Great Nursery. Staff is most knowledgeable.
Best nursery in Raleigh! Friendly and knowlegable staff. Great selection of plants. I always feels like home when I visit.
Great selection for any plant or gardening needs: indoor, outdoor, mini gardens, holiday decorations, and special events. Friendly, helpful staff. Frequent classes and sales/promotions. They are now my goto source for information and supplies for my new houseplant hobby.
The knowledge and time that the employees take to work with me are really helping to improve an area of my yard that really needs it.
Great place to browse, find hard to find items, and get great service. Huge variety of plants, furnishings, trees, and so much more. We love coming here for the variety.
Great variety of plants, and very knowledgeable, friendly staff. There's a cat that lives here too, which is also a plus!!
Several weeks ago I came to purchase a magnolia, I talked with Lisa and Steve who were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Homewood is like family! Keep up the good work. Judy Allen
First time visitor planning my first garden ever. Was so thankful that the employees were friendly enough to offer advice from their years of experience. Even the younger staff members really knew their stuff in comparison to other places I have checked out. Very impressed, will be back!
Always a great experience! I cannot wait until Xmas season. Absolutely beautiful and a fabulous shopping experience.
We purchased our veggie plants for the first time this year at Homewood. Thanks to Matt and all his help we had the most amazing garden produce this year for the first time in 20 years. We definitely will be getting all future garden plants from Homewood.
I have shopped at Homewood for flowers and bushes at least 20 times over the past three years that I've been living here in Raleigh, and I have never been disappointed. Very high quality plants, very friendly and helpful service, great selection, and a relaxing, pleasant atmosphere to shop for plants, as it seems more like an outdoor botanical garden. Superb! The staff are really great, especially in perennials.
Always our favorite place to shop for our garden. Very friendly and knowledgable staff.
Good selection, friendly, helpful staff, and comparable pricing to other Raleigh nurseries
My wife and I had a pleasant experience the first time we visited and spent $900 but when three and a half pallets of our flowers out of the six pallets that we purchased we're dying and we couldn't find a receipt we were treated extremely rude by a manager lady. There's no reason why they can't look up our name and address that is in their computer as a receipt to give a refund because they have a 1 year warranty on their products. Also, most of the plants wich we purchased were 25 to 35% less at Lowe's and identical and there's never a problem returning a plant there.
Helped me repot my Orchid answered all my questions
The mecca of all garden stores. I can't get enough of this place. Oh, and the people that work there areally pretty rad, too. Worth the drive.
I love this place, but I am so disappointed they don't take discover card. That really limits my purchases.
Love their Christmas Open House. There are photo stations, tons of poinsettias to choose from plus Christmas cacti, gifts and more.
Excellent selection, beautiful & healthy plants, very knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend.
Great visit! Store loaded with everything! Great service
The staff are all knowledgeable and so very friendly and helpful! The selection is amazing, the grounds are stunning, and the prices are very fair. I love coming here for our house and garden plants. The service and selection... You just don't get that at other places.
I am extremely disappointed with my past experience and the service at Homewood Nursery & Garden Center. As I walked in, the staff seemed rather cold and unwelcoming. It was apparent that they were more concerned with chatting among themselves than assisting customers. As I asked for help, they were bothered by me interrupting their conversation. Although this nursery has a great selection of plants, it was a very unpleasant experience and not worth a visit again.
Amazing selection of poinsettias. Attractive, clean, organized facilities with lots of helpful people.
Always a good experience. Inspiring displays and superior service. Love visiting!
This is a beautiful Nursery, set among the trees. Very helpful staff and a lovely place to visit. Beautiful plants of all kinds.
Awesome garden shop! Great plants and very peaceful, even when crowded!
A friendly place with knowledgeable helpful people and a great product selection.
I have never been sorry I have visited Homewood. It has become a biannual (at least) family tradition to stock our gardens here, and aside from that is also a beautiful place to walk around and learn about all sorts of plants. The employees are always very helpful.
