Reviews of The Mustard Seed at Halla Nursery (Gardener)

No matter what I stop in for they are extremely friendly, and helpful. The quality of their plants and variety keep me coming back

Carts were not the best and prices a little higher than others

Kate Swanson

I love this place! They have the most beautiful flowers and plants. They even have donkeys you can feed. I didn't like all the prices but the nursery is most definitely worth doing business with.

Saima Hawley

Frustrated that they do not stand behind their product. Today, I called a year after I purchased $200+ in a variety of perennials for a small garden and they refused to replace the plants. A year after purchase none of the perennials came back. We had mulched the area very well with leaves almost a foot of leaves in fall so they would be protected. The fact that none of them came back indicates poor product. They claim they only guarantee the perennials for one growing season! Which is ridiculous because how do you know if you get what you paid for if they don't come back the next year. I will never shop here again, I checked Bachman's and Home Depot's warranty and they guarantee their plants for one year or they will replace/refund.

Gina Jaring

Cute store a lot of touching items especially if you have lost a loved one. However, felt the plants were slightly overpriced but maybe because we went early in the season when plants aren't at their peak.

The plant selection here is great and the website tools (plant finder) is very nice to use. What has turned me off from this business is their terrible customer service. The manager there, Ann M. is incredibly rude and treats her employees like dirt. The past few times I have been there she seems overwhelmed and unwilling to help customers and employees. She is snarky and very unpleasant to deal with. I was recently told over the phone that I could exchange a few plants I purchased within a week for some other ones that are better suited for the zone we live in. I confirmed with the associate on the phone that all I had to do was bring in the receipt and my plants in order to exchange them. I was willing to pay the difference of the new plants too, no problem. When I arrived there, Ann was up in arms about me bringing in plants to exchange. She was flustered, ripped my paperwork out of my hands and as she was walking away she said she didn't even know if they could exchange them. I am not sure where she went but she came back several minutes later and said she had called the owner. I understand why they couldn't let me exchange the plants until they had officially died but because I had called earlier to confirm this was okay she should have told me what the policy was supposed to be and that her employee had made a mistake. She should have seen how much money I spent there and said that because I was told this was okay she would work with me to take care of this. Instead she just said they can't do it and that I would have to dig them up when they die, and they will die because they aren't meant for this zone, and bring them back. I told her this was exactly why I called to confirm I could do this and that I don't want to shop here ever again. Also, watch out for coupons there. If you use a coupon your plants are no longer under the one-year warranty. As I said above, I spent several hundred dollars here but because I used a $20 coupon the plants on that receipt are not covered. Luckily I had two receipts this trip. The store associates don't tell you this but Ann has no problem rubbing it in your face. If the plants I do have under warranty don't make it that is the only reason I will ever return to the Mustard Seed. I was a lifelong customer but I am afraid because of her management and the way she treats her employees I will not be spending another dime here.

Plants looked really nice but were very expensive. We found the same plants elsewhere for much less.

Zeke Domowski

Lots of choices of plants and seeds!

Joyce Landowski-Howe

Great place, great people with good information to all questions!

judith koppen

I had questions and was ready to spend several thousand dollars, instead I went somewhere else when I was just send out in the nursery to look around by a employee. Nobody ever answered my questions etc.

Vicki Mitchell

The Mustard Seed has beautified both our home and office! Friendly folks that truly care about the entire process from "an idea" to enjoying the finished new landscape. We receive compliments on the water effects and variety of colorful plantings all the time!

Arun Batchu

Nice selection, friendly knowledgeable staff and overall satisfying experience.

Carl Gansen

Big selection of nursery plants and garden supplies. Good service.

Goran Pujic

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The tree I bought seemed like a good price. They have lots of stuff for sale!!

Stacey Dibella

The most quality plants, and helpful staff. That is why I keep coming back!

BR C

When I come to get rock and am paying $30 more than the next landscape supply yards charge for the same amount and product I expect that the bucket be more than full. It chafes me when businesses are stingy and greedy. I like this place but I can't see coming back due to HIGH PRICE LOW QUANTITY for a bulk item.

Justin Strom

The staff were very punctual and considerate of our neighbors when they came to plant our new garden. The follow up discussion at the end of planting was also very helpful. It was a pleasure doing business with The Mustard Seed and we wont hesitate to use them again in the future.

Deb Hare

We want to thank you so much for creating the beautiful landscaping in front of the center. It is so warm and inviting, and the team was extremely friendly and helpful. We highly recommend The Mustard Seed for any landscaping needs!

