Snow's Garden Center did a great job on the landscaping to the rear of my house. They arrived on time each day, provided quality plants, installed them professionally, and hauled away all debris from the removal of dangerous trees. Would definitely work with them again.

We had a terrace wall and large stone steps installed in our back yard The work crew was friendly and did a great job. The designer who sold us the job checked on progress and conferred with us to make sure we were happy with progress. This was a GREAT! experience Thank you Snow's Garden Center for telling us what you would do and then exceeding our expectations! Happy customers--Mike and Maurine

Never met a Garden Center I didn't love, and Snow's is one of my all time favorites. The kindness of the Snow family is evident in everything there, from the beautiful plants, to the lovely pots, to the unique selection of tools and garden stuff, to the knowledgeable and very friendly staff, from Corbin to Zach and on down. Minutes from downtown on Avon Street, they do it all. And do it well. Killer radio show too

We are thrilled with our landscape project, which included installing a new patio and raised beds, along with planting new flowers and shrubs. The team worked hard, efficiently, professionally--and with great care to details. We have an oasis of peace and beauty in the city, thanks to Snow's!

I've bought many items from Snow's in the two years since I bought a house nearby. No ace gardener by any stretch, I've adopted and adapted to the furrows (of herbs and flowers) and foreboding (a kiwi tree.in Virginia?! See below--that progress occurred in two weeks!) that accompany each enjoyable purchase. This women-owned, family-staffed store trains and treats its workers well, and they treat you well in return. Some people complain that the prices are higher than elsewhere, but the expertise from and engagement with well-spoken staff are priceless--for everyone from beginner to botanist!
