What a beautiful nursery!!! Makes me want to improve my living space. Whether living in a home or condo or apartment, this place has lots of ideas, plants, trees, flowers for purchase. Whether a huge backyard, small patio, sunroom, or somewhere in between...they got you covered. Even if you enjoy a bird watching hobby, or just want to add sound (wind chimes) or water features (fountains) or color (flowers galore) or whimsy (fairy garden) or a seat (or several) for relaxing or entertaining ...you can find it here. Let's say you want fresh fruits or vegetables from local farmers...you can find it here. There's even a great gift box idea where you can create a personalized box of canned produce, sauces, etc. I really enjoyed walking around this large place while enjoying free fresh water, fresh fruit samples and a (purchased) cold ice cream sandwich that was DELICIOUS! It's unfortunate I live 2500 miles (and a plane ride) away. But I'm going back there with lots of ideas from my afternoon at Cold Creek. read more

Cold creek is the best nursery in the area. They have it all here: a great selection of any garden plant you can think of, a little shop of locally made canned and fresh foods, a garden shop, and beautiful displays to get ideas flowing for your own garden. I have never seen such a comprehensive collection of camellias, and you can find basically any variety (or something very close to it) that you're looking for. They also have a fantastic carnivorous plant section that is a lot of fun to just browse. The workers here are lovely and clearly love their job. There's always one close by to answer questions and help decided on what to get. Cold creek can be on the pricier side compared to big box stores, but you definitely pay for what you get here, and the extra cost is worth it! read more

Great service ! Thank you all for helping finding pollinators plus supplying milkweed. read more

Cold Creek Nurseries - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

After waiting 4 months for my gardener to finish my landscaping I went to Cold Creek for help. Not only did they help me pick out plants that were suitable for the two area's that needed an overhaul, but they came out two weeks later and planted them (if I were not busy on the day they wanted to schedule me for it would of only been a week later). What excellent service. The young lady who came with another helper was very helpful at selecting where the plants should be planted that I had picked out. It was a very hot day and yet they went right at it and completed the job quickly doing an excellent job and with a good attitude. I will definitely be using them again. read more

I drove past Cold Creek quite a few times before actually stopping in. We thought it looked expensive and while we were mostly correct, they do have a great selection and have some more affordable options for things. It's also nice to shop local when we can afford it and Cold Creek is a pleasure to explore. They have a nice little market too with local goods (fresh and shelf stable food too!). Every employee we encountered offered to help us and were very friendly. If money were no object, we'd probably shop here all the time! My favorite part was the carnivorous plant section... some really neat things there! read more

A friend told me about this place and I decided to go on my day off. Ended up spending almost 2 hours there!! I'm always looking for different plants that are more unique than the regular double knockout roses for my yard and this place did not disappoint! Beautiful and well kept, the staff was amazing and knowledgeable. One of them helped me with picking out hydrangeas and figuring out how much Sun the ones I was eyeing would need. So I'll be back once I figure it out! I loved the indoor garden and became obsessed with the fuchsia there, so had to buy one! It was 50% off. They also had an indoor market with fresh fruits and veggies from local SC farms. They also sell take-and-bake items. And delicious refreshing fruit infused water was free. So check it out, y'all! Maybe I'll see you there! read more

Ever heard of Idioms/Proverbs? Loyalty or Respect? Don't Judge a book by its cover. One bad apple can spoil a bunch. What started off very rocky with the planning process (the planner!), turned out amazing. To be perfectly honest, due to David, years of experience with Cold Creek, knowing the work ethic, and seeing the quality of work the company has and can produced is what kept us around. We are true believers of you get what you pay for, BUT sometimes you shouldn't have to go through too much to get there. You truly have amazing professionals who genuinely love what they do; David, Goldie, Ryan, Casey, Dedra and their crew who are unbelievably skilled and extremely enthusiastic about their God given talent/craft!! The cover (planner/administrative process) just messed up the fairytale of the experience and unfortunately the residual of that affected the ideal perfect ending of the story, lol/wink wink! We truly do appreciate your professionalism, compassion, understanding and willingness to listen and work "WITH" us and not against us with our concerns/issues/complaints to give us a quality product that will last for generations! read more

