Made my first visit to Wayside Garden Center today. Wow, what an amazing place! This is definitely houseplant heaven and everything else you need for gardening, birdwatching and gift giving for the gardener. Glad it’s near where I live so I can go there whenever I want. Friendly, helpful staff and kitties!

They have a nice selection. The perennial section is impressive. Most of the staff is quite friendly and helpful. On the negative: The prices on many items have skyrocketed. I understand inflation and all but their prices have outpaced inflation. Not everything is expensive but some items are shockingly over priced. More recently, there is a newer employee working at the cash register area. She's and older woman and she's rude and unpleasant. I've spent a lot money there and she's always unpleasant to me. A few days ago, we decided to get a live Christmas tree. We got a small balsam fir there last year which we liked. We found a similar one this year. We were having a great conversation who,e checking out with one nice woman. She was surprised when we told her we got a live tree last year and kept it inside for several weeks. She wasn't rude about it but they apparently suggest not keeping a live tree inside for more than a week. I've been gardening for 20 years and I know what I'm doing. If a live tree is carefully cared for, it can be safely keep inside for a few weeks. Well, the rude older woman shows up apparently having been lurking and eavesdropping on the conversation. She never once addressed us personally but shoved a flyer at us stating their nonsense recommendations about only keeping a live tree inside for a week and not leaving it outside etc. Again, I know what Irma doing and don't need a flyer shoved straight me. It was very demeaning. Then the grumpy older woman turns to address the person ringing us up and tells her there's no guarantee for plants they sell that time of year. It was just so rude. We already knew the plant wasn't guaranteed. It was just a lousy customer service experience when it had started out so enjoyable. As much as I enjoy aspects of Wayside, I'm done shopping there until that rude older woman isn't there anymore. She is just awful to deal with.

A great garden center! I never leave empty handed and the staff is always helpful and able to answer any questions. Such a beautiful selection of trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials...Hydrangeas are my favorite.

One of the most amazing garden centers in our region. Picked up some beautiful blueberry bushes today. Best part, other than the selection is the staff. They're helpful, very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend a visit.

WAYSIDE GARDENS NURSERY, MACEDON NYWorking with a company has a measure of uncertainty surrounding "what will happen if something doesn't go well".I fully believe that the true measure of working with a great company is known, not when things go well, but when they don't. Here's the story.We hired Wayside Gardens Nursery, located in Macedon, NY to plant some trees and bushes. They came and did what we asked. The workers were efficient and steadily worked the entire time! The work was completed within the day and my husband/I were very pleased.When my husband/I later walked around our yard, we noticed that they removed a bush where we specifically said it needs to stay where it is. There used to be a Japanese Holly there that my husband really liked. It was gone.We tried finding a replacement as did Wayside. None of us did. I ordered a rose bush to be planted in its place.Within two days of the rose bush arriving, Wayside Gardens Nursery came to our home and planted the rose bush. There had been no "discussion", no excuses, no blaming; just a quiet acceptance that a simple mistake had been made.Wayside Gardens Nursery is now my first "go-to" nursery for any more landscape work we will need in the future. We are all human and as such are not perfect! It is how people respond to these "imperfect" events that definitively show their level of integrity and professionalism.Thank you. Len. for the exceptional service!

I reached out to Paul at Wayside about replacing some dead plants in my landscaping and hoping to replace them. Paul responded quickly, was at my home quickly and I received my quote and sketch quickly. I agreed on the plants and within weeks they were at my house removing the old, putting the new in and it was seamless. If you didn't know they were at my house, you can't even tell. Great work, great customer service and great job! Thank you Wayside for providing quality work every time!

Beautiful plants!! I had gotten a tiny blueberry bush elsewhere and wanted another variety to cross pollinate with. Came here and they had HUGE bushes of like 8 different varieties, yes they are pricier but you're getting a heck of a lot more than just two branches like the other places sell. Also, shrubs apparently have a warranty, which I had never heard of but it's amazing that they have one!Came back for a houseplant that had caught my eye the previous time and it's gorgeous.Also, they have a shop cat who is an absolute sweetheart, and nothing makes shopping for plants better than seeing a kitty sunbathing in the aisle and having it ask for attention :)

Deb in the garden/gift area, great customer service!Went to the Cashier to check out, had a couple for $10 off $50 and my total came to $49.96... 4 cents off and they didn't honor it. Not going to use the June gift card, will go elsewhere from now on.

OMG. I love this place! My wife and I went there for the first time today with our son to search for perennial flowers that the deer won’t eat. She was able to pick out the flowers she wanted for Mother’s Day, and I played with our son on their little playground. We all benefitted from this experience and left with exactly what we wanted!

I bought supposably Big Max pumpkins that would be 30 lbs to 100 lbs and have many small pumpkins all under 5 lbs. They are not growing at all anymore. Very unhappy, pumpkin palooza is a family event for ten years. We will now have to purchase $300 more for pumpkins.

My mother and I love this place. We have discovered plants we never knew existed! I bought this London Plain tree over two years ago from here. It cost $200 less than any other competitors. We love this tree!

Wayside did a fantastic job at getting me a bunch of arborvitaes and planting them to block my annoying neighbor’s deck-that he built right next to the property line overlooking my entire backyard. The planting crew lined them up perfectly, did the job quickly and left no cleanup for me. Hopefully they’ll grow nice and tall and I’ll have my privacy back in no time. Highly recommend!!!
