This is a Michigan family-owned business that's been around many many years I think 30 +? All English Gardens whether Clinton Township, Royal Oak, Eastpointe, Dearborn Heights, West Bloomfield are always advertising and having sales weekly or monthly.
Today, Wednesday May 9th I drove my Mom to this location on Kelly Rd near 9 Mile. Even though she was not too enthused, I was excited l help buy her some annuals to put in 3 patio pots. YES I HAVE 2 GREEN THUMBS along with great ideas for planning to organize and plant flowers in porch pots since 1991 *LOL.* plus it's very relaxing.
This location is set up the same way like the English Gardens on Garfield Rd near my home. They have flowers set up outside to view and shop for and also indoor greenhouses.
We decided to walk, view and shop outside near the parking lot and in an area that was covered up near the check out registers. The store had specials going as one can see in my photos. 1st hanging baskets buy one get a second one half off. The prices on hanging baskets, my opinion were High. I guess back in years past $14.99 for a hanging basket are gone now they're up to $29.99 or higher for a basket of 4 or 6 flower plants.
I feel it's cheaper and more fulfilling and relaxing to buy your own 4-inch pots and make your own hanging basket. *do the Math*.. pick out 4 annuals to plant and compare it to a hanging basket of 4 different plants, I'm sure it will be cheaper.
This location was stacked with healthy ready to go annuals in single 4 inch pots or a 4-pack cell or a six-pack cell.
HINT: an easy to grow and low maintenance flower with great colors and blooms is the "large culture geraniums" special was buy 2 get 3rd one free.

WE SAW MANY Extra items to buy here. Starting with patio tables, chairs, umbrellas, fire pits. Then many statues, wind chimes, spinner copper artwork for that perfect someone as a gift Or for your perfect area on your porch or in backyard.
Shoppers can always rely on English Gardens to purchase healthy plants, flowers for All Occasions year round with guarantees.
As I have said before in my review at the Garfield location, Sign up for a rewards Garden Club membership by showing your Blue Cross card.. your membership will be free.
If not, then pay a fee of $20.00 which is good for a full year. Then when you shop all year round out of the 12 months ... every item will be 10% off when checking out. It works well!
Today my Mom received 10% per item at check out with my membership card. :)
THANK you "Carrie", she was very friendly, understanding and helpful to my Mom at checkout. Offered to give us a sheet of plastic to put down when we loaded our flowers to my SUV.
Lastly, I'm glad that this English Gardens is still active, well-organized, maintained and located in this area between Saint Clair Shores, Roseville and Eastpointe because there are no farmer type markets around due to the neighborhood declining.
Their slogan, "English Gardens has the BEST selection of everything to make your life beautiful. Yes they have, yes they do, yes they always will !
I was going to select 4 stars instead of 5 for my review because the parking lot is very tight and small.. but I did not read more
