Wells Medina Nursery

Very nice spacious grounds with a good variety of plants.

For 30 years in Bellevue it was first time we were run out of the business property - firmly and unceremoniously. We arrived 10 minutes before closing time - it's our best, we both working. My wife knew what she was looking for, she was actively picking herbs, so as another customer with two kids. 5' before 6pm middle age man showed up and took away trays. It's obviously won't help customers to finish their business faster, but probably made that employee to fill better. However, couple minutes later two nice girls brought them back. Then a young gay shows up and asked if we need any help. 'We are about to close', he said. Obviously, we know that you are about to close, we visibly in a hurry picking up herbs, but Ok. In a minute he showed up again and said 'we a close now. You need to go to register'. We went to register and had to wait becasue register was busy with that customer with the kids. A few employees were staying around, waiting. No one open another register to help us/kick us out faster/. We don't mind at all, but if you just seconds ago were so eager to go home asap, why don't help? Nice girl behind register told us 'they are here since 9:45! What?? 8 hrs workday + 30' lunch brake make 6:15 pm end of work day for staff! If a store closed at 6 pm it doesn't mean that employees stop working at 6 pm! But not there. We made a good effort to arrive before close, made purchase for $70+ less than for 10 minutes, and in 6:06 pm were inside our car. I felt like we were a good customers. However, I'm not going to bother anymore. Goodbye forever, Wells, herbs not a problem.

Nice staff, kind service, well organized. I've searched for plant nurseries around Bellevue, and after several visits in person, I really love this place. I brought my first lavender home and look forward to coming back again for Christmas trees.

Ok, this is a little long, but have to share, regarding my time at Wells Medina Nursery yesterday. I had the best time walking around this nursery for over an hour looking for ideas for my yard. They have so many ideas available for all different applications, plant types, location, color schemes and what you want in your garden or want to attract to your garden like hummingbirds and butterflies. The nursery has a great layout and plants are easy to find on the nursery grounds like annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs, ground cover, border plants, ferns and succulents. I’m sure I missed several as the list goes on and on. I was even lucky enough to find a ‘Persian Chocolate’ Creeping Jenny for my big front entryway pot. The staff is top notch, very knowledgeable regarding plant choices, colors, grouping and availability. Note: Not all items are available year round like any other nursery. I found out, the Allium I want won’t be in until after mid September, but no worries will returning in the fall to buy some. While talking to one of the staff, she recommended when I come back to bring a sketch of the garden and where and if the sun will hit the area. She said if I’m looking for a special plant or just want one a certain color and height to note that and they will help me fill or design my garden layout. This being said this service is not offered at most nurseries but Wells Medina is above and beyond the normal run of the mill nursery. I’m super excited to get started on my new shade garden this fall.

Such a great experience. Jim fox is a savant when it comes to growing. It’s AMAZING how much he educated us, you can really tell this is his passion. The depth and wealth of this man’s knowledge is mind-boggling, just a stand up and nice guy. The staff was very warm, friendly and helpful. There are nurseries so much closer to where we live. But this was such a great experience will continue to shop at Wells.
