“All the employees there are highly knowledgeable and friendly”

My favorite place to go for plants. They have a variety of plants/flowers that are of good quality. All the employees there are highly knowledgeable and friendly. In 10 minutes an employee picked out the perfect arrangement for my flower box. It’s absolutely gorgeous, they are very talented. I also appreciate that they teach classes.

“Absolutely amazing customer service, and beautiful plants!”

My office was last minute looking for Valentine’s Day gifts for our colleagues. When I came into For Garden’s Sake, Morgan was eager to help! I gave her our price range and she laid out different options for me; I was a little weary as I don’t have a lot of experience with plants, but how experienced and friendly she was reassured me. They were able to put together and deliver almost 100 beautiful plants and pots in just a few days. Absolutely amazing customer service, and beautiful plants! I would recommend For Garden’s Sake to everybody!

“Hands down the BEST garden center I have been to”

Hands down the BEST garden center I have been to. It’s so much better to support smaller businesses like this place than big brand name stores. The staff is incredibly helpful with answering questions and extremely knowledgeable, not forgetting to mention how kind they have always been to me and my family. They’ve taught me many things about each of the plants I’ve gotten there. I can’t say enough good things about them.