They have the best selection of plants in this area and their prices are very reasonable. The people who work there are very nice and the outdoor area is absolutely beautiful
Beautiful place. Staff(wish I knew her name) was very helpful answering my questions and making recommendations. I went there looking around, yes I will be back.
Personell very helpful. Able to find what I wanted very quickly. Offered good advice on planting shrub that I chose.
It's was so good and beautiful and everyone is so good I love it
I love this nursery. Everything is so well kept. Huge selection and it's been around for a while! Remember coming here as a kid!
Great quality plants, soil and the staff is very knowledgeable. My plants bought from Homewood vs a Lowes or Home Depot have always done better! They are just healthy plants!
Great selection and beautiful, park-like setting
Staff were so helpful and knowledgeable, awesome selection, can’t wait to come back.
Great prices, great staff, amazing selection, and the location is super beautiful! It’s definitely a great experience to shop there
great selection of unique and unusual conifers for the garden and containers.
Very friendly workers who offered much assistance. Pleasant and helpful environment. THANKS !!!
Best place to get all indoor and outdoor plants
Very friendly and lots of great help. Loads to choose from.
Awesome place. Staff friendly and very helpful.
Best nursery around. Everything is so beautiful! Or course, you can generally get better prices elsewhere but hard to beat the quality at Homewood. Also, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
Love this place. The outside is a display case of everything you'd want your yard to be. Inside the people are knowledgeable and interested in what you need. My kids love it here.
Great family owned business. Prices are competitive and great selection, especially of shrubs and trees. Huge greenhouse with lots of plants. Beautiful poinsettias in winter.
Huge selection of pointsetta at Xmas. Several places with backgrounds for photo opportunities. Visit every year.
In mid-May I purchased $500 worth of plants, among them three Scottish Brooms, one peony, and one hydrangea. I also purchased several plants online at Planting Tree, including two hydrangeas. At Lowe’s, I rescued a hydrangea from the “dead and dying” shelf. The hydrangeas from Planting Tree were five times the size of the one from Homewood for the same price and came well-packaged in 3 gallon pots. A month later they are lush, even fuller and covered in soon-to-be blooms of the Vanilla Strawberry variety. The Lowes’ hydrangea, which was at death’s door, has put out beautiful vibrant green leaves and almost doubled in size. Homewood’s hydrangea, while it has put out a couple of new leaves, has brown spots and looks like it’s struggling to survive. Their peony has done absolutely nothing and the three Scottish Brooms, at $35 each, have completely died and look like nothing more than the business ends of three Scottish witches brooms sticking out of the dirt. Disappointing, to say the least. I made a trip to the nursery and asked one of the “roving” staff members how to go about getting a refund for the dead Scottish Brooms and was told that no refund could be issued if I did not have the receipt or the pots I purchased the plants in. I had neither. Her attitude said “forget it.” Well, I guarantee I won’t be forgetting it. What a terrible waste of money, time and effort. If you are looking for quality plants where you get something to show for your money and hard work, I highly recommend buying your plants online at Planting Tree. Even off the dead and dying cart at Lowe’s, the plants have at least as good a chance as surviving as those you buy at Homewood.
Some employees were utterly engaging. Others acted like they just wished you would go away. Top, top quality plants. Can't go wrong! Solid advice, no matter who you talk to. Advise getting more than one opinion, though.
Great selection and wonderful customer service!! Very knowledgeable!
Beautiful stock of plants, shrubs, trees and flowers.
Can't say enough good things about this place! Customer service is incredible. Selection is phenomenal. Prices are right on point with average, a little bit below depending on the plant. There is a huge outdoor area mostly with trees, bushes, flowers, and other landscaping foliage as well as a large greenhouse with a wide selection of beautiful indoor plants. I got $230 worth of ornamental houseplants for $150 during their 35% off EVERYTHING Founder's Day sale. As if that wasn't a good enough deal, they had free food an ice cream! Even with the fast pace and crowd of the sale, all employees were very eager to help. All of my plants are happy, healthy, and thriving! The best part? Its only 15 minutes from my house!! If you're contemplating checking this place out, go do it! You won't be disappointed.
