I'm following up on my previous review of Delaney nursery. We bought two expensive maple trees, both of which have not performed well. The good news is that John @ Delaney's replied with an in-depth response as to what may be affecting the performance of these two trees. Therefore, I have changed my rating and review. read more

Walked into store and 3 workers, that weren't busy, looked at all 3 of us and didn't say one word, and just kind of wandered off. We kept walking through towards the outside. We passed the actual owner and she didn't even say hi or can I help you with anything she walked straight passed us, looked around and seen other people further across the store and went and said hi to them and asked if they needed help. Maybe she thought because we were brown that we weren't there to spend any money and she didn't want to waste her time. We still kinda looked around and thought maybe somebody would help us. The prices were extremely high and nobody helped so we just left. read more

Been here for 22 years and I can't even count the number of people who've told me, "don't go to Delaney's ". I finally went there anyway. Bought strong liquid weed killer, took it directly home, when my husband pulled it out of the bag the top flew off and large amounts of poisonous weed killer flew into my husband's mouth, all over the front and back of the car, and into a new pot I bought. When I talked the front manager about it I was shocked at how non-compassionate, rude, and dismissive she was. I just spent 2 hours straight inside my car with the outside thermometer 100° trying to scrub poison off of my leather as I was told to do by the manufacturer .The poison control also said that my husband could get a myriad of painful G.I. symptoms. When the front manager heard this she said in a dry/sarcastic tone, "Well, I'm glad he won' t die ". I told her that every store should back the products they sell. She replied, "no we don't, we don't have to stand behind the products we sell, we don't have to stand behind any product we sell....." she kept saying that over and over, talking over me. The refund they were supposed to give me for the poisonous weed killer showed a debit from my credit card by them instead of a credit. Then it showed a credit by them, which was the same amount as they debited, so basically instead of the credit I was supposed to get they gave me zero dollars. When I spoke to the front manager about it she immediately raised her voice to me on the phone and then I realized it wasn't worth the money, so I just got off the phone. I really don't think I have been treated worse by any store in my life. Also of note: Before this incident I checked the price of some large ceramic pots(not on sale ),at a specialty plant store in Kalispell, I saw the EXACT same pots at Delaney's but they cost over twice as much. If you're in the mood to throw your money away be treated like dirt, this is your place. read more

Expect only great experiences buying plants & supplements here. The staff is the most friendly & knowledgeable that I've had the pleasure of meeting in the valley & I've bought hundreds of plants everywhere: CFalls - Kalispell - Bigfork. These folks are happy to spend time explaining & helping find what plants will do well in my yard that seems to be a kaleidoscope of sun & shade that confuses many of my plants. Colleen is especially wonderful. The last time I was there, I had a much appreciated no nonsense mini Master Gardener lesson - how to plant in different kinds of soils, how to amend the soil, how to protect against critter damage, what supplements the different plants need to thrive, etc etc. It was enlightening! They also provide written directions to take home. I've been working on growing my perennial garden the past few years & it's disappointing when a plant doesn't make it (esp an expensive one!) Even if you know what you're doing, Delaney's has a fabulous & reasonably priced selection of healthy annuals, perennials, trees, tons of herbs & veggies. They even have onions & potatoes (inc smart potato 'bags' to grow in) - and who doesn't love fresh potatoes from your own garden? On the way out, or in, check out their garden accessories... a great place to find extras or gifts for your favorite plant lover! Enjoy ! read more
