Always good. So many things to look at and buy. Went in for weed killer and fertlizer. It was very busy but a young man came over to help, without me asking. Very helpful and seemed knowledgeable.

This place is heavenly! Its outdoor nursery area is so large and lush, you cant see all the way from one end to the other. Pretty much anything your heart desires is here. Be sure to bring a hat as the space is largely unshaded. Highly, highly recommend!

For gardening needs big and small, consider getting out of town a little bit and visiting Green Acres - its the place to be! So many options for sprucing up your yard or garden. Literally acres of trees, veggies, flowers, and other supplies to make refreshing your garden easy.

Pretty disappointed ...I went there a couple of weekends ago and the person who assisted us was really helpful and nice -- he wasnt even a sales person, but he did his best to give us recommendations. That experience was great! Buuuut, one apple spoils the whole bunch.Today I called to get a recommendation and the first person was polite and transferred me after I asked for plant recommendations as they were not a sales person. The sales person who did answer was very short and unfriendly. As I started explaining what my situation was and what I was looking for, they interrupted me mid-sentence and said that it was impossible to do that over the phone. They could not possibly make any recommendations over the phone and I needed to come in. Granted, I was going to come in, but I wanted to get some recommendations first, look them up online, then come in and buy them. Before I could even explain that to the sales person, they cut me off saying they couldnt help me with that and I needed to look at some magazines before coming in. I dont know how they could have possibly known what I was asking for since they didnt let me finish my question before cutting me off.I asked if I could offer some feedback and told them that its not really helpful customer service to interrupt someone before they can even ask for what they want and had they waited for me to explain, they would have understood what I was asking for. The sales person did apologize, but not for interrupting me, rather for my feelings being hurt. Thats not an apology. After I explained that that was poor customer service, I will say they were more receptive to my feedback, but they did say they were busy. Well, I dont know how its the customers fault that the salesperson is busy. Im sure lots of people are busy at their jobs, but that doesnt give them the right to be disrespectful and rude.I have worked in customer service for a long time and never behaved that way. If the situation were reversed, I would have let the customer finish their explanation and question, then said, I understand what you are trying to do, but let me invite you to come into the store and show you some plants that might be of interest to you. I would be able to help you better if you are able to come in person and see some plants for yourself. Rather than just cutting the customer off and saying its impossible to help you over the phone. If thats the case, why answer the phone at all? I truly dont think its impossible to recommend plants over the phone. Thats just ludicrous. It might not be ideal, but it certainly is not impossible. Not to mention, some people might not be able to physically go to the store especially right now. I dont think it would have hurt if they gave me a handful of recommendations. And if you cant recommend a couple of items over the phone, then you must not be very proficient in your job. Personally, it just sounds like they didnt want to even be at their job and were bothered that they even had to assist a customer.Furthermore, if the store simply does not make recommendations over the phone, then they need to let all their staff members know that so I dont explain myself and get transferred thinking Im about to get helped. I was already set on spending a lot of money with Green Acres since Im having my whole yard done which is 5000 square feet. But I guess Ill be finding another nursery instead.

Prices are great, always fully staffed, and everyone is nice. They also get a new shipment everyday so it’s exciting no matter how often I go! I honestly have been going a few times a month for a year now and I still love it. Also, local family owned business! Side note, they have some really cool rare plants for wayyy under the price they should be at.

Green Acres Nursery has a lot of plants 🪴. No matter what you are looking for they generally have it. They are a little more expensive than say Home Depot, but they have a wider selection.Another bonus is their one year plant guarantee. Although we have had them not honor the guarantee once, even though we had the receipt. They wanted the original planter that came with the plants. We throw those out when we plant the plants.Even with the the above problem, Green Acres is our favorite nursery.

Green Acres is why we need local businesses, they have the knowledge you cant find in a box store, the charm and the unique selections that are missing in a garden center of a supermarket, and above all, theyre on your way home. Shop here and feel good about more than just what youre buying.

I liked it! Everyone was friendly and the selection was good. I did buy a cactus that said $2.50 and then rang up for $6.50 which was a bit dissapointing that the sign and container alluded to the cheaper price. Any ways the succulents were good, a few of them damaged, sadly. Beautiful place and the charts telling you when was the best time to plant vegetables and from what. (seed, plant starter, etc) Charts are very handy!!

This place should charge for parking thats where the money really is. I would imagine that the time it takes to drive to the other ones would be the same as getting a spot. I would assume the chances of doge hitting 5,000 are better than getting a parking spot.

I am writing to express HUGE thanks to sales associate, Jeremy. I am new to gardening and came in last week to purchase 35 plants, shrubs and trees for my backyard project. Anticipating that it could take me half a day to find and pick out my plants, I asked if someone could help me. Jeremy to the rescue! This guy is awesome! He was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and oh so helpful.He helped me to find the items I was looking for, assisted me in choosing them, and even loaded them on the carts for me.I was dreading this experience and I walked away with a smile on my face!Kudos to Jeremy!

I had the leave Green Acres Nursery a review. We got there with 10 mins til close to look at mini succulents. They have a great selection and obviously ended up going pass their closing time trying to decide. The atmosphere is great and the employees there all give a welcoming vibe. We asked a girl to point us to the vases (after closing) and she stopped what she was doing, took us there, and even made some recommendations. No once did she rush us and im sure she had plenty to do. You dont expect this type of service nowadays. We wanted to look at indoor palm trees for the house so we will be back very soon. Kudos to everyone there, my daughter left laughing with a smile on her face with her baby plants and that is truly priceless, especially during these trouble times. 5☆

Review №73

I’m an avid gardener. I have something like 50 houseplants, all of which are thriving. I’ve been growing plants for nearly 15 years. That being said, every single plant I’ve purchased from green acres has died. The houseplants are typically just a cluster of cuttings carelessly potted, some of them not even rooted. They’re often overwatered and have root rot upon purchase. Management has a no return policy on houseplants, probably because they’re aware of the terrible quality of their houseplants. I will never purchase a plant from this company again, and will avidly recommend against them. Save your money, go to Home Depot or Lowe’s.

Review №78

A lady in houseplants on 2/22 at around 2:30PM was PMSing. I had a question regarding a houseplant that has developed hydrophobic soil; right after I water it I stick my hand in the soil and it’s dry. The water just sinks to the bottom and the soil doesn’t absorb any of it. I was wondering if they sold wetting agents or if she recommended any solutions and from the moment she picked up the phone the tone of her voice was angry and rude like she just wanted to get this call over with. She stopped me mid sentence several times and just made annoyed sound affects and asked me to repeat myself because apparently she didn’t understand. She also never answered my question on whether or not they sell wetting agents and how to use them to improve dry soil that no longer absorbs water; she told me to stop reading articles online in a very assertive and annoyed tone. I’m a regular customer who refers my family and friends to Green Acres and won’t shop at Green Acres anymore. She said her name was Ry and she clearly hates her job and is a rude individual. Please terminate her because she scares away customers not attracts them.
