The Garden Place

Great place for the unusual or hard to find landscaping. Love this place.

Will be back because of Susan! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She treated us like family and had great customer service. Some of the best in SW Florida. I would trust her with all of my garden needs and the store had great selection.

Beautiful plants and pots, great variety of yard decorations. Quality items but very pricey.

Last Saturday, I called The Garden Place to inquire about purchasing succulents in bulk. I spoke with a woman who confirmed they offered various types of succulents but they do not sell them in bulk. She mentioned it was their reopening weekend and they were running a special promotion: 20% off, with an additional discount if you spent $50 or more. I asked if the offer was valid only on Saturday, and she said it also applied to Sunday. When I asked what time they opened on Sunday, she said 10 AM. I arrived around 10:15 AM on Sunday, and a young woman assisted me in finding the succulent plants I wanted. I also picked up some bags of soil and fertilizer before heading to the checkout. My total came to over $260, so I asked for the 20% discount, reminding her it was the reopening weekend. She told me the discount was only valid on Saturday. I explained that I had spoken to a woman on Saturday who said the deal was for the entire weekend and that the store was open on Sunday, which was why I came. Had I known the discount was not available, I would have come on Saturday instead. I drove over 55 minutes to get there and asked if I could speak to a manager. She said she was one of the managers. I told her this was unfair—that I had driven 55 miles specifically to make these purchases—and asked if she was okay with me leaving without buying. She said yes, so I left. The woman at the register showed no customer service skills, allowing a customer to walk away after spending that much. I can only imagine how many others might have done the same. For a reopening event, having her at the register could end up driving customers away.

Nice place Full of all kinds of plants and stuff needed for your plants and gardens Even some home decor
