This is a great garden center with plenty of beautiful plant assortments and garden needs. Their items are clean and cared for. Love the plant options and accessories they carry, as I am a plant mom. The staff was very helpful and wrapped each of my plants with care. They also accepted my coupon with no hesitation. I visited the other Garden World location closer to my residense in Queens, and I prefer the Frankin Square location. More parking, less congested, spacious, nice selections, and their garden area is better maintained. read more

I love this place, especially at Christmas. The trees are decorated so beautiful and I love their selection of decorations. If you need a bow for the tree ask Theresa. She makes the most amazing bows, big and beautiful. Her wreaths and flower arrangements are beautiful as well. read more

Robin is the best! She helped me find everything I needed. The service was amazing and she got me in and out of there no problem . Would def visit again. Love the ambiance read more

Sorry to say it's never a pleasant experience to visit unfortunately. Staff often seem disinterested and cold to customers. On a recent visit the house plant selection was depleted and what was there was not in very good condition. So disappointing. read more

I was charged full price for a half full propane tank all though New York state law clearly says it's sold by the gallon. Then i was charged 29.99 for it. i had called the day before and none of this was stated. I called my attorney in Manhattan and he gave me the law and told me who to call. Christmas time and I paid twice what the law says they're allowed to charge me. I wouldn't buy anything here ever again because if they can't follow the state laws about propane, who and what else are they stealing from you? https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/AGM/192-E That is the laws on selling propane. Clearly it's to be sold per unit, not whatever they feel like. I also found a local tank exchange for 8 dollars cheaper!! read more

They had a beautiful setup for Santa inside with a beautiful gazebo. Best thing no line! No appointment and its free! Perfect took my 12 day old newborn here in hopes to avoid mall crowds and it was perfect! Santa thoroughly enjoyed her as well looking forward to coming back as well! read more

I walked into this store at 3 PM on Valentine's Day expecting to buy a simple bouquet of red roses, only to find out they were completely sold out. How does a store not prepare for the most obvious item of the day? Poor planning and disappointing for anyone who works during the day and can't shop earlier. Won't be coming back next year! read more

This place used to be my go to place. I've always taken advantage of the Goupons also, when available. In short, I've spent thousands of dollars here since I've lived here for the last 12 years, spring, all holidays and propane. However, now they won't let you use the Groupon if an item is on sale. What difference does it make if it's on sale or not? I've paid my money for the Groupon and they are getting the same money. They want you in the store for the Groupon but want to make it hard for you to use it since a lot of things are always on sale. I will never buy from this store again with their random policy. They are overpriced anyway compared to the other places in the area. Good riddance. In response to the comment about how costly Groupon is for the business to use, if it's so terrible, why do you have a permanent Groupon Ad the users can buy over and over again? Hogwash, I say. So the customers who are patronizing the business wind up paying the costs of your advertising by not allowing them to buy items on sale, the exact item they come for. I asked the cashier to charge me full price but that was also a no-no. I am stuck with a useless credit that I'll never use. If you want to be clear on the sale of the Groupon, why not say the Groupon can't be used on sale items. No, the Groupon says it can't be used with special offers. Sneaky wording and disingenuous. Sales aren't special offers. I've been shopping here way before Groupon became a thing but I'm permanently turned off and will skip the convenience of your location and shop and the big stores with discount pricing, no convenience fee added. And, at least with me, you'll lose even more money because I live in the yard. All year long. That's a fact. Enjoy my free money. read more

It seemed like tens of thousands of mother natures babies together with the more mature, spanning a half city block square. Ahh -- to be around so many of nature's gifts to us wether we take them home or not, all with the prettiest natural wrappers of every color conceivable. The innocence of nature's beauty is here and is well protected & defended with knowledge and care by the staff, so listen close. We bought boarders to make half and full circles with. Ingredients: split piece of precut wood, glue, 2 metal spikes. Total? $15.00 each. - ingenious. The first well studied batch of two I grabbed and placed in my table top sized cart looked like Nepta Cats Pajamas, but with a Dutch name and bring in the butterflies like cattle apparently -- Rembrandt something something, dang it. Self watering window box of Impatients - red, white, pink, violet - I love watering and I love the watering boxes. And I love watching & listening to the heavy fat rain we've been having, pound down the backyard tables now occupied by three rosemary, two thyme (German & English), chives, will basil both needing nourishment now green and funky deep purple. Two tall white tressles for the climbing beans, what a pain to get those loaded, bright red metal cone baskets to prop the heirlooms that I bought online. Made up for that little indiscretion with the eleven pepper plants if four varying varietals, Boom. read more

Trouble in Paradise: Help for a sick orchid Garden World in Franklin Square is where I turn when my houseplants need some TLC. Yesterday, I brought them an orchid our son had gotten as a wedding favor. It looked pretty bad and I feared that it might be time for last rites. I was ushered to Tess. As she examined the "patient," she explained what likely led to its poor health. She trimmed off dead parts and replaced the growing medium with fresh material. As she worked, she explained how to care for it, so the problem wouldn't reoccur. From our conversation, I learned that Garden World encourages employee development. Tess started as a cashier and subsequently expressed interest in and moved to plant care. She's adding to her experience by studying horticulture at a local university. So, whether you want to create a getaway space inside or outside your dwelling, visit the green space on Franklin Avenue and talk with their knowledgeable staff...so you can get back to the garden...

