The shop itself is very resourceful and wonderful and majority of the staff are incredibly sweet. I do not typically leave reviews, however, while checking out, Jamie assisted me at the register and for reasons unknown seemed to have an attitude directed towards me. Either for not counting my multiple items in advance or not making my payment as swiftly as she may have preferred. She will deny this comment I’m sure and that is to be expected of someone who does not take ownership in their subtle energy shifts toward another. It is unfortunate to experience this and I hold no Ill will but would like to also address that it was indeed noticed. Overall the shop is wonderful, but as a customer, please advocate for yourselves and request checkout from a different employee should you experience something similarly here or in any other establishment. Happy gardening!

Love the vibrant color-pop for spring, especially Easter. Started in the winter, took Steven's advice, followed through in the winter. I love ? the season change...

Great place with a good selection. A bit overpriced sometimes, especially for houseplants and gardening supplies. Still, a great place with a good selection of supplies inside the store.For houseplant, they get a wide selection of standards, with the occasional hard-to-find. Good selection of collectable orchids and terrarium plants. They get quite a bit of standard succulents and cacti, and sometimes some unique sansevierias and draceana. I'd like to see more euphorbia varieties and caudex plants, which you'll rarely see.Their landscape selection is really good, and they often stock unique or harder-to-find landscape trees, shrubs, and plants. But those go fast, and you have to grab it when you see it. They are good at keeping a stock of the standards on hand. Again, prices can be a bit above average, but their quality is top. Everything is healthy.The staff are super friendly, especially in the greenhouses. Some of the older office and cash register people inside the store can be gruff or dismissive, but nothing too egregious.Overall, always a top place to stop in the area, with a constant flow of new stuff during the growing season. Winter is very limited.

They had 50% off trees and I impulse bought a giant Japanese maple with no plans on how to get it home lol. Sebastian helped get it in my car and fully strapped it in and it didn’t budge. Super super appreciative of his help. And the woman who held my dogs’ leashes while we figured it out. Thank you!! 11/10 would buy another giant tree here again.

Whatever you do, go in with a plan and a budget or else you WILL buy the entire nursery. They have the best selection of plants in the region and the kindest, most helpful employees who are not only patient with my one thousand questions or requests for recommendations… but genuinely happy to answer them! I’ve also gone to them when my garden or plants are unhappy, and they’re super helpful and knowledgeable… often sharing ideas or having me talk to another employee with more specific experience!Some of their plants come with warranties if you buy bumper crop, which we’ve taken advantage of a couple of times ours didn’t make it. We’ve also ordered soil in bulk and had it delivered, had them test our soil, and come out to our property for a consult on the plants around our property! They do. it. all.

I’ve been purchasing plants from Primex for decades. They have a beautiful gift shop/garden center and they offer many beautiful and unusual houseplants.The nursery is amazing with a huge variety of species. Kerria Japonica, Blue Atlas Cedar (weeping), Clethra and many other unique plants, shrubs and trees.The customer service is excellent. I’m a garden center crazy person and I highly recommend Primex as a source for all of your greenery and flowers!

Staff were nice and friendly. Parking can be a bit difficult, but no one seemed to mind too much. I was happy to find a succulent and cactus to start out small on the gardening journey.

Great greenhouses with plenty to look at.I went to Primex specifically because they carry Organic Mechanics soil, but they also have a lot of smaller bags of additives to aerate your soil. Pleasantly surprised by the selection of all things gardening.The staff was kind and knowledgeable. Pleasant experience!

Love this garden store! HUGE selection of annuals, perennials, succulents, fruit plants and trees, vegetable plants and herbs. Plus garden decor, soil, bird feeders and food and more. Not to mention the knowledge, helpful employees.

My friends gave me a gift card to this place, so I made the half an hour drive there. The place is cute but the things are over priced and the staff is indifferent and unfriendly. I heard one of them talking about a customer in a negative way. Flowers and gossip, really?

I used to live near Primex and fell in love with them. They have a fabulous array of indoor and outdoor plants, including some that are fairly unique and hard to find. They have all the supplies you could need and the staff are garden savants. They take such excellent care of their plants. It's like a botanical garden but you can take the plants home. I've since moved away and still often make the 45-minute trek to visit because it's just so lovely to visit.
