they're looking for activities. That stuff isn't typically feee but what Valley View does offer is. I don't know why some expect so much from a retail store. It's not a play ground lol. If you're going there to shop you won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best nurseries in Maryland. They have a wide selection of trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs and annuals. Great pond equipment and materials. A smaller selection of hardscaping materials like rocks and boulders. Koi pond fishes and water plants and lillies. incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Valley View Farms. Still doing it right out here in Baltimore County. It's spring and that means a trip to Valley View to load up on fresh flowers, hanging baskets, seeds, herbs, and all things gardening. How will your garden grow?

I love Valley View Farms but today I purchased a boulder and my truck was damaged in the process of the associates loading it into the trunk. There has to be a better system in place when loading these boulders into customers vehicles. Now I'm stuck with the damage for a $70 boulder.

This place is amazing. The flowers and vegetable plants looked extremely healthy. They have a building just for water gardens and bird feeders. The staff were also extremely helpfully with what type of grass seed and conditioner was best for my lawn.

My favorite go to garden center. Valley View Farms has a knowledgeable and helpful staff. The garden center carries everything you could possibly imagine to create a beautifully landscaped yard. They carry a wide variety of pond supplies, aquatic plants and fish. There Christmas Shop is beautiful with everything you could imagine for decorating your tree. 4/2/2022 - Still the highest quality plants around.

You get what you pay for so pay for the best. Valley View Farms never fails to amaze with their beautiful plant selection. The outdoor living area is awesome they have a large selection of patio sets and outdoor decor. They carry all of your hardscaping needs and pond needs too.

If you love plants, you will love this place. They have TONS of roses to choose from, including many David Austin varieties. They also have a great selection of peppers, herbs, and perennials. They have trees. They have great quality planters. Looking forward to coming back for pepper palooza in a week or two! I have bought roses here two seasons in a row, the Eternal Flame roses i bought last year shot up from 2 feet tall to literally 8 feet tall in one season!

The selections will have you're head spinning (in a good way). There are enough options to redo the in and exterior of your home or office, regardless of your skill level. We came a little too early and there weren't many shrubs to pick from. But beware, mostly everything is OVER PRICED! The staff are friendly, they speak to you. But they didn't offer or ask if we needed any help?!?! But, I could ask for help if I needed it.

There is a large parking lot with plenty of space. The entrance and exit area gets super congested super quick. There is another shopping area (small strip mall) adjacent to the nursery that causes some of the congestion. They also sell fish and pond supplies as well as just about anything you could think of for outdoor beautification.

Always a great stop for plants and flowering plants, but at this time of the year it also boasts it's International Christmas Village. Monday morning it was packed with families shopping for Christmas odds and ends. Anything and everything Christmas can probably be found here. We checked out the coocoo clocks and some flowers and herbs before we left.

Massive building and huge parking lot with some HC spaces. Andy Nelson BBQ used to be located here, but has moved up the street to its own location and the deli that was here has been replaced by vending machines.

Great selection of plants aquatics and hardwoods. We come often for aquatic plants and supplies we cannot find elsewhere. Prices are a bit high but sales people are very knowledgable. Could use more parking and accessibility as others have stated. We always know when Christmas is around the corner with the best display in the area at Valley View Farms. 2021 is no different! J

Our go-to for all things seasonal and plant related. We absolutely love Valley View Farms. The staff are so kind and helpful with any questions we may have. We are able to find beautiful glass ornaments here and love to buy one each visit while the Christmas shop is setup. They are pet-friendly and love to see the pups when we visit. Great isles make for easy maneuvering with the dogs.

I love coming here. It just puts you in the most festive mood. Christmas decor, fall, Halloween- name it. Everyone is always in a good mood from the employees to the patrons. My favorite time is Christmas time to visit. Beautiful trees and ornaments! My family went this time for pumpkins and we were not disappointed. I will always come back and I recommend you visit.

Great selection and service. A little pricey but you get things here you don't get at cheaper big box or chain stores.

Bottom Line: Huge garden center with a great selection and reasonable prices. As a gardener I had been wanting to go to Valley View Farms for a long time and I finally made it! I was so excited I nearly wet my plants! I visited during the very busy spring planting season so of course the garden center was bustling. But even with it being peak season the parking lot wasn't too crazy and the checkout line moved quickly.

The selection at Valley View Farms is huge! I couldn't get over all the varieties of annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees they had. I spent most of my time looking at annuals and perennials. The huge selection of coleus and heucheras were among my favorites. I loved seeing the pretty foliage on both varieties. I was also blown away by the massive collection of petunias they had.

