I've been following Colonial Gardens on social media for a while and they have some fun events . I finally made it to one, plant bingo. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so fun, that I attended a second time in the same month. The event is held in their greenhouse, which makes the perfect backdrop for this event. You play three rounds of bingo with three cards each round, and each game has one plant prize, so one winner. There's a Plant Bar serving cocktails and popcorn, plus a coffee shop on site with small bites available during the event. Jessica, the events coordinator, is friendly and fun. After all games are played you have time to shop. I went during January and there wasn't an abundance of plants and flowers, but I'm looking forward to spring to check out the greenhouse when it is blooming. read more

Recently went here for an event, they are now a part of Powell Garden. Not sure if all will be the same or some changes, but I did notice not a lot of plants were sold here like before. The courtyard is always nice and you can eat, drink and enjoy whatever show they're having here. Met a young cow name red bud and he's so sweet. Can't wait to see what's new next time. read more

This is a pretty nice garden center. They have a restaurant, live music during season, they have classes, and then tons of garden stuff. (They have a ton of decor stuff too) Pricing is not bad but not great.. The people seemed pretty nice. This is a place I'd come back and se in the spring! read more

My toddler and I loved the cut flower garden! They had a good select considering it's late in the season. We can't wait to come next year during sunflower season! The walk from the store front to the garden was very cute cutting through the orchards, it is a good little walk on a gravel path so be prepared. read more

I love coming to the Cultivate Kitchen at Colonial Gardens. Their coffee is always delicious, and the outdoor seating is incredibly relaxing. You don't feel rushed, and the ambiance is amazing. This is a great place for a book club or other gathering. I just saw that you can rent the garden space out, too, if you have a larger event. I definitely recommend it! read more

When my parents were in town last week, I was really looking forward to taking Mom to this orchard to pick peaches for peach cobbler. It was the first time going here for both of us. We went on Saturday morning, 7/19. $15 for a small bag to put your peaches in and an additional $2 per adult was a rip off that day as the peaches were not even ripe, although we were told they were. Additionally, there were quite a few of them being devoured by Japanese beetles. We ended up having to go to Sprout's to get decent peaches. In the orchard's store, their plants for sale are overpriced and some of the produce, such as the cauliflower, was rotten. We both got the vibe that this place is all about the money and did not appreciate the dishonesty about the peaches. I told Mom that, although it's further away, the orchard in Weston is ten times better and we will go there next time. read more

Attended an event here and this place is absolutely stunning. Plus we love farm to table. Can't wait to go back and experience the magic again. read more

We went to their Alpaca brunch and enjoyed ourselves! For the brunch: -- fun time outside but not really any shaded areas. If you're sensitive to the sun, you may want to try a cloudy day or rethink it. -- food was good but lackluster. Expected more, if I'm honest. By more I mean more variety, more options, etc. what you get is a small packaged meal of mixed fruit, cheese-less, crust-less veggie quiche and a zucchini muffin served with water (mixed drinks available for purchase) -- it felt kind of unorganized. Since the groups to see the alpaca were small, you basically are entertaining yourself for a fair chunk of it. The music was fun, but I can't imagine keeping a kiddo under 10 entertained for that long. -- port a potties had no available water despite using the foot pump. There was soap but nothing else. There were also bathrooms in Colonial Gardens, but that was across the road. -- animals are going to animal! The alpaca were obviously the stars of the show. Sometimes they liked you. Sometimes they didn't. We loved every minute of it!! It's still a fun time regardless. It's a fun way to support agritourism. If you go in exciting a bigger event with a full assortment of breakfast items, you're going to be disappointed. Go in with real expectations and you'll have a blast. Tip: if it's rained within the last 24 hours, bring a towel to sit on. You're on outside benches on a working farm, so plan accordingly! Colonial Gardens is fun to walk around afterwards, though you'll notice that you go from one of the few early customers when the brunch begins to a packed house by the time you're done! read more

Perhaps one of the most beautiful businesses I have ever visited! Colonial Gardens was not only easy to navigate, explore, and get comfortable at, but the employees were kind, professional and as genuine as could be. ^__^ It was obvious how happy they were being apart of it all. I'm in love with the costumer service, the atmosphere it holds, and the the quality. The products are really good as well! Tons of wholesome, home-made, Well-made household décor, tools, kitchenware, and more. The farm animals there looked healthy and comfortable, their enclosures were well maintained and full of life. The animals are well-acquainted with me and everyone else who were present visiting them. Would I return to Colonial Gardens? Absolutely! With family and friends? Most definitely! I strongly recommend this place to gardening enthusiasts and straight-up nature lovers! read more

The nursery staff are all very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions when picking out new bushes. Prices prominently displayed so there is no question about the cost of the plants and the installation services. read more

Beautiful flower selection and friendly staff. I took mom on mother's day weekend to get her some flowers and it was jam packed, but the lines at the registers moved quickly and they had plenty of staff milling about to help customers. My only disappointment was that they only had the gorgeous black petunias in large arrangements with another yellow flower, and not for sale as individual plants (they had sold out already). I haven't been here for awhile, and boy has this place grown! Multiple greenhouses, the tree/bush area, and even a restaurant on site! They now also do events, I will have to get out to one of those soon. read more

