Phantom Gardener sold me this Beech Tree about 15 years ago. It has grown into a magnificent beautiful tree. See my photo.

I was searching for a native (less invasive) wisteria. The staff were very friendly and helpful. She radioed in to determine if they had it in stock and walked me to the location because she wanted to know the location for future reference. Nice. The price was moderate but I was able to find exactly what I wanted so the value is high. I also purchased an azalea, and some annuals for porch pots. All the flowering plants I saw were very healthy with loads of buds. I will go back.

My partner and I drive over an hour every single year to visit Phantom Gardener because they are hands down the best! It's great knowing that everything available is sustainably sourced, and on top of that, the quality of the plants themselves are wonderful. Best part of this place though is the staff. Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful!

This place is great! They specialize in quality plants and superb customer service. Julianne is wonderful. She gets the customer what the customer wants. A pleasure to deal with. All the staff is great as well. I tell all of you to go there and see the variety and the quality selection for yourself. I appreciate them and look forward to going each and every spring for my special plants
