REVIEWS OF For Garden's Sake IN North Carolina

Beth Anne Hughes

Everyone there is always friendly and very helpful, not to mention knowledgable about their plants. The entire place is kid friendly with animals to feed and the employees are always sweet to my toddler daughter when we go. The family-oriented festivals are great, we always enjoy going to this nursery!

Jeff MacIver

Great place for all growing things. And to feed greedy goats

Diego Rodriguez

Great selection and staff is always helpful

Daniel Englebretson

Nice place, with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It is a bit small in terms of total inventory, but still a great experience. Compared to the run of the mill Lowe's/Home Depot, it is awesome.

Marie Porter

The staff are very knowledgeable. If you aska you will get lot of advice. Great selection of in season plants.

Dorian Backus

Really cool garden shop!! Love it!!

Julie Griffith

So happy I found For Garden's Sake! They provided outstanding recommendations based on my needs, and made some really unique suggestions for my landscape plan. They are extremely professional and did amazing work. I look forward to having them do more in the future. Many thanks to their team for all their help!

This is the worst nursery in the area! When I was there in late March of 2014, their selection was poor and whatever they had looked sad and it was expensive. Because my landscaper buys from them and she was with me, I bought some stuff including 2 clumps of muhly grass. It was planted right away and watered and cared for but it's still dead. Like, not one single blade of green grass came out of it. I called today to see if I can get my $40 back (yes, they charge $20 per clump - it's $10 at the Carrboro nursery). The lady, who was extremely rude told me that muhly grass does not come out until fall! Not only she had no idea what she is talking about, she "asked" somebody and claimed that "the industry people" agree with her. In addition, they do not have any warranty policy unless they planted it. Do yourself a favor, and go someplace else. These people are rude, have not much to offer, and are incompetent!

Very helpful staff, I was greeted and asked what I needed, and then I received good advice. Staff helped me through my entire purchase. Now I've got healthy and nice looking plants! Will go back.

Really disappointing experience. I came to FGS for the first time hoping to pick up a few houseplants. I don’t know much about selecting or caring for plants and was really looking forward to some expert knowledge and assistance. I came on a Saturday afternoon that was surprisingly not very busy. I was not acknowledged by a single FGS employee- no one said hello, no one asked if I needed help. Once I went inside the garden center to browse the selection of indoor plants, the employee inside avoided eye contact with me and didn’t not acknowledge me- even when I was the only person inside and we were within a few feet of each other. After 15 min or so, I decided to leave and go somewhere else. 2 stars for the beautiful selection of plants and pottery, but unless you know exactly what you want/need, I’d advise you go elsewhere.

FGS has done the landscape maintenance for our home for nearly two years, since our prior provider went out of business. We sought contract proposals from a number of residential landscape maintenance providers, and FGS's proposal was the most professional and inclusive. FGS has lived up to our contract in all respects. Their maintenance supervisor, Nate, and their crew are responsive, timely and friendly. Additionally, we had FGS perform a major replanting of plants that were beyond their prime. The new plant specimens were very nice. Additionally, when some of the plants were lost during our past strange winter, FGS honored their guarantee. We are very pleased with FGS and happy with our choice.

Madison Melton

If you think you'll be able to return something.. Think again.. No return policy to speak of and no guarantees

Kari Terhark

I get the best service here and an amazing selection. For the serious Gardner, this is a magical place. I'd like to see better information on the plants RE: care, optimal growing condition and origin. Best here are the shade garden varieties

Michael Parker

If you're looking for a certain things that you can't find it Walmart or a nursery were you looking to order it online don't do it go to this place they have things that you normally won't find you're looking for unusual things like wind chimes that are over 5 feet long or if you're looking for real pots that you put on the side of your deck they have them I still have the flowers I bought from them they're really nice there the reasonable will take the time to talk to you free parking small little shop though if you're looking for something unusual something out of the ordinary you definitely need to go here

We have been coming here for years and they only keep getting better. Great for the whole family to join, as the kids will love pulling the carts and feeding the goats! I highly recommend their pine straw, which they will deliver to your house. It has such a rich color and is never full of junk like Lowe’s or Home Depot. the color lasts all season and requires almost no patch fill.