Cultivate Cafe at Colonial Gardens is a great cafe for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. They have a short menu and selection of coffee items. Also a beautiful spot inside the nursery. read more

As soon as my guest and I walked in we instantly felt welcomed by Colonial Gardens staff. We all know it's easy to spot when someone hates their job, but here everyone seemed genuinely happy and PROUD. This place has it all! Farm, plant nursery, store front, farm to table restaurant, workshops, classes... basically all of your agriculture dreams in one spot! One thing I noticed is that they are very well priced! Especially for the quality! I didn't see any plants that were dead or dying. The education they are willing to provide around the plants is an added bonus! I got to enjoy some food from their farm to table cafe, and let me just say... FRESHHHHHHH! I can't wait to go back for my next indoor plant and spring outdoor selections! read more

This place is INSANELY cool. Great food, great atmosphere. I had the curry wrap, an iced mocha, and a chicken tortilla soup. All of it was very tasty. The environment and decor were spot on. Honestly I was surprised to see this place had 4 stars, I thought for sure it would be a 4.5. If you're looking for a cute, unique, farm-to-table type experienced, this place is amazing. We went here for my wife's b day and she was very happy. read more

Plant lovers- this place is for you! There are soo many different types of plants for all types of plant parents! There were a lot of staff members available to help answer any questions! The courtyard area is stunning and definitely worth checking out! There is live music events! Big Bertha is a huge greenhouse for their warm temperature plants, and it's incredible to see how big everything is when it is cared for very carefully! They have a tiny farmers market at the front of the store with lots of unique things! Highly recommend! read more

As a new resident in the area, Colonial Gardens has become my go-to for buying plants, tree planting services, and a place for me to unwind while enjoying live music. It is a beautiful oasis where you can roam around and discover a myriad of plants, wine, cheese, pottery, etc. They have a cafe, music and wine nights, workshops, a market with local foodstuffs, farm to table dinners, and so much more! read more

Colonial Gardens was featured on the local news last week so we decided to go check it out. We live near Suburban so we weren't totally wowed by the plants but the little farmer's market inside was so unique and truly had a lot of produce, cheese and treats. There is also a good selection of packaged items that would make great hostess gifts. They have a lot of pots to select from but I felt a little on the pricey side. We needed help finding an aloe plant and the employee was very kind and patient. I would like to go back and try their cafe one day but I think I will stick to Suburban for my plants, only because Colonial is 30 minutes away. read more

I went to Colonial to help my daughter with her landscaping project. I had the greatest luck to get Louise to help me with the order. I am older and use a cane and she was so kind to drive me to the different greenhouses in her golf cart. She was so knowledgeable about the different plants, cost and color coordination. She did not pressure me to use their services but gave me an estimate so I could make the decision. We decided to let them do it all. The cost was excellent. I would highly recommend Louise at Colonial Gardens. read more

Did Not Expect to Bee Surprised! Turning off Wyatt Road in Blue Springs, my first surprise was that all I could see was a garden center! It was an amazing garden center with what looked to be well over an acre of plants, flowers, trees, seeds, and everything "garden" one would need - but I thought I was going to an out door restaurant! After parking in their large private lot, I found a beautiful outdoor garden cafe complete with live music and an outdoor fireplace! Finding a table I was overwhelmed by the serenity of the venue surrounded by flowering plants and trees, along with a very good folk group on their stage! Everything melted into a relaxing mixture of sights, sounds, and smells that set the perfect tone for a leisurely brunch. As I eased into a light breakfast of bacon and scrambled eggs, I dug into a very delightful waffle that was crunchy but tender with a great flavor. It seemed as if syrup was cooked into it before a light drizzle to finish it off. That was when I realized that I should have taken a table near the smoke from the fireplace. If I would have been an entomologist I might have remembered that bees are drawn to flowering plants and sweet syrup!. As that bit of tantilizing waffle got to my mouth I too late noticed a bee had landed on the leading edge of my fork. Before I could react he stung my lower lip! Needless to say he did not survive "our" breakfast! But I did figure out that by placing a napkin over the waffle I could sneak bites in relative autonomy from the local predators. As staff consoled me, I did realize the errors of my ways, and that I should work on my situational awareness during future trips there. Yes, my own fault and yet another "life learning experience!" Did this turn me away from returning? No way! Now that I fully understand the food chain, I will gladly return to Colonial Gardens for future brunches (their wine list is perfectly matched to their menu and environment). And I highly recommend slipping out to Blue Springs, Colonial Gardens for a well deserved, relaxing, brunch! Just do not bee surprised! read more

Plant moms, plant dads, I think I found your favorite hang out. Colonial Gardens is no basic garden shop, this is a gardening experience. They provided their customers with a wide variety of gardening tools, products, and services, but what did I say, "it's an experience". Customers can walk through the gardens where they will find some very happy plants, living their very best lives; Or to the garden patio area to experience the environment while they eat a freshly cooked meal, and drink from a wonderful selection of wines and spirits; or you can experience the farm, see some chickens, some alpacas. I personally enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and food. The lamb meatballs are delicious. This a true happy place, ran by some wonderful caring individuals. Stop by, take a look, you'll see what I mean. read more

