I went very early in the season and some of the edibles I wanted weren't quite ready for sale. I was impressed to learn they had many varieties of tomatoes (bush and vine, cherry, grape, beefsteak, etc) and many variations of herbs (culinary and ornamental rosemary, assortments of lavender, thymes). Since I also went early in the day, everything was well stocked, I had a crew member show me to each item I was looking for, and it was still pleasantly cool in all the green houses. Basically, it was paradise for me for the time I was there. As a hobby gardener who only has container plants on my patio, I appreciated the extra help and pointers when I had questions. This is high on my list of places to go when I'm looking to pick up a new plant.

I'll admit to being a simple creature, but I found this place pretty magical. They have multiple…read morehuge greenhouses with a super wide variety of plants, both decorative and edible. The edible was what I was there for: we spent ages deciding between different varieties of (very healthy) cucumber starts and patio tomatoes. They even have stuff that I'd never seen in a nursery around here before, like lemongrass. Even if you don't have any pressing need for petunias, the greenhouses are a really nice environment for wandering around and smelling the flowers for a while.

I am handicapped and use a mobility scooter to get around. The Manager of Brookside came to me as I got to my car to ask if everything at the nursery was easy for me to navigate around. I am very impressed with her inquiry, as the state of NY is not a very handicapped accessible. To know that Brookside actually considers that is amazing and I will definately be back. Their plants and flowers are all very healthy and they had a large supply of well established beautiful fuschias, one of which I purchased! I had been all over Clifton Park looking for a hanging fuschia basketbut did not find one. The other employees are all very friendly and helpful also.

Then, several visits and purchases over the years make me feel comfortable and excited enough to revisit, mostly this location. The most recent visit was no exception. Colourful annuals fit for the spring were aplenty both in the front and the back of the store, and we found plants here that we hadn't seen at any other major garden centre in the Capital Region so far. Maiden grass was the awesome find on the most recent visit, and the staff at checkout answered our questions about plant care which was very helpful. The prices appear to be competitive, as we found both lower, equivalent, and higher prices compared to several garden centres in the area. Parking here has not been an issue and they have their own parking lot, and we appreciated they were open till 7pm when some other stores were closed. I hope they stay open for a long time.

A lawn and garden center should have good curb appeal to make a first impression, right? Among the…read moreHewitt's I have visited or driven by, this one does have good curb appeal, at least from driving by on Western Avenue. I wish their parking lot had more appeal though, it's badly in need of re-paving. Once you're actually inside, you'll find there's a lot more to check out than you can see from Western Avenue as well. Visiting at the end of the season is a bit of a 2-edged sword. They're out of a lot of things right now as they stock up for fall and Christmas promotions. But at the same time, you can get some really good deals on close-out items, as I did this time. This store is well staffed and everyone there was friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to coming back here as their seasonal inventories change.

I'm breaking that dry cycle tonight. I just had to rave about this incredibly, talented and thoughtful florist named Laurel with 35 years experience. My NY friend and I are both Oregon Duck fans, so, luckily, Laurel had a porcelain duck on her shelf and then stuffed it with bright yellow flowers to capture the Ducks' team colors..green & yellow. Laurel totally went the extra mile for my order (she's also very reasonable). She even delivered it herself. From me ordering..to her delivering.. it only took a couple of hours.
