Eaton Grove Nursery is a high quality, local, family business. They sell healthy plants when they will do well and not before. You can purchase plants ahead of the growing season and pick them up after the last frost date. They stock all varietys and types of plants for our growing zone. I have added to the beauty and value of my property with trees and plants from this Nursery.

So I feel weird reviewing this place as I do no know anything about plant and gardens.but here goes! I came here with my boyfriend who is all into plants and has taken me to a few other garden places this year. I will say.this is the nicest place we have been! Not only is it large, so I assume it has a great selection, but it is very well layed out, had everything clearly labled, and as for the plants.they all looked very well maintained.
All of the staff that we encountered where very helpful and friendly as well as knowledgable! One thing that I really liked, as I am the one to pull the wagon around. Eaton Grove had plenty of wagons, carts and flatbeds available. I didnt like at other places having to look around for a cart or wait for people to be finished with the one they were using. Parking was very easy and had plenty of spaces as well. It was cool to see peacocks hanging out by the green houses and walking around the property! Eaton Grove is a great place to go for all your gardening needs!

First off, they close at 4pm which is a bit ridiculous. I went to use a coupon that would work four days from now. The coupons are for spending lots of money here that I have saved up. Instead of accommodating me they told me I would have to come back. Therefore, I had to put all the plants back. Eaton is a far drive for most and their prices aren't as good as they used to be so won't be coming back especially for the lack of help by staff.

I'm super disappointed I paid over 500 dollars for roses that were dead every single plant I bought has not lived. Home depot flowers were perfect. Some staff had no knowledge and others were seasoned. Overall I think there is cheaper and better options.

This is my favorite place to go plant shopping! The staff is so friendly. They have every plant you could ever imagine. There are goats and peacocks on the property, which is so fun for the kids. I highly recommend!

Unbelievable I bought (5) 5 to 6 feet tall blue spruces. I paid to have them brought out and planted. They called me to set a day to have planted and than informed me I would need to rent a auger. I have relandscaped 15 different properties and never have I heard of a tree place charging you for planting and than expect you to pay for equipment they should already have. I already paid the fee to have them planted than they want me to pay for a auger ridiculous. Update I canceled order found a private grower in Cheyenne that is delivering and planting with his own auger 12 trees vs 5 for $100.00 more. Shop aroumd