Great service selection and personnel. The gift shop is fun. The market place has a great selection. Reasonably priced. read more

The staff is GREAT. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I've attended a houseplant class, and a sourdough starter class here. In addition I've purchased plants and other items for the market!!! read more

Staff are very helpful. I enjoy going to this nursery. I had a few problems with some shrubs I purchased and Bliss helped organize the replacement and delivery of the new ones. The Nursery is lovely with a nice variety of plants. read more

Beautiful plants, poor customer service. Numerous employees standing around talking to each other, absolutely no offer of assistance from any of them. We picked out our plants and asked how to pay for them, they said just pull off the tags and bring them inside. We are elderly and no offer to load in our truck or any assistance of any kind. Owner needs to clean house and get employees who care about their job. Won't be back. read more

We were new in town, and Cold Creek was recommended to us. We had them completely redo our front yard, which was basically red clay and sand! After having fun walking around at the nursery with one of the very knowledgeable employees, we picked out the plants, shrubs and placed an order for a good size flowering cherry tree. They did an excellent job, including fixing the sprinkler system and totally redoing our front yard. The employees working on the yard were great guys, and worked hard in the heat. (I was so concerned! ) We even had neighbors stop and complemented the guys working about what a great job they were doing. We've since had some issues with our lawn, but not of any fault of Cold Creek. When I want to buy a healthy, full houseplant, Cold Creek is where I head. We've attended a number of lectures they've had, and events they've had with different vendor's. I recommend this business for special gift purchases, plants, and landscape work! read more

Not one person offered to help me! I knew what I wanted , however what happen to all the knowledgeable people and friendly employees?

I've been going to Cold Creek for many years. I went a few weeks ago and only a few staff members smiled. I let it go; no one is at their best all the time. I went in last week and you could feel much animosity in the staff. The air was tense. Only two people I'm familiar with spoke to me. They have been working there for many years. Everyone else just glared. I've always been greeted warmly but something has changed this year. I left and didn't purchase anything. I hope what ever was wrong changes soon. This behavior is different. Everyone in there is always busy but this is a different vibe. There is no longer any joy. Yes, a lot of their plants are overpriced but people don't mind spending more if they are treated well. read more

My absolute favorite nursery to visit! Sometimes I go just to wander around, looking at and smelling all the amazing plants. It seems like they're under new ownership and changing a few things around. I'm hopeful CCN will keep the same welcoming, down home vibe it's always had. They offer classes and events that are perfect for the whole family. There are outdoor options, a greenhouse, a small market with fresh and frozen farm foods available, and pretty much any kind of pot or accessory you can imagine. CCN also offers delivery and landscaping. Check it out! What's your favorite part if you've already been? read more

Went here for the first time in years and it is waaay different. Lost that "homey" feeling. Fancy stuff that caters to rich people and doesn't really have to do with gardening. The people in the greenhouse-shopping areas didn't offer any greeting or help either, I ended up just leaving. Not the place I came to a few years ago. read more

We've been a customer of Cold Creek for years. I shop the retail nursery for our indoor plants, and the maintenance side keeps our beautiful yard all year round. I utilize the spray and fertilizer teams for our shrubs and lawn with specifically developed formulas from soil samples taken each year. 8 years ago, I didn't have a single plant in our backyard and a half-dozen shrubs in the front. The landscaping team, led by Jonathan have transformed the front with the envy of our neighbors and an oasis for us in the back. We have a wishing well in the front circled by roses, along with azaleas. They've installed a sidewalk passing thru an arbor and to a gate leading to the patio. The landscaping team installed a path from the patio leading to a bench on the highest part of the yard. They've planted 2 dozen roses and a 1500 sq ft wildflower patch, book-ended by 25' hollies. But the crowning touch is the maintenance crew, led by Walt with weekly visits which keep our yard "top shelf". The most important note is they have all put up with a nit-picky, high maintenance senior, and they do it all with a smile. Each time and every time. read more