Happy to here this place was finally caught for selling bad plants. They are the worst. I bought $ 500 worth of plants and trees and 3/4 of them died within 2 months. Went back to speak with owner, he said I don't know how to properly care for the plants. I brought samples to a lab and they said all the plants and trees were infected with mold virus. That's what they sell, damaged old sick plants and trees, go to Hicks in Westbury much better read more

This is my first time visit this store and I am impressed! This place has everything (tools, equipment, gardening supplies, seeds, etc. basically anything you can name it) you need for the garden and plants. I know nothing about taking care of the lawn, but I am trying to renovate my lawn for the very first time as my lawn is filled with weeds now. I was wandering around the weed killers, soils, seeds sections and a gentleman named John came up to ask if I needed help. I explained to him my situation and asked him for advice. He explained the whole process of renovating/restoring the lawn to me and gave me a few suggestions in terms of what products I should try. He answered all my questions patiently and made sure I understand what I needed to do. He was also very honest about what products/tools I should get at this point. He wasn't really pushing me to buy any of the equipment and tools. The store itself is very spacious and each aisle had lots of space to keep social distancing. Definitely will come back when I am ready to move forward with my lawn renovation project. read more

See all

Great selection of indoor and outdoor plants, garden shrubs, trees & decor. Most supplies you need for your garden projects can be found here. Merchandise is good quality, holiday decor is abundant, and, most importantly, plant quality is high with a guarantee on the their outdoor items. Always a fun place to shop no matter the season! read more

Rudest people I've encountered in a long time. You kid at propane was dismissive and totally uninterested in helping.

I checked their website for hours of operation, and the website said they were open until 5:00 PM. When I arrived there at 4:30, everyone was leaving, they were locking up and I was told, oh, today we close at 4:30 because of Mother's Day. Which is fine, but CHANGE THE HOURS ON YOUR WEBSITE! Shopping for some flowers was going to be MY Mother's Day treat, and now it didn't happen. read more

Large selection of plants. Also have pond plants, snails,tadpoles and fish. Huge assortment of fertilizers and other garden products.

I have been back and forth in the store at least 4 times in the last month and is always welcomed by Matt. He has excellent customer service and if he doesn't know the answer, he will ask a co worker. read more

For many years I did propane filings here and logically didn't know how much Propane gas was filled " as they call it Fill A. FULL TANK".. and literally each time charged $25 an average.., which I learned is a Rip-Off!!! Never again will stop at this place unless you want to .. !!! Go to U-HAUL Literally pay ONLY for the amount of Propane Gas Filled in your tank @ $4.29/ Gal.( Normally Cost $15/3.2 Gal.

i have been shopping at garden world since 1975. i have always been happy with the selection of plants, fertilizers,tools and very satisfied with all the advice and services. i think the folks there do a great job. thank you, i hope you never change. read more

There are two Garden World locations and I've always had good experiences at the Francis Lewis Blvd location. So, yesterday I had expected to have a similar experience at the Franklin Avenue location. Well, I had the completely opposite experience. I purchased a Groupon but once I arrived I found out it can only be used with non sale items, and of course everything I wanted was on sale, no biggie I'll just use it later. I make my selection and go to the counter to find out that the prices and discount which were posted above the plants weren't the prices. When I questioned the cashier about their signage and showed her both the price and discount was on the same pole she became annoyed stating "the price is a sale and you can't get two discounts". I asked for a manager because the signage should be changed, well the vitriol and dismissive tone that the manager displayed is unacceptable. They have a beautiful selection, very healthy looking plants, but their staffs customer service is horrible and I won't be back. read more

Love this spot! Super cute and well stocked. Staff is super helpful and friendly. It's great to have an amazing gardening store right in the neighborhood read more

I want to give a shout out of thanks to Seth Fiddle and Garden World in Franklin Square. I had posted a bad review based on a very bad experience at the Queens location. Seth not only reached out to me but continued to stay in touch and resolve the customer service issue I experienced. He took interest and acted quickly and with generosity and authenticity. I went back to Garden World, at the Franklin Square store and was so genuinely happy. The staff was great and the plants were gorgeous and healthy. Seth, thank you to you and your team. I took great pleasure in planting and adding to my garden. Regards, Toby read more

