A suitable option for your gardening needs. A smaller store is nestled in the Devine Street business district on Woodrow Street in a quaint building that serves a dual function as a post office for people with mail slots who have their mail delivered there. The store offers a plethora of organic plants and gardening tools and resources. The work of local artisans is among the featured products sold in the store. A second primary location on Franklin Street in the Cottontown community provides a more substantial inventory and hosts community gardening workshops and events. Open seven days a week, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., these stores also offer an array of premier, robust live Christmas trees during the bustling holiday season. If you haven't been to these stores, they are worth a visit in support of the numerous, diverse local businesses in the vibrant gardening community in the Midlands and surrounding areas. read more

I found the " Manager" of this business rather unreasonably aggressive and obtrusive to my otherwise innocent browsing of this lack luster, unsubstantial lack of inventory excuse of a business. I will not be returning to this pathetic building! read more

Gardener's Outpost was such a cool shop! I stopped by to grab a gift card for a family member, but I still had so much fun walking around the store and looking at all of the beautiful plants and supplies. I also thought it was so cool that they had mailboxes for rent! The staff member that I interacted with was extremely kind and helpful as well. Would highly recommend! read more

Beautiful store, not so beautiful experience. I was visiting a friend who lives in this area and stumbled upon this on my walk. I was drawn to the Christmas trees but I love plants in general so I came in here to see if I could go back with a small gift. I got dirty looks from 2 customers, but other than that, no one interacted with me. I walked around, wanted to ask about a hoya plant but I the vibes were very unwelcoming so I left. There were some workers in the back but they said nothing and offered no help. read more

Gardner's Outpost is the best! I originally wandered into their beautiful space on Franklin St not looking for anything in particular, but WOW! I was blown away by all of their beautiful plants. The staff are always happy to let me wander and look and glad to answer any questions I have. They are the reason I have beautiful plants in my home and have actually been able to keep them alive. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

A great plant store, with interesting and unique selections for both interior and exteriors!

Absolutely love the layout of both stores! Both of their locations are near coffee shops so my friends and I like to cruise through after meeting at indah, curiosity, or Azalea. Lots of unique plants that are really fun to check out read more

sweetest, most knowledgeable staff at both locations. Healthiest plants. genuine, plant-loving people work here and it's not a giant warehouse of random stuff. love gardeners outpost! read more

This is my go-to nursery for spring! The multitude of indoor/outdoor plants is amazing. I am a loyal member, and would certainly recommend to beginners due to the knowledge the staff has on each plant. read more

This is such an amazing shop! Sam and Bunti the cat were such a delight--so helpful and kind! Sam was able to give us advice on soil, indoor and outdoor plants, and helped point us in the right direction when we were unsure of which plants to get for different areas of our home. We'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

It was an absolute joy to visit this garden shop recently. To start things off, there is a beautiful outdoor area with plenty of plants. The area is full of up-cycled decorations which is evident of an environmentally friendly business. Inside the building, there are plenty of smaller plants like succulents. They also had lots of miscellaneous items like fertilizers and soil. There were also a couple ladies running the shop who were very helpful and more than happy to lead us in the right direction. All in all, this is a gorgeous plant shop that will definitely help you with some gardening needs. read more

Great little nursery with interesting selection of plants and flowers plus the stuff you need for planting them. Has a nice flower child vibe to it as well. read more

Lovely selection with helpful signs for outdoor plants: sun loving vs. shade loving. The inside of the store has a nice layout thats not too cluttered and the plants are displayed nicely with the names and prices clearly marked. I just happen to not realize that a string of turtles was $40 until after I brought it home, but Squirtle is staying! Don't expect to bargain shop like Lowe's clearance, but expect friendly, helpful service with a wide selection of beautifully maintained plants, and pretty ceramics from local artists. Oh, and the sign outside saying that ppl who park where they shouldn't be getting composted--hilarious. read more

Great place to get plants and herbs. Wife was very happy to find the herbs she was wanting and a beautiful hanging strawberry plant. That was on a Friday. Went back today (Saturday) and bought another beautiful hanging strawberry plant for Mother's day tomorrow (her mom turns 97 in June praise God). Service was helpful and very knowledgeable. Even granted a small discount on two of the herb plants that were on the dry side! That was a big thumbs up to me. Will probably be back! read more

Gardener's Outpost - The plant I came home with. - Gardeners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Came here with my roommate a couple weeks ago. We got some beautiful new plants! Their selection is amazing and the staff was very friendly/helpful. The inside was easy to navigate and the outside also had a good variety. We will definitely be back! read more

I was really excited to come here but was a little let down. The parking was not great, the plants were a little expensive and not very many had price labels or names on them. Also the employee working hardly talked to me and didn't seem very approachable. The store display is pretty though! read more

I bought a cactus. When I got home to repot it I noticed it was infested with red ants and some type of insect. I washed off and did my best to kill them all. I went a second time to the store and I asked for the price of a pothos. When I was looking at it I noticed it was clearly infested of mealybugs. Other indoor plants were full of super webs and not well taken care off. Shame because this is one of the few nurseries in the area. BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY A PLANT. Check for insects. read more

Gardeners Outpost isn't just a place to buy what you need for your garden. Randall is a part of the community that welcomes every customer and shows them not just what to make their home look the best, but also gives advice and expertise for all questions ranging from simple projects to more complicated tasks. It's also nice knowing that the stores mission is to stay as local as possible, which is no less expected of this small business. A great place to visit, even if just to hang out in the beautiful store! Highly recommend!! (They also do many seasonal deals, so definitely worth checking out in Christmas for trees and wreaths) read more

Amazing selection for a small local owned shop. Cozy atmosphere and The owner is very friendly and helpful! Low key vibe with beautiful plants selected to thrive in our climate. I'll be back for sure! You can't get this selection or service at a big box gardening store. Beautiful trees for sale there as well. read more

Gardener's Outpost - Lovely full sun perennials that spread as cover!!! - Gardeners Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I was fortunate enough to find both Monstera Deliciosa and Monstera Adansonii in Gardener's Outpost and I had no choice but to bring them both home. When I saw the plants in the store I could see that they were being so well taken care of from the ample grow lights, to the established root systems, and best of all I could tell that they were watering their plants based on need and not drowning them all like some big box stores tend to do. When I was checking out the selection of both Monsteras I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted for my home because so many of the plants were bursting with new growth and they were all very big and healthy in appearance. Both plants have made a seamless transition into my home and seem to be loving their new placements. There's been no yellowing of the leaves nor any leaf drop. It has taken the M. Deliciosa a few days to climatize to the moderate humidity levels in my house but from what I can see both plants are happy and healthy. read more

What a treasure! I was so happy to find this little place of joy. Beautiful selection, flowers well maintained, good selection of gardening supplies, helpful staff, read more

The place is super cute and has a good selection of plants BUT as soon as I brought my plant home I notice mealy bugs and I call them and ask about it after reading reviews that people have had the same problem and they told ME to go back and buy their bug repellent???! Really upset because I'm sure they know they have this infestation and thankfully I hadn't put the one plant I bought next to my others but I definitely did not expect that response. read more
