They also carry some common garden plants too. Their grounds carry everything from foundational trees and shrubs to easy growing flowers to veggies and fruits. They also have sections organized by Deer Resistant, Veggies, Shade Shrubs, Sun, Partial Shade, Trees, Partial Shade Flowers, etc. It's easy to find your way around, though the staff will gladly help too. I found their nursery to be sizeable but not overwhelming. As someone who is newer to gardening I thought their signage is some of the best I have ever seen- on every plant variety they have a big sign with its common name, genius, zones, size, sun/shade needs, if the plant is native or not, and unique features, along with clear pricing. The signage was useful in making sure the plants would be happy at my home, though all the plants I looked at seemed fairly robust period. I wound up with some shade loving white wood asters, sun loving sunflowers, and brown-eyed susans. While I'm a newbie gardener I think more experienced gardeners would be happy here too given all the options and knowledge at hand. They do have a big commercial/pickup side and offer landscaping and hardscaping services for those who are interested. I thought car parking was easy but I was also visiting towards the end of the end of a day on a weekday.

Most of my extended family is in the Cortland area -- whenever I send flowers anywhere, birthdays,…read moreanniversaries, funerals, etc -- I call (or order online) from Shaw & Boehler. The flowers are beautiful every time, and the staff is so nice and helpful. As a recent example, I ordered flowers to be sent to my Grandma on her birthday. She's an older lady. I was on the phone with her when her flowers were delivered (and she actually had two -- my mom ordered her flowers as well!). The delivery person offered to bring the flowers in, made suggestions in her home on where they would look nice, told her happy birthday 3-6 times, offered a birthday hug AND asked if she could get my Grandma anything before she left. I wish I could've hugged her through the phone! She went above and beyond to personalize the delivery and make my Grandma feel special. I remember these folks being like this since I was a little kid -- so I'm glad to say my family has been customers for the better part of at least 50+ years. Don't make the mistake of going to any other florist in Cortland. ;)

I cannot give this place enough stars! We have been…read morepurchasing our shrubs/trees/plants from them for years. The quality is top notch and we often receive compliments on our beautiful backyard! This year, we have decided to do some work out front and have already purchased shrubs for our project. The staff is not only knowledgeable and accommodating, but they are fun and so welcoming that I leave every visit feeling like I have just visited family ( the kind you actually like). Don't miss the opportunity to visit and buy some high quality items for all of your gardening/landscaping needs. Also, the prices are better than any I've found at other nurseries.... We've recently purchased a Japanese Maple that was priced almost $200 more at an alternate establishment!

We had our wedding here in July of 2021, rescheduled from October 2020. All sorts of things came up…read morethat we're never told to us during our initial meetings. Management is lazy, tried to tell us we couldn't have more than 150 people (this is after all Covid restrictions were lifted this past summer). When we pushed them on this they allowed us 200 People max. Keep in mind their website says seating up to 350 people. Then they told us we needed to rent our own chairs for under the tent because their chairs would be set up for the outdoor ceremony (none of this was ever told To us before when we originally met and told them We had a number of 250-300 people). The day of our wedding we were told we could come anytime and take our pictures. We showed up at 430 for pictures, guests starting arriving at 530 but weren't allowed in until six or so. The contract says you have five hours and we ended our event at 930. Even if you count 530 as the start time (even though staff didn't do anything since guests were held in the parking lot) our event did not go 5 hours yet we were charged for overtime!! So did not get our security deposit back due to that nonsense. Also the venue wouldn't allow us to have a decorator and said they would do it all themselves.... Well when they realized they were not able to decorate the tent adequately they finally allowed a decorator. It was very hard to get in touch with anyone there either during the planning process we often sent 3 or 4 emails or texts before we got a response. It's a beautiful venue but not worth all the BS they put you through. Super hard to work with, lots of hidden costs and just not professional people. Would not recommend!!!

I refuse to use any of that 1-800-Flowers stuff, I search out and only do business directly with a local florist, one that has a storefront and that I can speak with directly. I sent a sample image to Arnolds Florist in Homer, NY (Finger Lakes Region). Lynn followed my request and suggestions, she was helpful, polite and assured me everything including delivery on time would be seamless, and it was, very pleased. I might suggest that if Arnolds is looking for more business, they increase their online presence, but maybe they have all the business they can handle, they know better than I do. I do know how expensive staff is. See Arnolds handiwork below. I highly recommend.
