Lots of varieties of plants, and very knowledgeable and helpful staff. We are traveling across the US for the next year. So we needed plants that are resilient (can tolerate cold and warm climes and can varying levels of light). Also they can’t grow too fast, as tiny camper life. A member of the staff spent twenty minutes talking with me to ensure he understood the situation and then walking me around to explain different plants that would be suitable for our setup.

Best selection of herbs in Gainesville. Lots of different varieties of mint, thyme and rosemary along with other types of herbs. Reasonable prices and healthy looking plants.

Amazing place, really great selection of plants and all laid out in a super pretty landscape. Out door section for full sun plants, indoor greenhouse area, and a shop inside for anything else you might need. Really nice staff

Every experience here that I have had with the team that works here has been pleasant. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help anyone learn. I enjoy shopping for flowers and watching the pollinators. They may not be quite as cheap as lowe's, but they more than make up for it with the personalized experience plant knowledge and care that goes into their stock.And don't worry, if you're a middle-aged white man who wants to shop there they'll treat you exactly the same as they do all of their other polite customers. However, if I am there and I see you mistreating staff, raising your voice, and name calling I will say something. And if you resort to profanity and aggression, please be reminded that I match energy and your fragile ego will not remain intact.

This place is a gem. They have a massive selection of plants. When I moved up here from central Florida years ago they were the first nursery I went to. They not only had exactly want I was looking for, they gave me wintering advice for all of my tropical plants since I was used to living below the frost line for so long. The staff here is amazing. Great customer service. I would recommend this place to anyone. I still get my plants exclusively from them.

Nicky was a fountain of plant knowledge. She took my mother and me around the nursery explaining the plants in great detail. Everyone there was very kind and helpful.

I’m not a Gainesville local, but I enjoy visiting this nursery when I’m in the area. It’s a beautiful spot to walk around as you’re browsing for your next plant. There’s a good variety of options and they always have friendly staff!

I shop @ Garden Gate at LEAST once a week. The staff are friendly & helpful. When they don't happen to have what I want, they're willing to special order it for me.

If you are a white middle age or older male, you will be ignored by the employees. The unprovoked contempt displayed was surreal. I have patronized this business for over 30 years and will no longer do so.

I’ve been here twice in 2-days. Besides the excellent, thorough customer service, the employees are very knowledgeable about all areas of the nursery. The plant/orchid selection is good. Easy in and out. Beautiful and well maintained business. My pictures don’t give their landscaping justice.