Tiffany Hall

We are so pleased that we hired The Mustard Seed. Our landscaping project really came alive when the team went into action. They were very efficient and proficient. Putting our trust into a company with such skill has never been so easy. We love our new landscaping!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with a new 2018 landscape renewal design. The Mustard Seed also put in the original landscaping in 2002. They are experts at landscape design, installation, follow thru on every detail and clean up. In 2002 they put in a 10 foot- 4 teared waterfall, (sound flows thru house with open windows) long bird bathing stream, And a HUGE 6 foot deep- swimming pond with steps into this refreshing pool....surrounded by ferns, lovely flowering plants and hawthorne trees that the birds love to eat the berries from. Our 2002 landscaping was creative with boulder walls, an English Garden, an interesting tall Japanese tree and blue ball spruce and SO much more around the whole home. This time we wanted it redone and revitalized for great curb appeal in 2018. WE LOVE IT!! It's simple and lovely and easy to care for. They used lots of mulch to replace old rock. They brush cut /mowed the 1 acre wild flower field and got rid of invading buckthorn. The wildflowers have exploded in the field. (The original seeds laid in 2002 was called... the Halla wildflower blend. Still going strong after 16 years. ) The 2018 job was completed in 4 days. My husband and I worked with Kay, Cori, Erik, Mark and the 4 guys installing. All were professional from start to finish. No complaints!! I was around to answer any questions. The money spend was totally worth the investment both in 2002 and 2018. All I have to do is enjoy this Garden of Eden created by The Mustard Seed at Halla Nursery. IT'S A STUNNING SANCTUARY !! THANK YOU for your VERY HARD WORK !! Thank you for excelling in this field of installing exceptionally dreamy landscaping that we can enjoy for many years to come! May God bless ALL of you and The Mustard Seed !

Heather Shoberg

Another year, another great visit! We bought plants last year and came back again this year to fill in some more gaps. The customer service was great. Mary was so incredibly helpful and gave us such good information and assistance. She was a wealth of knowledge and I could not be happier with our selection!

Senchu Punyamurthula

Great customer service.

Jody Swenson

Love

Dave Konrath

My mother bought a few hundred dollars worth of plants & flowers last Sunday. Then on Tuesday we found out that had a 25% sale on everything but they wouldn't give us the discount even if we returned them and bought them back. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! NEVER AGAIN WITH THIS PLACE!!! Christian place... yeah right.

Pete Brettingen

Cory and his guys are some of the best. Extremely nice, detailed and diligent.

Sam Gross

Kept waking up with a dry cough, Cory suggested a couple plants for the bedroom and I've slept much better!!! Great recommendations!

Meng Vang

This place have a large variety of plants and you can purchase some good quality kois too

Drew Walgren

Allan was great to work with. He listened to our needs and made sure that our new landscaping would work for us. We are very pleased with the outcome. Our yard looks wonderful, and we can't wait until next spring when everything starts to bloom.

Joe Calin

Great selection and variety of plants. Very friendly staff, very welcoming and approachable.

Geri Longhorn

The landscape project in our front yard came out beautifully. From Annas great landscape design to Cory's wonderful added changes to the crew that did a great job planting the trees and shrubs, everyone was outstanding.

Karrie Shroyer

We are so pleased with the work that Mustard Seed did at our place. Both Mark and Kay were so easy to work with and their crew was wonderful. Everyone was timely and easy to communicate with, either in person or via text or email. I always felt listened to. We will definitely be working with Mustard Seed again!

Alyssa Darnt

You have excellent customer service, extremely courteous staff, great work (attention to detail) and efficient service. We really admire the outreach you give to your customers,like the Christmas and Easter mailings.

Serena Schraeder

They made up for my bad experience At first....Extremely disappointed. I went in this morning to ask a simple question "do you guys have lemon basil?" And I got a snotty response "well it's late in the season for herbs but you can go look". You could hear the irritation in her voice. I didn't know asking for help would annoy someone that gets paid to work there. First time coming to the mustard seed and definitely will be the last. But I appreciate Mark reaching out to me about my experience he was very helpful. And apologized multiple times even though he is not the person that was rude to me. I look forward to going back to pick up a lemon basil plant later today. Thank you again Mark

Daniel Kragthorpe

Very helpful staff

Eastern Carver County Clay Target Club

They always have what I want at the nursery center. Their landscaping service is awesome. The staff is always helpful and friendly.