By far, the nicest nursery I've been to. I live in Columbia but will be coming back in the future. Plants are so well cared for and it's clear these folks are the best in the business. 10/10 review from me. read more

Overpriced, poor service, terrible products. Planted the wrong colors. Stripped down the trees that were ordered to create privacy, then responded with, "oh well"! Landscaped .40 of an acre and didn't take into consideration the hill and drainage when plans were designed. Never again! read more

TERRIBLE!!! STAY AWAY. My very expensive landscape job include a meth user running a backhoe and starting a fight with his boss, a supervisor who made passes at my wife, a designer who disappeared after the project began, multiple attempts to fix issues that resulted from poor layout and execution and... Vince and Alex... the only people that can be trusted and actually follow thru. This was an enormous waste of time and money. Two years later they're still trying to 'get it right'. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY read more

Great nursery. Large variety of both indoor and outdoor selections. They carry everything from small succulent or Fairy gardens, bonsai, fruit trees to landscaping shrubs. read more

I had a horrible experience. Staff never responds to inquiries despite numerous calls the worse part was the design team ridiculed my yard. Not something I expected. They currently have my money and nothing scheduled to install.. read more

Beautiful selection, and well kept. Why the 3 stars? Staff was incredibly rude. We stopped by for the first time this past Saturday, and spent 45 mins there. Not a single staff member greeted us, asked if we needed assistance, etc. When we got there, it was later in the afternoon, and again- our first time there. We parked our car, and got out. As we did, a man working there was rapping up his assistance with a couple. They walked off and the worker looked at us, as we took in the grounds, trying to decide to go inside first or not... He made eye contact with us, I smiled, and he got in his cart and drove off. We decided to go inside first, as we overheard the worker tell the couple there was a beautiful gift shop, market, and more plants to look at inside. We walk in, and two employees were standing to the right, stopped their conversation, looked at us as we walked in and proceeded talking. We walked the main store, looking at the beautiful curation of goods and admired the decorating. We walked into the greenhouse, several workers milling about as if bored, and killing time. We stopped by as we are officially living full time on our newly purchased 20 acres. We were hoping to look for plants to landscape around our home, as well as landscaping around our chicken and duck coops. We walked the entire greenhouse, ooh'd and ah'd at a ton of plants. We were truly impressed by the selection, and upkeep/quality but we grew overwhelmed, especially for our reasoning for stopping. We ended up spending majority of time at succulents as we know a great deal about them. Ultimately, we purchased a few, and wasn't spoken to until at checkout. Idk what the issue was, why some guests were greeted, and even assisted after typical pleasantries, while we weren't even given a hello. read more

They only get 4 stars for the selection of plants they have. I suggest customers look elsewhere for other services. I was told by neighbors that Cold Creek had an excellent lawn care service. I wouldn't know though. Seven calls and messaging on FB with someone still no estimate on lawn care. Best to go elsewhere for services just buy your plants there. read more

I've visited here a few times and was impressed with the selection of houseplants. The prices on a lot of things were really reasonable compared to other local nurseries. I was able to find to lots from my wish list! Definitely plan to revisit again! read more

My husband and I had this business do a large landscaping project for us. They designed and installed. About 20% of the plants died. When I contacted Cold Creek, they came out to look at the plants but said they would not warranty past 90 days. We spent $17k in landscaping and now 2 trees and about 8 shrubs have to be replaced at our expense. I contacted Cold Creek 6 months after the installation. Even the big box stores warranty their plants for one year. Poor service from such a well known landscape business in Aiken. read more

plants don't look like they used to and way too high priced. couldn't find help when I needed it and when I did employee was rude. i would rather get my plants from Walmart than ever go there again. read more

