Nurseries & Gardening in State College, PA

“I know nothing about flowers and plants and came to College Gardens after talking to a coworker about my situation. They told me to come here and boy were they right. Nancy has helped salvage shoddy work by a different company(I wont say their name) that I hired and paid a lot of money for them to install a bed and place the plants/flowers. Nancy went above and beyond the call of duty. She designed what plants I needed, where to place based on the sun and overall flow of the flower bed. Mind you she was doing this during the absolute peak season and they were swamped but her customer service shined through and treated me with the time and courtesy that you just don't see anymore these days. Being the novice I am Nancy went step by step of what to plant and where. I cannot stress how much I appreciate her help with this. I am so glad I took my coworkers advice and went here instead of somewhere else. I cannot pot a price on the knowledge and service that I was given. College Gardens/Nancy made a lifelong customer in me. If you are looking for any plants/flowers I cannot stress enough how you should skip the other big box stores and come here if you want competitive prices, selection, knowledge and customer service because College Gardens cannot be beat.”

“This place is a hidden gem! They have a great assortment of natives, annuals, perennials, houseplants, veggies, herbs, trees, bushes, shrubs, water plants and more! I've gotten some truly unique day lilies and tiger lilies here for my family. It's a pleasant place to pop in and visit -- I always love to see the fish pond and hear the frogs. Highly recommend!”

“We had gotten our grandson a hover ball for Christmas there. They had it outside the other day and the wind took it, they were unable to find it. We came to your store yesterday in hopes of finding another one. I stopped one of your employees, I believe his name is Devon, and asked if you had any more. He told us to check the clearance in the lighting department. We did, but unfortunately there weren't any. As we were leaving that department he came up to us with 2 hover balls and said he had found them in another place. He went out of his way to help us make an 8 year old boy's day. Thank you Devon for your kindness you are a true asset to Home Depot!!”