FGS has been doing my landscaping and installation for 10 years and, working with them, have redesigned over an acre of property into a series of gardens and leisure areas on four different levels of terrain. They are professional, prompt, ethical, and the landscape design division has an excellent aesthetic sense. I won't use anyone else! I also use the company for my maintenance as well: they are one-stop shopping!

Joe Farrington

My wife is happy with her Holly bushes, and I got to feed an alpaca animal crackers.

Ophelia Rose de Papillon

Buy local. Buy here. This place is wonderful, and you can see cute goats while shopping for all of your garden needs.

Great Company !

Didnt buy anything yet but visted twice with kids for their goats, chickens and fish. Almost a picnic spot :) and just 8 mins from my house Update: Bought flowers on sale and they did very well. Some flower pots were just $1

Paul Hayes

Great place!l Lots of plants and helpful and friendly.

Nancy Squizzato

Love the great selection and outstanding quality.

Ryan Smith

Very knowledgeable staff as well as a great selection. I'll definitely be back!

Richard Wolfe

Great quality and selection, but the prices are a little high.

Brad Worsham

For Garden Sake cleaned out our large side bed and completely cleaned out our back natural area, trimmed bushes and laid new pinestraw down. The difference was night and day. They had over estimated the time necessary to do certain parts which I asked them to do additional stuff with that time which they did no questions asked and then we reconciled the original proposal to what time it actually took them to complete. There is no way I could have returned these areas to the condition they are in now on my own. I will definitely consider using them again for their services.

Sandy English

1st visit, and we love it. Wide variety of plants, shrubs and trees. Plus chickens and goats. Kids love it too.

Alexander Justel

Very good plants on a very affordable price.

Sridhar Tutika

Our kids love getting to see (too shy to pet) and feed the animals and my wife loves getting to add to our growing collection of indoor plants. Come and check it out, our family thinks you will like it

Jordan Lassiter

Nice garden center with helpful staff. I received some good advice about taking care of mums. They also have goats, chicken, and an alpaca!

Kate Mauldin

Awesome place for all of your gardening & landscaping needs. Commercial services as well.

I have visited pretty much all the nursery’s in the Cary, Apex and Durham area and this place has the best variety of houseplants and succulents as well as outdoor plants, trees and herbs! I am on a hunt for very specific houseplants and when I went here last weekend, I found a bunch of “hard to find” ones that I’d been looking everywhere for. All the employees are so kind and helpful. The alpaca, chickens, goats and ducks are a fun bonus to coming here!

J J

Very cool garden store. Beautiful property. Pet the goats!

NC Spark

1st time here and was rather upset I waited so long. How much money have I wasted at the box stores for a lower quality product?

linda driggers

Beautiful plants, but too expensive

Really nice people selling nice plants, always a good visit here. The goats are fun too!

Katherine Broderick

I have worked closely with Doug who drew up an amazing design for my back yard. I am so excited about the design and can hardly wait to get started. I have been with For Gardens Sake since it first opened and have loved my experiences each time. Loved taking my girls there for picnics when they were young. Thanks y'all, I am excited about implementing the beautiful design.

Sue Andresen

Great selection of annuals, friendly, helpful service, and competitive prices.

Louise Watts

What a special little find this was! Such a great alternatives to the big box stores. they have a little petting zoo and have a beautiful Pond where you can feed the ducks. they have a wide assortment of very healthy plants and very competitively priced. Great place for taking pictures. Really, felt very special.

Danielle Piasecki

For Garden's Sake is great to work with! We use them for seasonal clean-up and heavy tasks, and I appreciate that they don't try to force you into a maintenance contract like some other companies in the area. They are knowledgeable about plants and lawn care. They always respond quickly when we have a question or need work done, and they do a great job every time they come out. I'm pleased to recommend them!

Zims Brew

A Nice selection and you can often find exactly what plants you are wanting. If you aren't finding the heirloom vegetables that you desire at the big box stores or if you are looking for a very healthy more developed fruit tree, definitely give it a try. It can also be a lovely plant nursery just to spend 20~30 minutes walking around to escape the hustle and bustle a bit.