I love this place! I call it my "happy place". I've been a customer for about 7 years now and I enjoy it because I can find unique plants that you cannot find at, say, a Lowes or Home Depot. I'm primarily a vegetable gardener. I can find herbs there that I can't find in other places such as lemongrass and curry. I'm also a chilehead and can find some chiles there that are not available in other places such as the lemon drop, Bulgarian carrot, and the Peter pepper to name a few. The prices for the peppers are cheaper (2.99) than the aforementioned stores, while the herbs are higher at 4.99. However, I don't mind paying 4.99 for a lemongrass plant because it's unlikely I'll find it anywhere else, locally. My mom is also a plantaholic and I shop here fo gifts for her and she loves them. I always try to buy her something she has never seen like the chenille plant or shrimp plant. I was finally able to bring her here and she was in awe of the huge pitcher plants hanging and many other plants. Service is always great. You are greeted when you walk in and they are always helpful. Sometimes I go, not just to buy anything, but to take in the beauty of the vast amount of plants they have to offer. The only reason my rating is not a 5 is due to the prices. Overall, they are higher than other nurseries, however, the selection is also better than most. read more

We attended the grand reopening!! WOW, what a great place! We love the staff and the huge variety of plants and flowers. This is definately the best place in Aiken for all of your gardening needs. read more

Used to be a place we relied upon. Some of the staff are exceptional but when ordering a delivery and planting, service is unreliable and wait times are long. We were promised a delivery that never came on the day promised read more

Love this place. Great place to peruse and dream where to put their beautiful selection of plants. Pat and Sharon helped us w several plants we were considering. Their prices are reasonable and the selections are fabulous. Love love love this place. Thank you! read more

A poor performance by Cold Creek. Tried to get planted about 10 bushes in our yard. Had one visit from Cold Creek to review what we wanted. Then got an email from Cold Creek offering three options. Selected one option two days later. Then never heard again heard from Cold Creek, despite a couple of emails to the person who gave us the estimate. After eight weeks we cancelled the order. read more

I like the lawn care part of this business but the nursery itself leaves much to be desired. My mom and I went in there yesterday because we were told that they would have a new shipment of plants that we wanted to purchase for our yard. When we got there the plants looked just as bad as the old ones. We went to Lowe's and found much better looking plants that look great in our yard. read more

Ive been there twice and both times the manager has been beyond rude. The staff are lovely and the store has beautiful stuff, however the manager represents that store and she is nasty. I see signs all over Aiken about character, generosity and kindness she should pay attention to them! read more

Had Cold Creek come and pull weeds, use roundup and reedge bedding. First time was great. Second time roundup was sprayed on the lawn which it killed and some plants as well. Charged us 1100.00 for 4 visits. Last two we asked the staff not to spray since they were killing our plants. Beware of " mantainence service" We were told CC charges 37.00 per hour per person, to pull weeds and edge. Wow. Wish I could make that per hour having no technical skills. What a rip off. Will never use them again. Beware of charges before you get service from Cold Creek. read more

Was told they would order a Golden Rain Tree for me been a year, checked with them twice and have heard nothing since?

I agree with a previous review which states that it is not nearly as good as it used to be. I have been trying to get some advice on two trees I bought from them a few months ago. Last week I got a response that made no sense. So far today, I have been disconnected while waiting for an answer. I just got another from someone who said the first person was totally wrong. What the first person told me made the situation wrong. read more

Overpriced and service is terrible. They priced a tree for me and we loaded it up. When I went in to pay, they said the price was 3X the price. They said to bad, they can sell these all day long. You've got to be kidding me!! They obviously don't need my business. So to sum it up, they have no honor and don't keep their word. read more

Called today and asked if they had a specific product and was told they would call back. Within 1 hour they did call back and said they had the product. Drove 25 miles 1 way to find they did not have the product and hadn't had it for a while. No effort to help from there and essentially walked away and said I'm sorry. May be a great place but terrible customer service. read more
