we purchased a maple tree from Garden Adventures Nursery about 2 or 3 yrs ago, brought it home, my husband planted it in our back yard, been growing beautifully. However, we have added a larger deck and swimming pool, therefore my husband had to transplant it this past late fall to the front yard. Being careful, and researching the best way to dig up and transplant a tree, it has been a successful turnout, the tree is growing just as beautiful as ever. One word of advise to some new home owners that maybe adding some curb appeal to their yards, please remember to water your newly planted tree or shrub at least 2 or three times a week, we usually do 3 times, or even 4 during the very hot and dry months. Once the roots are established after the first season, you can cut back on the watering, but still in the hot dry months water it one or two times a week. And if recommended use the proper tree food/fertilizer, this will help your tree or shrub thrive and make your yard and home have that special curb appeal, that when your neighbors drive by your home, you'll probably notice them take a second look at your yard. read more

Nice nursery but owners are inconsistent with customer service. Gone here for years. Spent several thousand dollars in trees, shrubs and gift certificates. Owners were sometimes friendly but sometimes odd. Had planter plant my last tree because I wanted warranty. They need to tell you that warranty on tree is one year of purchase , not when they planted the tree. I could live with that. It was the way The owner said he had no record of me or any of my purchases. I mentioned it could be under different account. I also have bought there for my business. Basically I was told that I had have no purchases of any kind. Went home and found original receipt. It had been over the year from purchase but not from when tree was planted. My name was spelled wrong. I asked him to look up with incorrect spelling. Dow lied and said He already did. At that point I was done. I always thought I was treated odd there. I always try and be friendly to everyone. I think they just didn't like me. Wonder why? I've got a pretty good idea. Shame. Won't go back. Don't buy warranty. Go to Nixa hardware. Helped me carry to my car and loaded everything in truck. Life is short to go places where they don't treat everyone the same. Bad business. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Might have some nice trees but would be better if owners were nice to ALL CUSTOMERS. What comes around goes around. read more

By far the best nursery in Nixa, Missouri! If you have need for a full-service arborist or just a unique gift for the hostess, check out this wonderfully fanciful botanical Mecca. Always in a jolly mood, the owners are willing to hand you a cup of fresh brewed coffee. I have purchased several full-sized trees and shrubs here and most are doing abundantly well. For those rare occasions when a bush doesn't take (and as we all know, some bushes are unruly), they have always refunded my money or given me another choice. Happy to come out to your house and do an evaluation as well as springtime and fall maintenance and fertilization. I'm very happy with this family-run nursery who gives back to our community, supports regional artists and hosts several seasonal festivals! The Azalea Fest in May is a must. read more

I went there to buy hundreds of dollars worth of trees and was literally yelled at by a lady named LINDA because I didn't go to the right tree section for help. She huffed and puffed and crossed her arms as she continued to reprimand me for not knowing she was waiting to help me and that I didn't follow instructions as to where to go.... UN-FREAKING BELIEVABLE. I work in customer service and would never dream of treating someone the way Linda treated me today. I hope it was worth all the bad reviews Linda read more

While it seems they are being helpful first, it goes downhill from there. After spending over two thousand dollars on landscaping we have two dead trees and one that is probably not going to make it. Two dead plants and one random plant. There were supposed to be three matching plants in the front bed and once they grew in, one is completely different. Their recommended installers tore up our sprinkler system in two different places and killed an existing plant. And, to top it all off they do not stand by their warranties. Since they did not plant anything, they will not replace anything. They gave me the cards of the people to call to plant things, I had no idea they were not part of their business or that by using them it would cancel any warranty. Live and learn, maybe this is how all nurseries are. I will not do things this way again. Especially since it's been almost a year and I still have dead trees because the person that planted the trees won't come back. All this after calling and calling then going back to the business again, then being told the owner didn't get the message. The whole process was poor business. read more

I love shopping at Garden Adventures! They have such an amazing assortment of trees shrubs bushes perennials annuals and vegetables. The staff is always helpful I love the guy who help me carry stuff today he said he used to build a carry four of the flats when he was younger. I'm not sure how anybody would fit two on each arm but I don't doubt he could do it I have a lot of very healthy looking plants that with the planting fairies would come and put them in the ground for me I would be extra happy. My favorite thing in my yard is a pair of Mexican blue pots I have on my porch they came from guarded ventures probably four years ago and every year when I plant them I think these are the most beautiful thing I have because it lends color to my front porch year round. I bought a couple of small bushes some perennials a few annuals some vegetables some herbs and some succulents I'm set for a busy day of planting! Their selection of gift items in the shop make me know I could seriously blow a budget read more

So,.. we were treated very poorly by the staff as soon as we walked into garden adventures nursery. It was bad enough that when we left, I made a point of avoiding any further interaction with the staff. The staff member we interacted with the most, who appeared to be the owner, was condescending, negatively opinionated, and sadly misinformed. The information presented to us about the plants at the nursery, how they would do locally and which species were native and non native, was surface level at best and mostly incorrect. The nursery is organized poorly, and very few plants are labeled with a name or price. Plants that are priced are twice as expensive as the same ones at other nurseries. We had much better luck at Carsons Nursery just north of Nixa and will continue our business with them from here on out. read more