A nursery, a cafe, and a gorgeous indoor garden event space that the brilliant minds at Colonial Gardens have created for it's community. I was invited to a Wine in the Gardens event, live music, delicious food, and surrounded by a lush garden. The cafe owner is exactly who you would want her to be. Contagious passion for feeding people well made, healthy, tasty food. "In the winter I just walk through the green house picking what I need for fresh tabbouleh". Can we be friends?! All the staff were wonderful human beings and I'm only sad that it took this long to find them. Live music was easy on the ears fun, and you can move close and dance or further back to chat with friends. Indoor nursery is open year round and closed only 4 days a year. Right now they are having an end of summer sale, saw lots of 50% off signs. If this event is any indication for the quality of future events, count me in. I have already added in their Farm Fest to my calendar available some weekends in September & October. Includes live music, food, hay rides, games, s'mores, a maze, raspberry picking, pumpkin patch at $5 a person, ummmm yes please! read more

My sister-in-law and I are plant enthusiasts, with over 70 indoor plants between the two of us and even more outdoor plants. We typically frequent Family Tree in OP, which still remains superior with indoor plant selections and pot selections, but Colonial Gardens outdoor selection is unbeatable. Each employee we encountered was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The prices varied, with some being under average and some slightly above, but they were mostly comparable to other nurseries. You definitely get what you're paying for! read more

Beautiful place. All the workers were extremely helpful and kind. It's kept so clean. Definitely a place to come shop and relax

I visited this location to buy rocks with a friend. Colonial Nursery carries rocks. Being a rock snob I feel I know my products and the price. I loved the nursery part of Colonial Nursery. They even have fairy garden supplies and beautiful fountains. Plus, and this is huge. They carry They carry Holistic Grain Free dog food...every reason to return. As for rocks, its fine for a local place....but I am used to making large hauls and being provided a plastic bag to gather them in. I asked about their rocks and they told me the rocks are in the back. No bag...wait....okay. My friend selected large rocks and placed them on a shelf all the way back to the outside entrance. I finally located a small box. But I was hoping to atleast be given a bag cause when i buy rocks I buy 30 of them, not 7. We then went to the counter and once we found the other rocks we needed and went to pay, they weren't sure of the prices. Prices rank with the other 2 locations, but House of Rocks being a little better priced with more selection. This is not my favorite place to buy rocks...but the rest of the selection is amazing and their dog food, one of the more healthiest for my dog with grain allergies. read more

Still no response from management. I have called and left messages and written -- nothing.

The range of plants is amazing! It's beautifully laid out and the price point for plants beats most other nurseries. Only giving a four because their pots are a little pricey but not more than I've seen elsewhere read more

Colonial Gardens is not a greenhouse, but an experience. Do you like clean, fancy, lots of help? Do you care that you are paying more for great service and selection? Do you like to sip wine/beer while you shop? Do you want to bring your well-behaved canine to help you pick out plants? If yes to these questions, CG is for you! In addition, they have fabulous events for family! The only drawback is you will want to go there EVERY WEEKEND! read more

Such a treat being able to shop for plants and eat at the Bean Counter Cafe during the Pandemic. They stayed open!!! Thank you!

Beautiful hanging baskets!!!! Great selection of healthy plants and the Bean Counter Cafe is wonderful. I even used them for my Christmas brunch this year! They have unique outdoor garden decor and all the employees know their stuff!!! I give them 5 stars hands down! read more

Love going to Colonial Gardens! Recently became a plant person and started out by taking a class Colonial Gardens offered on indoor plants. The class was fun and informative. We were given a discount to shop with for completion of the class. I picked out a couple plants I thought (and hoped) I could keep alive and some very nice employees helped me repot it and talked with me about the soil. So far I've kept my plants and have added to my plant collection! read more

Our power went out so we went to breakfast at Colonial Gardens. Terrible service - the waitress was very rude. She brought my husband a danish and said "this is not a representation of how we feel about you". It was tiny, cold and old. I could hear the kitchen staff cutting and whomever it was said "shit" while conversing with other staff. I will never go back nor recommend anyone go there. I miss Bean Counter - but they are reopening on Main Street! I cannot wait! read more

Bad experience. We walked the entire area and asked 5 different people trying to find an advertised tree. Each person just sent us on to someone else refusing to take responsibility to help us. We will never go there again even though we live close. read more

I purchased and planted 24 plants and 6 died. We have a sprinkler system and they were watered regularly. When I call the store I was told, no warranty. I was told from the Store Manager, Gary that he would not provide any assistance. NOT even a discount on new plants! At these high prices, with no warranty... I will not be back!!! read more

We went here last year and were pleasantly surprised. We went back this year and were highly disappointed. They stopped apple picking by 1:00, the tractor stopped giving rides by 3:00 and the raspberries were picked over. Paying $30 for my family to get in, I feel we did not get our money's worth. I understand this is a COVID year but still pretty disappointed this year. read more