Garden World is my go to place! Whenever I come by, the staff does everything they can to ensure all my needs are met. The guys that work outside are very helpful and the cashiers are friendly. Also the bloomers rewards card is awesome because the points never expire so they're good for every season! The service doesn't get better than this read more

I just came by to refill two of my propane tanks only to be greeted by the laziest rudest person I've met in a long time

I went there today and I was on line and I thought there was only one cashier by the window and once I was leaving I saw another cashier just sitting down on her phone. I understand it's busy this time of year but I thought it was unprofessional. read more

I never had a problem there. Although the prices are rather high on some of their items, they are reasonable on others. The staff has always been pleasant and helpful. I wish they had more varieties of vegetable seeds, but they do have a good selection of young plants, as long as you get there right after they take a delivery. If you need something and they don't have it, they can get it for you. Of course, I never made any purchases of propane from them, because I always have plenty of gas. read more

Helpful & caring professionals. Very courteous, knowledgeable staff who listened to my concerns & helped make my backyard garden a more beautiful place. They really care about their customers & it shows. read more

The reviewers are correct that the employees at Garden World have zippo personality and border on rude but these are the cashiers and not the guys who help out with the plants, Christmas trees, etc. Those guys are always helpful & personable. I've started to go the new Marketplace nursery on Nassau Blvd. They are much smaller but have a great quality selection and everyone is consistently courteous, polite and appreciative of the business. read more

When I was a child, growing up in New York, my parents would only work with Keil Brothers for all their landscape needs. Naturally, when planning for father's day and thinking of how I can bring joy to my father I thought of contacting Garden World & Keil Brothers. They are still as amazing; I just spoke with Gianni and he is making sure that my father gets the father's day gift that I was hoping to get him delivered to his home. Gianni took the time to find out what I was looking for - something that would attract butterflies so my father can enjoy gardening and my parents can enjoy butterflies . . . Gianni recommended a butterfly bush!! He got my contact information, looked into it, and called me back . . . he was so caring and helpful and I clearly could not do it without him as I live out of state. Thank you Gianni!! I loved being able to get the best customer service with a personal touch!! read more

Came here a few years to get rose bushes for the house...the staff was very polite...

i visited here three times total in last five years even I live very close to this gardening store. It is because everytime I come, I have bad experience. Like today, the cashier was rude she threw change on the cashier desk instead of handing me back. It was beyond shocking. Even though I kind of expected bad customer service might be happening today, today's experience made me think I will NEVER come back this place ever again. read more

When it comes to flowers this place is great. However, this place advertises that they have gas tanks, but it is by far by the biggest rip off. I spent $60 to buy 2 new empty tanks and an extra $20 to fill it. Thats right $80 for two tanks. read more

I went here to fill up my propane tank, it was $26 not so bad but other places are $23. they than proceeded to tell me my tank was out dated & it would cost me an additional $40. I got a refund on my propane purchase & drove 5 min to Home Depot. they took my tank for an exchange & gave me a full brand new tank for $21. thats right $21 for a full new tank read more

I was surprised to see the uncomplimentary reviews posted above, as I am a frequent shopper at Garden World, and have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful. The kids at the cashier might not be gardening experts, but the staff in the greenhouse have plenty of good advice about what plants would work in different conditions, and how to care for them after getting them home. It doesn't have the vast variety of Hicks, but it certainly has plenty of good, healthy, modestly priced choices for the typical Long Island garden. read more

I love Garden world and their staff. They take as much time as necessary to help you. You never feel that you are inconveniencing them in any way. You get prompt, courteous service, always a smile and if need they'll help you get it into your car. Refuse to shop anywhere else. read more

I love this place! So nice to have a quality plant and flower store with so much variety so close to home. I HATE going to the big box stores. Everything at garden world is always so clean and nicely organized. You cannot beat the quality of these plants. Well worth the few extra dollars. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

I have good memories of Garden World from long ago. My Father use to drive us from Cambria Heights to Garden World in Franklin Square when I was about 7 years old back in the 1960's and he use to buy everything from vegetable plants, plant food, bamboo to support the tomato plants, shrubs, sod, etc. I especially remember Garden World because every Christmas my Father would drive us there to purchase our Scotch Pine Christmas Tree and rope and pine scented incense every single Christmas.My Dad would put the rope around the picture window and front door on the outside of the house and then put large Christmas lights on them. Garden World is pretty well stocked, and it's like being in a home-like environment in that I remember the employees being very accommodating and friendly to both my Father and I . My family still lives in Cambria Heights, but my Dad died, so we rarely get a chance to go out to Franklin Square anymore since my Mom purchased an artificial tree from QVC, and that's the way it's been since. I visited Garden World some time last year, and it appeared the same, - - -it was like visiting an old friend. read more