Beyond plants I enjoyed looking at their large selection of pottery and various other goodies inside like doormats, wind chimes, patio furniture and such. I departed with an awesome blue crab doormat and various plants. As far as prices go, I find them to be reasonable. They are more than my favorite low-overhead roadside stand and roadside stand-like places but definitely less expensive than Homestead Gardens in Severna Park and Davidsonville. If I lived closer I am sure I would visit more often. I hope to make it back to Valley View Farms this fall or Christmas to indulge in their seasonal goodies.

Great selection. Pricey, but convenient and great staff. Has anyone had an issue with their straw coming with grass seed in it? We bought a couple bales, and I thought it would be good quality because they keep it in a shed. However, the place I spread it (to cover flower seeds) is coming up all grass. And the leftover is sprouting a lot of grass. Probably hard to control cross-contamination in a place like that. We haven't been planting grass seed and are out in the woods, so I don't think it's us.

Why are most of the staff rude and unhelpful? It makes me wonder if it's not a nice place to work.

Of all the stupid things, they don't take cash because of Covid? That doesn't follow any CDC guidelines! They only take credit cards. Never going back there again. Went to Home Depot for my plants paid cash and almost half the price of Valley View Farms. Old Mr Ford must be rolling in his grave!

After building multiple garden "rooms" on our 6 acre oasis, I realized that almost everything we've bought (over 50 plants, a fountain, numerous decorative planters etc.) from this place, including the koi! It's a very large and VERY expensive garden center. Customer service and return policy's are virtually non-existent There are Much better garden centers in Baltimore county. I would give zero stars but this site won't allow me to.

I sometimes buy a Christmas tree from a local Volunteer Fire Department to support their vital service to the community, but some years, I am late to the party, and I must go with reliable, and that is VVF. Within two weeks of Christmas Day, their inventory was ample, and I found a very nice tree in no time. One of the staff working the Christmas tree area quickly recognized that I had made my selection, picked up the tree and gave me the tag so that I could pay for it - registers are also outside, so I did not have to wait in the que that was lined outside to get inside- not that the line was unbearably long, but it was nice to be able to accomplish this whole task while outside this year - I pulled around to the loading zone and in less than five minutes spent in the loading zone, I tipped the guys and drove off.

I guess their prices are generally considered a little higher than other places but to me there is a value in knowing if I choose to go to VVF, almost certainly, they will have what I am looking for, and often, a nice selection from which to choose. There is value (to me, at least) in that reliability -- and their inventory generally is consistently high quality. Happy Holidays To All!

This is my personal favorite place to go for my outdoor planting and seasonal holiday needs. All the items are displayed nicely both indoors and outdoors. There are a good amount of staff around to help you. The prices are a tad high but not unreasonable. They even allow dogs in which I love.

Staff was helpful. Place was pretty crowded. They did allow people in numbers to keep the social distancing in place which was good.

This business has made it their policy to be customer UNFRIENDLY. I looked online before making the long ride to Cockeysville, only to find a sign saying they will not accept cash. Credit cards only. Nothing online.but they blame the ever convenient COVID-19. To top things of.they will accept no returns. So you pay full blown retail+ prices and credit in top of it.

To the Management: Have you thought that less fortunate folk might NOT have credit cards? Much less the means to make return trips? Oh yeah forget that as you don't accept returns. Either accept what the US Govt declares as legal tender or close your doors.

Valley View Farms is the perfect combination of a boutique and a more commercial nursery. They will surely have what you are looking for (and much more!)-- I always walk away with more than I planned, but their plants are in pristine collection. They have a wide variety of more common and rarer plant specimens for indoors and outdoors, so it's perfect for anyone's needs.

Their staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They can answer any questions you might have about the plants their or help if you have any issues with plants at home. I've even seen some people bring their plants in and have the in-house experts diagnose the problem! I've never seen this anywhere else. If you are looking for something super specific, you can always call ahead and ask!

Meeting up with our kids, friends and Godchildren at Valley View has been a long running tradition but each year it seems the place is becoming more of a Boutique style shop - big price tags for not a whole lot. Gone are the days where you could grab some ice cold cider (hard or sweet) right from the barrel then load hubby's arm with pumpkins for the pay one price for all you can carry. Sadly the place has lost its charm for me but the kids still love seeing all the trees, each a different theme and of course the display of miniature houses but each time we come certain sections seem like they aren't well managed and stocked (candles for example) and you can never find assistance if you need it. Looks like the time has come to switch up and venture outside our comfort zone.

Being a mortiocultrist (I kill plants); my husband and I decided to go the experts at Valley View Farms. We wanted to get a plant for our daughter who was starting a new job as a Kindergarten teacher. Well, we found the expert and she helped us pick out a plant that would be hardy and not require a lot of work. We purchased a Chinese Evergreen plant. Our daughter was thrilled.
