Rick is amazing. I went to the garden center today and he went above and beyond to help me with my gardening needs. Knowledgeable, friendly, and oh so helpful! I am even considering a part-time job he offered in the spring! The garden center is beautiful and peaceful. I can see spending hours there playing in the dirt and helping young things grow. :)

I feel so lucky to have this garden center in our small town! turns out it’s actually run by a long time Local family which makes me happy to spend my money here. They continuously fertilize their plants and have extensive knowledge because I came to them with so many questions lol Do good for the community and shop here!

I am never coming back here!! Wednesday July 12 I came at 3:30pm half an hour before they closed. A middle aged women wearing blue sunglasses and a light green shirt was extremely rude to me. She first started accusing me of being a recent caller and said it was most likely me because me and the caller had the same plants in mind. I then told her that I wanted something that was easy to take care of and that would come back every year, she started to laugh rudely in my face while saying “ if you want plants yOu hAVe tO WaTEr tHem evEry day” I never once mentioned anything about watering. She then sarcastically says “ oh of course YOU definitely know more than us”, at this point I am saying to myself what is wrong with this lady?!? As we were walking down to the hosta section I let her know that I didn’t know a lot about hostas, she AGAIN says “I know you don’t, you don’t want the responsibility of a plant” I pick the plant I want and go to checkout she goes off again about how she is tired and that she is so frustrated. As I am done with checkout she tells me to have a good day I don’t reply because she was very rude, SHE THEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY WOW AND GIVE ME A STARE!!!!

Called in and asked if they had American Holly trees in stock (Ilex Opaca). The man that answered said he had about 50. Excitedly, I drove 1 hour to go pick up 10 of them. When I get there he tells me that they’re not American Hollies, but Oakland Hollies that are small hybrids and not what I asked for. He knew the whole time and lied to me over the phone. It was ridiculous and wasted me 2 hours time and gas. I will never go back there, really shady customer service. Be warned that they might lie to you.

I have been a customer here for many years and spent a lot of money here.Today I spent 45 minutes and spent 180Last week 95Buy all our water plants here, fertilizers etcSUSAN was rude and made me feel like an inconvenience.She told me I was “lucky “ that she helped me add vinca vine to my 2 planters.She told me to make up my mindShe told me she is a retired nurseIt’s a good thing she’s retiredI’m a nurse and I don’t treat patients that way even if they are difficult. I know I’m indecisive. I really am.I’m sorry for the inconvenience.I guess we all have bad days. You quoted to me 5 times about your 5 stars. So here ya go. But it’s not for you it’s for Effingers. Make no mistake.Keep telling yourself you are a 5 star employee.Thank you for all of your ? work. Research what a 5 star employee is. You get a solid 1.I asked to speak to the owner and he said first off “depends “ then he proceeded to quickly say “Susan”treated you well. WOWI love your company and quality plants. But you should care about how customers are treated The rest of the staff was very nice the girl who helped me take my plants to car and the girl at register. Thank you for that.

Very good selection of plants, shrubs, and trees. Always someone around to answer questions or suggest alternatives to fit your particular needs. Pricing seems very reasonable and plants well cared for.

The the other day I called Effinger’s‘s and spoke with Trudy, the owner, not knowing it was the owner. She gave me so much information and a lot of her knowledge on plants that I needed for my waterfall. She said when I get there to ask for Susan. When I got there, Susan was wonderful and delightful, and helped me and had all the things that Trudy had said I needed to look at. Including walking over to her house to see the actual plants that are growing. Shortly after Trudy, the owner came out. And spoke with me and again assured me of the plants that I needed with nothing but Care and kindness and years and years of knowledge. If you’re looking for a place that feels like home more people actually care. This is the place to go. I won’t go anywhere else from now on. Thank you Effinger’s and thank you Trudy for the most delightful experience.

Just had the best experience per usual at Effingers. He helped me pick out flowers to replace some hanging baskets and also gave me a flower to attract my hummingbirds! Best place EVER

The owner Rick is the nicest most caring person! He’s trying to bring a peace lily back to life for me. I got it when my sister died and it means so much to me. I would recommend this place to everyone! ? He didn’t charge me a dime and I was there 2 times while he worked on it ❤️
