Reviews of English Gardens (Gardener)

chris watson

Great selection of flowers and very knowledgeable staff

Kelly H2O

Horribly disappointed with the quality of the tree I Purchased yesterday. The employee said to put it in water within an hour of him cutting the stump and I put it in water within 30 minutes. 70% of the needles have fallen off since I brought it home. It’s a balsam fir. It’s supposed to hold its needles. I’ve had a tree for over a month and never had this many needles fall off. From the pictures you can see that halfway up the branch to the trunk is completely bare of needles. I will never buy a tree from English Gardens again this is horrible. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot instead.

Friendly workers, clean establishment, and a huge variety of products

Nikki Jenkins

Excellent full service garden center. Patio furniture associates Erin and Amy are fabulois!

Jan Reichel

Just got done trying to return a set of lights I purchased about two weeks ago. Paid $25.99 and they stopped working. Because I didn’t keep my receipt and I cut the tags off, the manager said he didn’t know if these were bought at this store. Moral of the story keep your receipt. And English Gardens will never see my smiling face again.

Tim Tepatti

We got 50% off our Christmas tree! The employees were friendly and easy to deal with, and the store was super easy to navigate. They even tied down the Christmas tree on top of our car for us. We've shopped here for years and will definitely be coming back again!

JG P

Beautiful and unique garden options with knowledgeable staff.

Cornelia Balsam-van Mourik

Good selection. Some prices are a bit high.

Northstar Mangusta

This is the first time buying mulch from EG. This is not the vendor they should buy from again. The mulch had stones in it, never saw that before! Had some pretty big pieces of wood too. Next year back to Scotts. How in the world did the stones get through the shredding machine with out tearing it up? I know it is sold by cubic feet so why would they put stones in it? I'm going to take my bag of stones and pieces of wood back to see is they have had any complaints.

Petru Lazarescu

Julie Bozich

We went in to buy our first tree. They were extremely helpful and friendly.

Steve Litwin

Great store, everything that a gardener could want. This store seems a little more spread out than a couple of the other ones that I've been in, there's a bit more room to move around. Good sales on different items all the time, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Not happy I have been getting my mulch and my daughter also for 10 or more years.You have nothing I can mix with what I have .Very bad replacement. Also buy other things when getting mulch. Was big reason I came.

Paria Hollenkamp

I recently got married, and went to English Gardens of Royal Oak to have them create our floral arrangements. I was not looking to spend a lot of money on flowers, yet I wanted to have something beautiful and elegant and was nervous about what my budget would get me. I was skeptical that English Gardens would be able to provide the elegance I wanted without spending too much, because typically they are a little pricey...However they not only delivered within budget, but exceeded my expectations. It helps to not be super particular about having specific flowers that cost an arm and a leg. I worked with florist Brittany, who completely understood what I was going for. She listened, and let me be picky where I needed to be, was patient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I bought my own vases, votives, and hanging votives online for the same or less $$ it would have cost to rent them from English Gardens to help with the budget. I also bought some gold Ting from Michael's with a coupon, to help fill the arrangement and give it some of our wedding colors. Brittany created a mock-up for me to give me an idea of what to expect, however when I got to the wedding, it was so much more beautiful than the mock-up. We received so many compliments, and our photos look absolutely amazing. Thank you Brittany and the English Gardens Royal Oak crew for creating an exceptional experience.

Luke Permoda

Very cool, got my plum tree ❤️

Briggittee Pringle

Excellent help with buying a Japanese Maple!

Sondra Jenkins

Always a source of inspiration!

Matt Kennedy

Highest quality selection around. Extremely helpful staff. Landscapers get an extra discount on top of the sales prices!!

Carl Gregg

Love English Gardens , tremendous selection of fresh, healthy plants , any kind of accessories related to gardening ( fertilizers, pesticides , seeds, they even have a plant "pharmacist" for info.

Milind Jagre

Friendly staff. A little bit expensive than I expected.

Janet Agresta

Always the best!

Vera DeVera-Dalrymple

Yes, it's pricey but so far, I haven't been able to find another garden store that has such an extensive collection of indoor houseplants, right down to 2in pots for miniature gardens. They carry interesting varieties of plants and pottery, and other home garden decor, that you can't find at big box stores. For that reason, I prefer going here when I know I need to source decor for an event.

Jim Myke

Very informed, answered all my questions, I like going there never a question they can't answer

Aaron Olson

They tend to be a bit pricey but the staff is helpful and they have an amazing selection.

Carolyn I

Love going here to buy indoor plants, they have variety and staff members are very helpful.

Jim M

They are more expensive price wise than other comparable nursery shops.

Lori Boufford

Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful items for the inside of your home as well as the outside. Quality merchandise throughout. Bright, inviting atmosphere.

Kim Walsh

Always see something I want! Got an on sale herb.

David Talucci

Plants were in good condition, some varieties were sold out,

Logarathinam RR

Good

Linda Handran

Great selection. A bit pricey.

