I live in the neighborhood and frequently walk my dog near this property. During a recent walk, my…read moredog's ball accidentally ended up near their property, so I was briefly looking for it. A woman walked all the way over to ask whether I was looking for the store. When I explained that I wasn't a customer and was simply a neighbor looking for my dog's ball and leaving, she immediately told me that the property was private and my dog needed to be leashed. I was barely on the property and had no intention of staying. While I understand that private property should be respected, the interaction felt unnecessarily unwelcoming. It's disappointing to experience this kind of attitude from a business in your own neighborhood. This definitely left a bad impression. A little kindness goes a long way.

I can't even tell you how many times I have driven by this place, but never stopped in. So today my…read moredaughter and I decided to check it out. We were so glad we did! This place is truly amazing. There are so many awesome things you can buy from seasonal decorations to stationary to handmade artisan work. And their plants are phenomenal. I honestly didn't look at any prices because we weren't there to buy anything, but I will definitely be back another time to make a purchase. There is so much to see here! We also accidentally strolled into one of their outdoor areas that was restricted because we were gaping at all of the amazing plants and didn't notice the signs. The employee working there didn't say anything to us, but just grinned when we realized we weren't supposed to be there. We really appreciated the fact that she was not upset with us, at least not out loud. LOL.

I cannot say enough good things about Fertile Garden Center! From the moment I walked in, the staff…read morewere incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, exactly what you want when you're trying to figure out the right plants for your space. Darrel in particular went above and beyond. I was looking for flowers and plants for my balcony, and he took the time to walk me through everything: which plants would be safe for my dog (non-toxic was a must!), what would actually thrive given my balcony's sun exposure, and which options would be low-maintenance when it comes to bugs. It honestly felt like a mini plant class, and I left feeling so much more confident about what I was buying. On top of that, I brought in my orchid that I genuinely thought was a goner. Darrel and the team took a look at it that same day and managed to revive it! I was shocked and so grateful. After years of buying plants from the big box stores, I'm never going back. Fertile Garden Center actually cares about helping you succeed with your plants, not just making a sale. Highly recommend, and I'll definitely be coming back. And the speak Spanish!!

Those of you who have read my reviews know that I am dedicated to shopping at local businesses and…read morenot the big box stores. So when I decided to venture out to get some supplies for our backyard garden, I went with a local business rather than going to a Lowes, Home Depot, etc. SUPER HAPPY I DID!!! Ferraro Garden spot is just a complete hidden gem in Northbrook!!! I couldn't have found a better place to shop for heirloom vegetables and herbs for my garden. In fact, I was here in late Spring this year and waited until now to write my review b/c I wanted to see how beautiful my ORGANIC veggies and herbs turned out. Well, thanks to Michelle and the staff at Ferraro Garden Spot (and Mother Nature for bringing us plenty of rain this summer), my garden was beautiful to look at AND absolutely delicious to pick and eat from!!!! I may have spent a tad bit more money,, but the knowledge and friendliness of the staff here was unparalleled to any other gardening center I have ever been to. Ferraro is dedicated to fresh, ORGANIC products. This was a HUGE factor for me b/c my wife is strictly using organics to make baby food for our little girl. We also do a lot of juicing in our home, and organics is highly recommended for juicing as well. The quality and selection at Ferraro for organics blew away the selection I saw at Lowes. I was able to get around the store quickly and easily, and again, the staff here was SUPER nice and helpful in not only helping me choose what to plant, but giving me tips and pointers for planting and maintaining my garden. This REALLY came in handy, because as a first time homeowner who came from a 1000 sq foot condo in Wrigleyville with no yard or area for plants, I would not have yielded the type of garden I did this year without the tips I received from the staff at Ferraro. Now come on folks, compare this experience to a Lowe's or Home Depot.....I always find myself lugging around a giant pallet cart with me and getting lost in aisles. You're lucky to get any assistance at all, and when you do, they seem either annoyed and are short with you or the level of expertise just doesn't seem all that high. Trust me, people!! Shop local and get to know the people in your community!!! Companies like Ferraro that have been a family business for years are the real experts b/c they have REAL passion for the business they created!!! I will be back every Spring to stock up for my garden!!!! They also have pumpkins and hay bundles for Halloween/Fall decor so I'm sure we will be making our way over there again soon!
