“Excellent selection of most people’s favorite perennial flowering plants and shrubs; annuals including many herbs and vegetables. Great place to purchase wide choice of garden care products. In addition, they are a STIHL distributor and carry in stock pretty much every tool STIHL makes. There’s farm animal foods and supplies, and fun items like large plant urns, rain gauges, wind socks, and more.”
“The FGS team was remarkable from start to finish. Ben was a pleasure to work with as we talked through different project options. Billy designed a beautiful new front and backyard landscaping project for me. Ryan and the rest of the install team did an excellent job in making the vision come to life. Norberto also helped tremendously with all of my questions. My neighbors saw the work FGS did and had their project installed today (which also looks fantastic!). Cannot recommend them enough!”
“This place is nice. I mainly go here to get dog food because they have a decent selection. I found out that my dogs regular food was recalled for being poisonous but luckily my dog has a strong will and spirit.
Before learning that his food was potentially hazardous, I watched my dog dine on a multitude of wild animals instead of eating his regular food. He carefully dug up moles from the ground, caught a large rabbit, ran down a squirrel, and day by day he showed me that he was indeed born and raised in the wild. I knew that he was, because that's where I found him, with his shining black coat and white socks. He was thriving on his own, but chose to follow me home and sleep on my stoop until I finally accepted him as my own.
Anyway, I tried out a new bag of food and he seems to like it. He hasn't been hunting lately but still chases the birds. He hasn't caught a bird since 2014.
Update: my dog broke out and shook a birds nest out of my cypress tree and ate all of the baby birds. He will never die and he will never give up.”
“Mark your calendars for future plant sales - incredible variety of native plants for all kinds of looks and needs. Plan on showing up early, and the Univ of NC Botanical Garden Plant Sales brings a lot of folks in they even need to have parking attendedants. Enjoy the Botanical Gardens after shopping to see what your future purchase will look like once matured.”
“The Rock Shop is a great source for all your landscaping needs. They always have a variety of items onsite for quick pickup and also deliver. Looking for mulch, stone, gravel…look no further! Don’t go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy bags of mulch. Buy local and support small businesses in Durham.”
“I had an incredible experience today with Ryan! He was so patient and professional and knowledgeable and kind. He answered all of my questions and even took the time to let me show him all of my houseplants one by one on my phone. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience and because of him I will definitely be coming back here for all of my plant needs. Also- the plants are so beautiful here!!! I left thinking- wow I would love to just hang out here. Thank you Ryan and thank you Durham Garden Center!!!”

“I came in here with multiple irrigation and backflow problems. Don was awesome and solved all my problems and answered all my questions. Walked me through everything that I needed. Someone is truly a one stop shop. This place is awesome.”
“Dalton was great!! He was the cashier who helped me during my visit. He was super friendly, helpful, and kind. He answered questions I had about the credit card and helped me find items around the store. I tried to leave a survey review for him but I couldn't get it to work. Hopefully this message reaches him. Thank you for all of your help, Dalton! You were great! I will definitely return to this Home Depot because of his customer service! Merry Christmas!”
“Ty’Mesha was extremely helpful. She provided me with options and looked for discounts. She approached me when she saw me searching on my phone. I absolutely appreciated her help as this will be a diy project. For some, not a problem. For me, it will take some time to work it out”
“This is by far the best plant store in the area! So many unique plants and gardening items that you can’t find anywhere else. The people who work there are friendly and are well informed about their inventory. You should just go to hang out! It’s a fun store!”