Valerie Tower

Beautiful garden center with very nice and helpful staff

Ashley Hutchinson

Love the quality and selection.

Lara Casey Isaacson

The best landscape design team! I LOVED the results from my landscape design with For Garden's Sake. They are professionals and so creative!

Desaree Haber

I Just picked up a magnificent 4-5 ft fiddle leaf fig plant that looks gorgeous in my home. It was a very reasonable price too.

Yankee Fan

They don't stand behind their plants unless they plant them. So less than a month after planting, I have two dead plants they won't replace. So try Home Depot or Lowes--at least they guarantee for a year. The two dead parts are 2 of 5--the other three are thriving and ll were planted in the same area in a row. I called for help and had to call back 3 times before I got an definitive answer that they might consider giving me 50 % off of replacements ( and now a weeping cherry has borers and here are no trees around it so I assume the tree came with the borers--they had no idea on what to do for the cherry). So rather than take their offer, I can buy the same plants at Lower for the same price as their 50% off PLUS get a one year guarantee.

Brittany Harrison

Good quality plants and knowledgable staff.

Nothing but high praise for Scott and his team and company. I took out trees and sodded my entire lawn and put new bushes, plants around the house. From start to finish Scott and his team have been first class. I love Victor and Alfredo who come every week to care for the yard! Use this company for any and all you landscaping needs. You will be pleased!

Andrew Burns

Great place for herbs and other flora, plus chickens, goats, and geese!

Princess Greene

I just loved this place. I went there for the first time yesterday. The people are incredibly helpful and friendly. Just moving here from Chicago, this place was a joy. The animals are super cute and an unexpected treat. This will be my go to place.

Just Me

Suzi Johnson

Fabulous. Great plants. Great advice. Lots of inventory right now. I recommend this business 100%.

Rob and Christa Fama

Zuri Han

Such a healing place where I can see goats, alpacas, and chickens (although you can't enter the barn). If you bring some animal crackers or ask at the front desk, you can even try to feed the livestocks to get them come closer to you. Different pumpkin kinds to choose from. A great fall visit, as well as springs, of course.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR LANDSCAPING. Over the course of the year, I sent repeated emails regarding my concern about the yard and was consistently dismissed. My last email to the owner, Scott, was returned with an offensive and belittling reply. It is shocking to me what little regard this company has for customer service and ownership of their work (or lack of). The pictures attached show my grass before this company started working for me and after. Unfortunately, I feel like I have been robbed of thousands of dollars and this is what I have to show for it. In response to the excuse that it was hot and dry, please explain how that is different from any other summer? In fact, we have gotten more rainfall this summer than usual. Also, please tell me why isn’t every yard in Durham as crappy as mine? Listen, just own your stuff. You did a bad job and you should admit and learn from it! It’s awful that you should try to blame the customer!

Michael DeHaan

While smaller than some area garden shops, the selection here has been getting better as of late, particularly for pollinator-friendly plants - and prices are pretty good. The Alpacas, chickens, and goats are a big bonus. Also has a decent selection of pots.

Christina H

This is really a lovely spot. Kind, helpful people, beautiful plants. They carry a nice variety of annuals and perennials, herbs & veggies, small decorative pots, & house plants. They do periodic workshops as well. I believe they also carry dirt, mulch, and all that jazz, but I have not used them for those services. The setting is beautiful, with a pond with ducks, and a pen with goats and alpacas and chickens. They even gave my daughter a small bag of animal crackers to feed to the goats and alpacas, which made her day. We come every spring.

Thomas Johnson

Great garden center. Lots of choice. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

For Garden’s Sake is a wonderful place to buy plants. The staff is knowledgeable and the stock is of superb quality. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to find plants that will last longer than ones you would buy at a big box store!

Luis Alberto Chavez Meneses

Joel Philbrook

This place is amazing! Great selection and prices. Staff very knowledgeable and not pushy.

Neha Pankow

We bought 7 bushes from here and 4 died. We also bought some from another local nursery at the same time and those are doing well.