Inez Maldonado

The staff at the Mustard Seed did a fabulous job of transforming our yard into a beautiful landscape with an amazing stone stairway, walkways and lots of perennials and several trees! They also built a stone fire pit in our backyard that fits into the natural surrounding of the woods and a pond. We love it and use it as much as we can. We have been extremely satisfied with their wonderful work and they have the most friendly staff which made the project go smoothly. They gave us a beautiful yard and made the experience so enjoyable. We look forward to working with them again for the next project.

Nick Lawson

Tons of options and friendly staff. 3 starts because I went there to buy mulch and was told nobody there could run a bobcat so I needed to come back!? Isn't that your business? Recommend checking with them before heading over if you need anything loaded. ** edit. The owner of this place personally called me to apologize for the above concern and went out of his way to make it right. I can respect that and for that reason i changed my review to a 5 star. It tells me they care and this was a minor oversight that they will work on for the future. Thanks guys. Top notch!

Julie Hoffman

Our experience with the Mustard Seed was outstanding. Our designer was very creative and intuitive. Her eye for art and structure in the landscape really blossomed as the the project progressed. We always get great reviews of our landscaping thanks to The Mustard Seed!

Great selection. Happy helpful staff. Products that last.

Randall Duke

Nice selection of plants & friendly staff. Got a flower for my sister when I was visiting

Rory Rusinek

Great staff who were very helpful in providing suggestions since new to the region.

Emilie Ward

Good: Many options Bad:customer service I went in search of bee friendly perennials hoping to speak with an expert. I started at Home Depot were the selection and experts were limited. The person at the Mustard Seed who seemed to know anything was busy so she simply listed off a few options (information I could, and did, get off the internet) sent another person to simply point out those plants to me. It would have been nice to be able to actually talk to the knowledgeable person about the specific plants I was interested in.

Luciano Santos

Beautiful, wonderfully run, Christian plant nursery. We don't go anywhere else for gardening needs.

Laura McDermott

Nice selection. Good variety. Some things are a little pricey, but overall, I recommend The Mustard Seed

Tammy Roitenberg

Very disappointed. Purchased almost $200 in perennials on Sunday. Received an email for 25% off everything that started today. Called to see if they would need to see my receipt to honor the sale price or if I had to bring the plants back …

Drew G

Prices are on the high side and beware buying trees from them. I purchased two tree's from them (Celebration Maple $500.00 and Pin Oak $225.00)in 2018. The maple was large, in a 25 gallon plastic pot. When I got it home, it was completely …

Robert Cote

Flowers, Grass, Landscaping experts they have it all, give them a call.

Natasa Jacobs

nice plants

Renee Brastad

I strongly recommend Mustard Seed Landscaping!! They helped me bring my lackluster backyard to life this summer with beautiful stones, plants, trees, mulch, lighting, along with retaining walls of stone and paved patio and fire pit! Mark and Kay Halla’s enthusiasm and work ethic, along with their crew, was inspiring! They truly care about your satisfaction in the job they do ! Thank you Mustard Seed!

Gil Her

Great team!, thanks!

Keith Major

Dear Mark and Kay, Just wanted to let you know how delighted we are with our yard. Your team showed up on time and was friendly,helpful, and professional. Thanks again!

Barry Hagen

Large variety of plants, trees & shrubs. Neat and tidy

Shad Owen

Cool garden center with a great selection of plants. I think the price point is a bit high for the more common items but they do have some unusual selections and hard to find items.

Dan Bye

Good selection of plants, flowers, and trees. They also have a nice play area for kids outside.

Steve Hatlon

I came in to the Mustard Seed to look for some plants for my garden, I was completely clueless. The associate working the floor helped me greatly, she educated me on the different plants- what needs sun and shade. I ended up purchasing Hydrangeas and think they will look great in my garden. Excellent customer service, left a very lasting impression!

Lorie Treff

I have attended a couple of events that The Mustard Seed has put on and have always been impressed by the quality of their stock and the kindness of their team. Cory Whitmer, one of the owners is an excellent resource if you are wanting to landscape. Cory has a genuine love for what he does and I can't recommend him highly enough!

Matthew Eickman

The mustard seed is a fabulous company. Their nursery is awesome! They are very community oriented. We have gone there to take Santa pictures the last two years. A much more relaxed picture taking experience than the mall.

Jane C

We recently had them do some landscaping at our house and they were absolutely wonderful! My husband and I really loved the finished look. Its great to work with a Christian focused organization and I love how they put everything they have into getting the job done right.

Merideth Shykes

Over priced but great variety.

Clint Cordero

This place is one of the best nurseries around they have a large selection and prices are decent. The staff seemed very knowledgeable.
