As a Columbia native, I've driven past this nursery for years, always noticing the signage from…read moreParklane Road but assuming it catered solely to commercial clients rather than residential ones. What a pleasant surprise to discover otherwise! I recently found myself on the hunt for pine straw, which seemed surprisingly scarce in the area. A quick phone call to the nursery confirmed they had plenty in stock, and I decided to stop by to pick up the eight bales I needed for my project. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by how the nursery is tucked away from the road, nestled among the trees. It felt like stepping into a hidden oasis--almost like a rainforest in the middle of Columbia! The serene setting and the incredible variety of plants instantly drew me in. They truly have a wonderful selection of greenery, with options for just about any landscaping or gardening need in the area. The staff was fantastic--friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Their warm customer service made the experience even better. I'm genuinely looking forward to visiting this gem again in the future, whether it's for another project or simply to explore and enjoy the beauty of the place.
I'm not commenting on their work because it was never done. My criticism involves lack of…read moreconsideration for my time. Twice I waited for Casey from 8am-11am, as arranged with him, and he didn't appear. Each time, I contacted him about the delay and was told that he couldn't get the equipment he needed and that he would contact me when he had it. This never happened. It didn't occur to him to get in touch with me when the equipment was unavailable. Recently I texted and asked him to let me know whether he had decided not to do the job so I could turn to someone else. He hasn't replied. I believe this is called ghosting, which is not a good business practice.

They're well-equipped to help you with your needs, whether you're looking for large items (trees, bushes) for a landscape overhaul or just looking for a bit of color for your porch. It's peaceful just to walk around the area and see what they've got. The staff is great about asking if you need help or have questions: they're very knowledgeable. I'm new to this gardening zone and have had a lot of questions about what grows here. Their recommendations have all been spot-on. These are not big-box store quality flowers. They're robust and have that certain personality (gardeners know what I'm talking about!) that plants from nurseries possess. They have trees, bushes, mosses, annuals, perennials, succulents, and plenty of other things I'm forgetting. There's a greenhouse on the premises, and the entire place is decorated with unexpected found art. And they're a local business. If you still need convincing, they have a great cat.

The farm has a lovely variety of trees - from pines to cypress to firs to cedar- there is going to be a tree for you. Parking is ample and they provide instructions upon arrival along with a map of where the different types of trees are located.

I'm currently enjoying the Frasier fir we got from them, but I am already excited for next year's tree from Hollow Creek! Highly recommend a trip to Gilbert, SC for a high quality tree.

We told her what we had wanted in the flowers and let her choose what else to pair them with. She was brilliant. Everything flowed together so perfectly. It's the little extras that she added that made them so very special. Her prices were reasonable and flowers were fresh and lasted for almost 2 full weeks after the wedding. We will use her again!! Will definitely refer her for any occasion needed. Sandra also did flowers for my father's funeral and again made everything so special. She captured every bit of him in her choice of flowers. Just a small description of what we wanted and she nailed it on both occasions. I would also recommend her for your wedding coordinator. I don't think there is anything she can not do and she takes the stress off the bride and families. Thank you Sandra Chastain for making all our life events special with your personal touches.

They stay busy so you may have to wait a couple of days before they can get to your job but well worth the wait. My mom had her 50 year old septic tank redone and Patrick and his crew were top notch.

They were punctual and no hidden costs. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Needless to say I'm not calling again.
The customer service was lacking. We arrived and stood at the desk. After several minutes, someone…read morefinally decided they should help us and told us to write down the pottery. We plan to paint and that they would set us up. So we walked around, I had not been to paint pottery in about eight years so you could consider me a novice. We found the pieces that we wanted and waited for further instruction. 15 minutes later someone finally decided they should help us again. This is after we stood at the counter, waiting to pay for our item and point out the item that we wanted to paint. At that time we learned we were supposed to pick up the item go sit at a table, and the utensils would be brought to us. We grabbed our items and sat at the table where we had water in a jar and two sponges and a laminated paper with instructions. We then went to pick the paint brushes we thought would fit our project and were told that we needed to select our own paints. No instruction on how to select the paint, luckily my sister, who is with me, helped me figure out what to grab, and how much I could grab. With what I painted, I required more paint, but the three women were so enthralled in a conversation with a gentleman at the counter, they did not come check on us to see what we needed. I finally said loudly excuse me can I get some help and someone came over. This young girl came over and offered to bring me more paint after I explained. I ran out of paint and did not know what to do with the empty paint container because none of it was explained to me and my sister decided to go get me more paint. After the young girl walked away I heard her say this is not my job. Terrible customer service! Also, no one explained to me the process of the painting, again novice at this, and I wasn't sure if I cleaned my brush on the sponges or use the water. When we were finally done with our paintings, we sat wondering what to do next. My sister decided she would stay at the table in case we did not need to bring our painted work to the front and I went to the front counter to let them know we were done. The woman said you were supposed to bring it up to the counter and pay for it now. Thanks for more instruction that you never gave, but apparently I was supposed to know. This was a terrible experience. If I could give zero stars, that's probably what I would give.