Except for the price, it was great. I'd brought in a container to put a small plant in. The service and help I received was top notch. I should have checked the price of the air plants. My fault.
We have been buying plants from homewood for over 10 years and they are great.
Knowledgable, friendly staff. Fair prices, great selection, local small business.
I did not see one plant that didn't look like it was petted and spoken to every day. They do a great job and customer service is top notch. Beautiful place!
Great fun place to shop
I love the feel of this place, but I’ve spent hundreds of dollars here and every plant I’ve bought there, minus one, has died. My plants from Lowe’s are doing significantly better than plants I paid premium pricing for because I believed they were worth it. I bought an herb bucket; two days later it’s rotted with fungus. I bought a bunch of pink, red, and white splashes. They have wilted. The Swedish ivy I bought was infested with mold and died within the week of buying it. I’m just really mad that I’ve spent several hundreds of dollars here (not hard to do if you love tropicals as much as I do), and I have one survivor. I would blame myself, but as I said, all my other plants are fine. I buy from other nurseries and the farmers market; and those plants are thriving. So yeah. I don’t know what’s going on, but I am NOT HAPPY with this place. Edit: I had to throw the moldy, rotting plants out. I also don’t always get a receipt, which is fine, but I can’t return what I’ve thrown away
I love Homewood. I live 40 minutes away and pass two other nurseries to get here because the staff, selection, and atmosphere are incredible. They will hold and deliver what you buy in the event your vehicle cannot transport your purchases. I have shown up with weed samples from my lawn for identification and they told me exactly what I needed to do. I have walked around just for inspiration for what I want to do with my yard. They have educational materials readily available to help you make your landcaping ideas come to life. Im usually here at least once a season. Support this local treasure. You wont be dissapointed!
Beautiful plants and very friendly and helpful staff. I couldn't ask for more.
Great place to find all your flower needs or vegetables for your garden. Highly recommend this nursery
I have brought several plants here and had some re-potted. Kathy is a gem, she is great! Kind patient, I really think I won't kill my plants because she's taught me so much!
There was a large selection of plants and trees. There is a significant amount of garden paraphernalia like ornaments, fairy gardens, and pots. Some of the trees and shrubs looked pretty rough and the pathways could have been spruced up for the start of the season. I was confused by some sale items... like clothing. Why are they selling silk shirts? Things seemed to be overpriced, too. Why are fiberglass pots being sold at pottery prices? Hanging plants are twice the price of most other stores. The staff seem super friendly though.
This is a superior run and operated full scale nursery that is extremely effectively and declaratively organized. The numerous staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Always a pleasure to wander around.
Best plant place around! Great time for kids today!
Great service and variety of plants
Visited from out of town. Great local garden center!
Great nursery. They are proud of the business , and they stand behind their products. Best nursery in Raleigh!!! Stave Brown worked with us very fairly.
Love this place! All the plants and flowers are so healthy, well worth the money!
Excellent source of plants and advice! I enjoyed the no pressure conversation about the ideal plants to install in the flowerbeds by my front door, and I was particularly happy about not being pushed towards any plant in particular.
Great help was given to us on what plants would suit us in our home environment, especially as first time plant caretakers.
Been going for years! The best!
Great looking plants, helpful staff. Lots of plants ready for planting.
I discovered this nursery and garden shop, tucked away in North Raleigh, a couple of years ago when I read a local news article about locally grown poinsettia cultivar trials (Homewood is one of only 9 organizations across the nation that …
This is a great nursery with a huge selection of bushes, shrubs, flowers, and trees (fruit-bearing and not). Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful with any plant care questions you may have too.
First time visitor. We got a tour of the operation by the owner, and it was WONDERFUL, very interesting Exceptional to be around right jobs right people staff. Very positive vibe, everything very pleasing to the eye, not a place you should rush through. Great selection of plants and gifts. Physical appearance very appealing. Even the delivery guy unloading plants, from Oregon, was very nice.
Large selection of outdoor plants and fountains. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was plentiful. Some items were a little pricey but typical for a nursery.
Such a cool variety outside and in their huge greenhouse and helpful attentive staff
