Employees were kind, helpful and knowledgeable upon entry. Our interaction was with a wonderful young man, Sean Holland, Annuals/Prennials Manager. He was outstanding. Super smart and was an active-listener to what my husband and I were needing. Highly recommend.

Hot, hot day in the rock and landscape area outside. I just came for a 2 gallon bucket of rocks. I met Vincent in the area and he was extremely friendly and helpful along with being patient with someone who wanted so little. Great employee! His help was much appreciated.

Report
They have good selection of plants and trees (when available) but prices are higher than competitors. There is a lot of room for improvement in customer service. They took forever to schedule our tree delivery and when they finally were going to deliver them we received a call that they couldn't find all the trees and could not replace them because they were out of stock.

This was my first time doing my annual garden shopping at this Suburban location and I was very impressed! It's the end of the first week of May when many other areas garden stores are out of items and plants and they still had everything I hoped to find in stock. Employees were restocking everything as I walked through the aisles and were able to answer every question they were asked. They had all the blooming annuals, herbs, the variety of tomatoes I wanted, and large bags of Happy Frog potting soil I needed as well. Checking out was very efficient and there were plenty of friendly cashiers ready to move everyone through as quickly as possible. I will definitely be back to this Suburban location next year!