Brad Giaimo

Very knowledgeable and helpful. They stand by their products. Not cheap but in my opinion worth the extra dough.

Jerad Kays

Very helpful in replacing Christmas lights. They worked with me trying to figure out the problem and made recommendations. I ended up fixing a pre-lit tree thanks to them.

Holly Green

English Gardens has a good selection but thats where its ends. I tried their DIY landscaping service. Basically you go in and fill out some paperwork, give them photos of your house with all the sites measured, tell them what kind of plants you like, etc. You purchase a $200 gift card and then they design your landscaping for you (within a week or so). It sounded great since I wanted to re-do most of my landscaping. Well, the process was horrible... I filled out all of my info, gave them very detailed explanations of everything, measured everything out, etc. I went to drop off the paperwork and none of the designers were available. They told me that I'd be assigned someone and that person would call me. It was about a week later that I got a phone call from my designer, the voicemail said he needed to discuss a couple minor things and to call him back or come in. So I called back about 10 min. after the call and he was busy so I left a message to call me back. He never called me back again so I went into the store 2 days later and talked everything over with him in person. At that time he said it would be about a week and a half because they were very busy. Fast forward a month later, I never heard back and knew I had given him ample time. So I called into the store and was told that my designer no longer worked there (and no one let me know). I spoke with another manager and he told me that they would track down my paperwork and call me back after the holiday, at least by tuesday or wednesday (I called the thursday before memorial day weekend). It is now almost 2 weeks since that phone call and I still haven't heard back. I told 4 of my other friends about the program (before this) and they were super interested, but now they won't be getting any of our business. Last note, their prices are very high. I would suggest getting plants at Lowes (not Home Depot) because they have a great selection. If you can't find what you need there go to Goldner Walsh in Pontiac, they are AWESOME and helped me a lot.

Sharon Busch

This location is better than the one closer to our home People are friendlier and more knowledgeable too Better selection in trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials Definitely worth the trip ! !

Meg Ferron

Had a terrible customer service issue with the Royal Oak location, after spending thousands of dollars here over the past 3 years, they would not honor a $28 tree that died because I didn't have a receipt. The gal who helped me was unbelievably condescending. Sorry that it happened and am taking my business elsewhere as is all of my family (who have also been loyal customers)

Tina Wong

I absolutely LOVE English Gardens-Royal Oak! Their staff is knowledgeable, courteous, & extremely helpful. If something is not quite right, they will make it right. Sign up for one of their seminars and you will learn something new. Join their Garden Club & sign up for their e-mails to save $$$ on sales & specials.

Denice Porchia

Visited with hubby and he thought prices were pricey however plants were beautiful and worth cost

Dawn Haggart

Very helpful staff. Really knowledgeable. Bit pricey but tins of variety and stock.

Sarath Kamalakkannan

Knowledgeable and helpful attendants at the store!

Christine Shedlock

Pretty to look at but really expensive. Plus I was there for a good hour when it wasn't busy (maybe 30 people in the store) and not one employee asked if I needed anything. Too busy talking to each other.

LINDA WALKER

Staff is very helpful. Good selection

Becky Arce

Excellent garden shop, very knowledgeable personnel, beautiful plants, patio furniture and accessories.

Chris Kneale

It's an airy and interesting store with a great selection of plants, patio furniture, and outdoor landscaping items. The people are always friendly, and the plant doctors have always had good advice on what to do with any ailing house plants we may have.

Patrick Brooks

I think for the most part it is the same stuff as at Lowe's and Home Depot just for a higher price.

Cathy Smith

Great. Traffic is very busy, but English Gardens and other places I visit in the area makes it worth the battle

diane brown

Staff is always so helpful

Douglas Thoel

Tremendous selection, great place to shop, if you're rich, very pricey.

Nicole Micelli

Love it here! Purchased beautiful plants and Vera Bradley handbags all on sale!

Derek Blount

Found some great plants in sale. Also found a solution for the miss in part of my yard. Great people there.

Phil Mueller

Very pleasant and helpful plant return/repurchase experience this evening. Thanks!

alisa ritchie

Such s large place with so much variety and organization that was helpful. However, it was pricey with coupons they wouldn't honor. Also, it was difficult to find someone to ask questions

Joseph Johnson

Called yesterday, and it took being on hold three times for a total of 13 minutes for them to answer a question (about plant availability). Am currently on hold, and have been 'transferred' three times. Each time I'm transferred, I'm put on hold until the call bounces back to their customer service line. I know this is a busy time of year, but either they're incredibly short-staffed, or just don't put any priority on answering the phone. I don't have time to drive to this location to find out if they do or don't have one plant. Took me 19 minutes to get an answer

Christian Curtis

Great selection and service.

在慕尼黑有個叫English Garten 真係好大、好舒服、好多人同狗狗都玩得好開心。不過大到行唔曬之餘，見到個中國塔覺得好雞。但杯雪糕應該係所有德國景點中最平嘅雪糕。窮遊的朋友記得去食。
