Great selection of plants. However, beware if you're considering getting a job here. The owner is a piece of work. A former employee's final paycheck went missing, and instead of taking care of it for her like an employer should, he has been acting extremely unprofessional. He blames her for it and has been saying that her attempts to legally get what's rightfully hers is making HIM look bad. This can't be the first time in this company's history that a PAPER CHECK has gone missing.

This is somewhere I go ONLY IF I MUST. They will do in a pinch, but generally, the owner is rude, the employees do their best, but are often overwhelmed and abrupt.

Very friendly and helpful staff and the plants are so healthy and well cared for. I almost didn't come here because of the bad reviews but it was recommended to me so I gave it a shot and I'm so glad I did. Nobody there was even a little bit surly.

Oh my goodness. I had no idea how extensive the selection was going to be. It was amazing. I got a few things but will go back with a plan.

Surry Gardens has a good selection of well-grown plants. Unfortunately, you'd better know exactly what you need, because this business does not seem to believe in or care about customer service. Some of the front line employees are helpful. The management seems to despise the customers and doesn't make the slightest effort to be helpful or polite.

I used to work there totally understand why people had to wait because the owner is paying the same as if you worked at a convenient store. Also had to change my number after quitting because the OWNER decided to harass me. I would never work for or do business with Surry gardens again!
