Went here during their houseplant expo and was really glad I made the visit. The sale was great and the selection was even better. I had been hunting for spider plants in the city and finally found them here.

A nice, local garden center with high quality plants. Great seasonal items, family owned, friendly staff, it's a great place to walk around and enjoy the beautiful plants and serene setting as well as purchase high quality plants. Their classes are great, too!

Friendly staff, answered all of our questions and put up with my high maintenance husband. We went for the houseplant expo and enjoyed it.

We had our wedding reception at Benken, and it was more than we could've ever dreamed of. It was the first reception venue we toured, and I knew the moment we walked in that it was the perfect venue. The entire venue is absolutely stunning, and the florals that the team created were so beautiful!! We had so many compliments on how unique and gorgeous the venue was. The ladies that work on the team are all amazing to work with, and we truly couldn't imagine our day any other way!! The perfect wedding venue!!

The Benken's Team was very helpful with our tree. The stump had split and we needed to replace it. While an event was being set up, they stepped away to help us. Thanks so much Benken's, this is why we come to you every year!

How can you not love a place that sells plants?! Benken is a local florist and home and garden center. I bought a plant here for Mother's Day over a year ago and it's going strong! It may be a little bit pricey but it's locally made and grown. Management team and owner are sweet as can be. I set up for the first handmade market and they were so nice and helpful! Beloved by many local residents to silverton, this place is family owned. Parking is in private and easy. Highly recommend!

Quality plants, but the prices are outrageous, hence the two stars. Update: I wasn't going to go into detail, but since I received a reply from benkens, a very condescending, arrogant reply. I'm a retired horticulturist of over 45 years. You may be in line with some other independent garden centers whose prices are also outrageous, but there are several independents that are not trying to gouge people, if you know where to look. And who said anything about shopping at box stores. Your arrogant attitude just assumed that I didn't know what I was talking about. Your staff may be knowledgeable, but I didn't find out, I didn't get past the rudeness that I wasn't going to mention. Extraordinarily well cared for plants and a super selection????. Sounds like somebody trying to over sell themselves, because believe me you aren't that! And believe me, I've seen better plant material. It's definitely not a good place to shop. The only explanation for the good reviews is that people are so used to bad service and high prices that they think they're getting something better the more they pay.

I went here for the first time and had a great experience! I brought in a house Zz plant that needed re-potting. I found a bigger pot, decided on a new plant for the original pot, and couldn’t help but get another new plant + pot. The staff was so helpful and the signage on the plants is great too- indicating how much light and watering they need. They have a Potting Nook where you can re-pot for free with their soil, or they’ll help you do it! Loved going here and will definitely be back!

What a wonderful place! I ordered flowers for delivery to the Cincinnati Dinner Train (traveling in April), finding Benkens on the Dinner Train site (bc they will deliver straight to your table on the train before departure). During the call w/ Benkens I had some specific requests, which required them to slightly tweak their standard designs for these table displays for the train. Mind you, I called several months in advance of our trip on the train. I requested specifically colors that were popular during the '40s, so, vibrant reds and oranges of the right color to marry with the reds, and I think we tweaked something about the display vase and how it was used as well. Needless to say, in the intervening months I would find myself wondering how/if this was all going to sort out seamlessly, and if what I had already paid for was going to fulfill the look and ambiance I was going for on my trip. Anxious, I called the week of the trip--only to confirm that they still had my order and to share the table number we had been given (it had changed since my original ticket designation). I did not re-discuss or re-confirm the design requests I had made. The night of our ride on the train was magical enough--but the flowers and the arrangement were simply OUTSTANDING. Most passengers would comment on how beautiful they were as they passed by (I guess they had not read far enough into the Dinner Train website to realize they could also have ordered). In fact, they twinned perfectly with my '40s ensemble, and they were just the right size for the table; not taking up too much room, but still feeling like a touch of absolute luxury nonetheless. And then, in the days to follow, as we took them home, they reminded us of our memorable ride. Benkens did a perfect job, [I'm sure we've all ordered flowers remotely/online before, and been disappointed in the final product, but my reservations about this proved entirely unfounded, here] and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The absolute cat's pajamas!

You really can't beat Benken's quality. The last two time I was in, I had their plant specialists walk around and help me select plants for my extremely shady yard then the owner, Lindsay, gave me pointers to get the best results when planting. Their family based environment is obvious from start to end while there. I also have some of my most unique and beautiful indoor plants from them. Couldn't recommend enough!

We used Benken for our wedding venue and flowers. Robin was great to work with and very helpful! I struggled with identifying specifics for the bouquets, but they turned out gorgeous and perfect! All the staff were very kind and accommodating, and our day was perfect! I'm so excited to see the rest of our pictures, as the property is beautiful!
