I am baffled about the reviews disparaging the ladies up front. They have been nothing but kind and helpful to me. And as someone new to both NC and gardening, they've been great about giving me advice and helpful tips. Love this place and will go to them for all my gardening needs.

Plenty of variety of flowers, plants and trees. I bought 6 healthy, decent sized fruit trees for about 1/2 of a box store had listed. Also, GC's trees were taller. You can drive to the spot, load up and then stop up front and they come out. You don't have to load and unload to get rung up.

Went in today to look at some houseplants. Lisa was super patient with me and educated me on all of the houseplants I was interested in. Definitely made the experience great and I learned so much! Would give her 10 stars if I could.

We came by here a few months back looking for a tree for our backyard. We're newer to the state, so we had a few questions on what we should be looking at/what grows well etc. We had done some research online, as well. 1) the ladies up front were so rude. They provided no helpful information but were quick to shoot down anything we said we were looking into. The shop dog was the only upside to this. 2) We were told they help with loading and also offer delivery.

The lot is huge, lots of options which was awesome. We picked a tree, called up front and asked for help with loading it up, only to be told they let the grounds crew go home early due to sprinkling in the morning, even though it was sunny and dry when we arrived. They didnt notify us of this when we arrived, so we left with a smaller tree than we wanted since I was not driving all the way back out. If you know what you want and dont need to talk to them, great, but if you need any sort of help go literally anywhere else.

Drove way out of the way to look for some nicer plants. Big mistake. Very rude ladies up front for no reason. Treated my husband and I like we were wasting their tine. Seriously blown away by the rude attitude! There are other places that appreciate our business and that's who will get our money.
