We love this place and have been buying plants, flowers, soil, vegetable plants etc for 27 years…read more It's one of the true gems of New Haven. Private parking lot, clean grounds, well maintained plants, great and helpful staff, easily to identify plants how where to plant them ie: full sun etc. A couple of drawbacks. Going on the weekends guarantees that they'll be busy meaning hard to find parking spot, hard to locate a cart, isles that are full and people stopping at every row to grab plants so expect backups. But what you'll gain by going on the weekends is so much more. We go every Mother's Day to start the planting season off and it's always packed. You learn patience real quick. But I find it relaxing to gaze at the pretty flowers and find new plants. This year I saw a Tabasco jalapeno and a pineapple tomato. Those had to go in the cart! Highly recommend, shopping local is always best, and it's easy to find and it's a great day for the entire family. I mean the kiddos love to sit or pull the carts.

Honey Plant has two rooms full of plants, so you're sure to find what you're looking for here. It's the perfect spot to get a gift for a loved one or a beautiful plant for your home. Honey Plant has a variety of ceramic pots too that look like they came out of a design catalog. When I stopped by there was a $15 design your own potted plant station filled with small pots, succulents and rocks. It's a fun activity and while I think it might have been set up for a special event, I hope they keep it going. What I appreciate most about this shop is that they will give you written instructions on how to properly care for your plant including how much light and water to give it.

I hired Joe Galbraith to landscape my front yard, and the project cost me over $10,000…read more His team did a nice job with the landscaping, but he never delivered two pieces of art I ordered as finishing touches: a pagoda for $595 and "the woman with the bowl" for $185. Joe said it would take a month to get these items, and I agreed. When a month passed with no update, I called his office and was told it would take another two weeks. After waiting again, I called to schedule delivery and found out neither piece had arrived nor was on its way from China. I heard many excuses, but I still gave Joe another three weeks. Today, when I called, I was told there was another issue, and it would be two or three more weeks. Feeling deceived, I asked for my money back. I was told Galbraith could only refund $185, not the $595 for the pagoda, because it was a special order, even though both items were "so-called" special orders, meaning they are not in the regular inventory. I ordered both from a catalog Joe gave me, but they would only refund the smaller amount. A staff member told me I would have to wait even longer for the pagoda, but could not say when it would arrive. I was treated as if I should shut up, go home, and wait. No one apologized. Instead, a woman came out of an office to shame me and blamed their importer. She acted as if I should just accept the situation. When I ordered the two statues, no one told me I could not get my money back or cancel the order. I never signed anything saying that. I want my money back. I am 80 years old and know Galbraiths has not been honest with me. I feel they think I am not sharp because of my age, but they are wrong. One staff member tried to intimidate me, but I made it clear I am neither senile nor stupid, even though she spoke to me in a condescending tone. I wanted to tell her she was being rude, but decided not to; she was too uneducated to know better. Whoever parented her did not teach her respect for older folk. I plan to contact the Better Business Bureau and share my experience on social media to let others know how Galbraiths treats its customers, especially seniors. I will also file a small claim against them. I do not care about their problems with suppliers in China or shipping; that is not my responsibility, but they tried to make it mine. They refused to refund my money. I wonder if this nursery is having financial trouble since they will not refund me for a product I no longer want and have waited almost three months for. They have pagodas on display, but they are too small for my project. I am sure when my pagoda finally arrives, Mr. Joe can sell it in his nursery; he is a clever salesman. Galbraiths sells this type of art, so it is not really a special order. If it is, the long wait is their problem, not mine as the customer. I do not recommend Galbraith's Nursery.

Zack and his female manager help us and knew that we were buying items that would not be planted right away. Infact they set up to have a guy named Tony contact us about installing our plants. Zack many times told us that the plants we buy come with a two year warrranty. Tony did not call us for three weeks! Buy then we had found someone else. I bought 4 arborvities(sp)? One of them looked different than the others when it came time to plant. We decided to have the guy that was installing them not put that one in and we took it back down to them. Well you really find out alot about a business in how they conduct themselves after the sale! The person female said she was the manager. Did not want to take the tree back. She kept stating that we had to plant it within 48 hours for the warranty to be good. I got on the phone with her and had a heated conversation. She kept saying this was all in the warranty brochure we gave you when you purchased! Duh, never gave us any info only receipt! She finally agreed to exchange the tree. Then tells us that the warranty only covers the plants you buy for two years, however, here is the CATCH, they will replace the plant once! So if your plant dies within a month. Then they give you a new one, and it dies again a month later, your done! Not much of a two year warranty. Time specific warranty usually means that you are made whole for the specified period of time. I also asked on that day that the owner calls me when he got back in. Of course never heard anything, so I spent $2500 at another business! Hope it was worth the intial sale to lose my business forever.

Most recently I came in to find a birthday gift for a friend and order a Christmas centerpiece for my mother in law. I entered the shop and noticed there were a couple of ladies working. I was not greeted at all, no eye contact even. It was as if I wasn't there. I walked around the entire store hoping they'd make contact with me but for a half an hour, I got nothing. As I was walking through, one of the employees walked past me holding a box of some sort and as she walked behind me, she let her elbow rub along my back as if I was in her way. No excuse me, no I'm sorry. I didn't know what to think! I was so terribly disappointed by my visit that I don't think I will be back for some time if ever.
