i usually never write bad reviews, especially for local businesses. my visits to shonnards have increasingly declined over the years, but today made me decide to never go back. from a lot of their house plants typically coming with spider mites, to a slimmer than normal selection of plants, I was still willing to shop local. however, the employee with blonde hair and glasses rudely told me to “not touch,” and “look with my eyes only” as if I was a toddler. I am well versed in house plants, and know that softly touching a leaf will not damage the plant, as she stated would happen. there was no sign saying not to touch the plants, and they weren’t behind a glass case, so the condescending attitude was unnecessary and made me feel unwelcome. not coming back.

They have an outstanding selection of native plants. Super kind staff took time to answer my questions and gave a lot of helpful advice. I ended up finding all the plants on my list (plus a few more, of course). They even delivered for a reasonable fee. 5 stars!

I mainly shop at shonnards for indoor house plants.I have mixed reviews on their plants, because on one hand, they often have a great selection of wishlist plants. however their plants are often very freshly rooted cuttings with very small root systems.I’ve been able to find desirable plants for good prices, but they take a while to start growing because they need to establish roots first.

This is actually a review for Shonnard's Landscape Services not the retail shop. I am actually not a customer of Shonnard's Landscape Services, but I saw something the other day that made me want to send this review. These are professionals. I was driving along Crystal Lake Drive, and a crew from Shonnards was doing some maintenance. I observed their crew using a power blower to blow debris BACK INTO THE BEDS instead of blowing debris farther into the street like so many other landscape maintenance folks seem to do. Often the mow-blow-go guys just blow all the clippings into the street even though it violates city code and is just obnoxious. I'm going to refrain from naming names of other landscape service providers that do this, but maybe I'll write some reviews soon and call 'em out on it if they don't stop. I've even seen downtown businesses blowing leaves into the street. Shame on them. If I needed some landscape maintenance services, I would call up Shonnard's just for this one thing I observed because it shows they care. Thank you Shonnard's!

Reasonable prices, great service and two weeks later the sweet little carnation bouquet I sent to my daughter is still looking fresh and beautiful!

I love the selection and how friendly the employees are. The water features over make it beautiful and peaceful to shop. Only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is the cost. We only really buy plants food or bring in pollinators, so no just beauty plant buying. The berries and edible plants sold here are always almost $5-10 dollars more expensive than the othe main nurseries we go to. It is in my top 3 for Linn/Lane/Benton county but do wish the cost was a bit lower on some things. Was looking for a specific blueberry type and for thr exact same size (and same company that they buy from) was $10 more than the other 2 places we normally buy. Their bee section here is great here for variety though and have bought a few mason bee homes here. So we come here for a lot of reasons but cost does gave us go other places about half the time sadly. We always recommend people come check them out though because they are a great nursery even with the price.

Christmas lights! The best and most professional service for purchasing, installing, and storing Christmas lights. Full service. These guys know what they are doing! Been with them since about 2014! Thanks Shonnards!

From the owner Joel to the irrigation team and landscaping design team, customer appreciation and service is dismal. Irrigation team missed multiple issues and did not provide any proactive feedback. After multiple calls a supervisor scheduled a visit. His visit was obviously an irritation to him, although he was able to "sell" additional work, ultimately performed by the original crew. The (initial) incomplete work was completed at no charge and the new work was billed, however the bill was greater than expected for the amount of time. Questions regarding the bill were directed to the owner after paying the bill and he chose to laugh as he brushed it off as a customer who is not happy with Shonnards. There is hopefully more appreciative venders nearby.

I just got back from a quick trip to Shonnard’s. I don’t drive over there often, because for me, it’s all the way on the other side of town. But when I need any kind of garden product or get ready to buy seeds or plants, I make the trip. When I got home, there was an email from them in my inbox which included my receipt and a pdf with all kinds of info about how and when to use the product I just bought. This is not unusual. Just about every time I shop there, I get an email like that that tells me exactly what I need to know to grow my plant or use my product. Now that’s customer service! I also subscribe to their newsletter because it’s full of helpful info that’s up to date for our area and the season. That’s just a couple of the reasons I shop at Shonnard’s but not the only ones. I also love supporting a local business. Did I mention they have online classes and a really good YouTube channel? And knowledgeable, helpful staff? The list could go on and on.

Andrea assisted with flowers for my August wedding. She was amazing from start to finish. She listened to my colors and budget! My flowers stayed fresh for a full week. Wedding guests loved taking home the table arrangements. Definitely 5 star service and quality!

Eddit: Shonnard's has since contacted me and I am sympathetic to the extenuating circumstances that caused this delay.We have liked the nursery since moving here, it is a very nice store close to home with lots of selection, and for the most part staff has been friendly. So we decided to ask their florist to do our wedding, exsept we haven't be able to get a hold of her and I've been trying for a good month.I called, was told she'd be their on Mondays but to fill out a form on line. So I filled out the form and never heard back, so two weeks later I come in on Monday and she is not there. I'm told to email to make an appointment, I emailed over a week ago and never got a response.It seems like there is a big disconnect between the nursery and the florist. I didn't love the shuffle around the nursery staff gave me but I'd still rate them 4 or 5 out of 5. The florist is a 0 or disqualified as there has been no communication.
