The plants had expired & we gambled and attempted to return them 10 days past the warranty. The young lady took the plants back and assisted us and advised us in terms of our options moving forward. I additionally contacted the owner Jo in reference to some landscaping work and he advised me that he is booked until next month. By booked he meant unavailable to give an estimate until next month. If there is a knock against Heaven's Garden their plants will be a little smaller than you'd fine in a "Non" Organic Nursery. Last year when they were less busy, Jo walked us around and gave us useful tips on how to plant our brush. The young lady this time explained that even when you do everything right factors like wind, soil acidity, mulching, and fertilizer deficiency can play a part in failure.

Running short on time, it was suggested I try Heavens Garden, as it was much closer to home. I called, and was given directions and told the lady what I needed, i.e. compost, gloves, and most importantly on this trip, Peonies!! I told her i would be right down. When I arrived I was met at my truck by this very friendly woman, who said, "you must be the Peonie lady!" lol! As she was walking me to the "Peonies" I was looking around..very well kept grounds, and all areas of interest were clearly marked with signs telling you what type of plants could be found there. They even had areas marked, "Sun Loving", "Shade Loving" ect.. I was particularly impressed with the ornamental trees...all trees, and plants were extremely healthy and robust. I was told they grow all their wares on the farm just next door, and that it was a family operation. I was really happy with the knowledge, and the attention to customer satisfaction given to me. Loved my experience, and hope everyone gives this hidden gem a try! Kudos to Heaven's Garden!

Four stars for now. We will now see how well the shrubs thrive that we bought here…read more Definitely the premier nursery in Northern Virginia, even if it is a long hike for us to get up here. Merrifield Garden Center has a plush abundance of indoor and outdoor plants. We came here looking for evergreen flowering shrubs to replace the gradually and painfully dying shrubs in the beds in front of our house. We looked around their inventory to get an idea of what Merrifield had available. When we were satisfied we were ready to ask questions, a gal nearby appeared and asked if we had any questions. We did, and she answered thoroughly. She also recommended what potting soil to use. There's also a little open air stand out in the shrub section with somebody there available to provide assistance. We settled on several Caventine Andromedas and one Camellia Londontowne Blush. Keeping my fingers crossed that these babies do well in our not the best in the world clay soil. By the way, we also checked out Lowe's and Home Depot to see if they had anything comparable, and they did not.

Back in 2018, shortly after I moved to the U.S., my husband and I selected three healthy, pink crape myrtle trees at this garden. I personally took photos of each tree and paid a deposit to reserve them.However, when we returned at the agreed pickup time, all three trees had been replaced. Two of them appeared undernourished and in poor condition, and the third one was tall and thin -- completely different from the compact variety I had originally selected. None of them matched what I had chosen and paid for. When I presented the photos I had taken as proof, the owner was dismissive and admitted that he did not know how to say what had happened. Despite this, he still refused to refund my deposit. As someone who had just arrived in the U.S. at the time, this experience was extremely upsetting. It felt misleading and dishonest.I would strongly recommend others take photos and confirm exactly what they are purchasing if they decide to shop here.

Many unique treasures to discover in the greenhouse, outer statuary, and inside the novelty store. Major standouts are the Corinthian chimes which are enormous and sound just like church bells. The proprietor reminded me a lot of my late/great father and it was comforting to hear him talk about plants and windchimes (two of my Dad's favorite things in life). My husband and I were looking for a few potted plants today and are thrilled with our finds. My kitchen window sill, living groom piano corner, and little outdoor flower bed all got an upgrade today. (See pics of what we brought home; repotting is happening later). We were amazed at how reasonably priced everything was and feel we got a fantastic deal at $33 for a hefty (unique) potted plant, some cute annuals and a couple pretty little succulents. I highly recommend Sunnyside nursery, and I personally look forward to getting back there when the need arises.

Today I went over and bought bales of pine straw to place in the beds all around my house. I was…read morefortunate to find them in the Stafford area because I thought I would have to drive down to Midlothian, Virginia to buy the pine straw. The big box stores locally did not carry it. Meadow farms did not carry it as well. Pine strawreally dresses up your beds much better and I believe it keeps the weeds down better than pine bark mulch. Bobby was extremely helpful and I was impressed with the quality of the pine straw. The price was a whole lot cheaper that I had already priced out elsewhere . I had asked about Japanese beetle infestation, and how to prevent it. Bobby took my phone number down and later Jim called me.I could not believe how knowledgeable he was about the Beatles as well as roses. This is definitely now going to be my go to nursery! 5 STARS!

So, let me tell you about Merrifield Garden centers. I have been to many many landscape and garden…read morecenters over the years. I know quite a few that have been put out of business because of the chain home improvement stores. When you go to Merrifield, you will be bathed in the amazing living variety that can be brought to your home, for indoors and outdoors. The selection is beyond anything I've ever seen, and the staff clearly loves the business. You can browse hundreds of plant and flower options indoors And they also have an amazing selection of patio adornments. The best was my experience today. I needed a garden hose adapter. Sounds simple enough, but this is so uncommon that all of the local chains didn't have anything, and one young man in an orange apron Ron suggested I just get it on Amazon. I stopped here at Merrifield, and they also did not have it in stock. But the gentleman at the counter Suggested that he'd be happy to make one for me if I wouldn't mind waiting for a few minutes. And he jumped into action, grabbing the hose and fittings that he needed and manufactured what I needed for me on the spot. That his old-fashioned service deserves a lot more than just five stars. Please bring them your business!

I've heard great things about Merrifield and though I've visited before, I hadn't bought anything. I took some pics of my lawn, some of the current grass/weeds/plants growing and went to their help desk. It was mid-week, so not too busy. Craig was working the desk and so I don't bury the lead... he was AMAZING. I explained what I was trying to do, that I really knew nothing, and though I had done a little research, I didn't want to trust everything I had read/watched. He walked me through my options. I don't care much about what is growing, just that we have good coverage. Clover was something I was interested in. He explained the clover options as well as some low-maintenance grass options. He even spent a lot of time helping me understand about aerating since it was something I wanted to know more about. I decided to go with grass and clover, hoping a mix might balance between lawn and something for the pollinators. As the spots were relatively small, he said I could just hand spread, especially with the clover seeds being so tiny. While prices are a little higher than the big box stores, looking into this, the products seem to be of a higher quality. Luckily my issue was sort of small to start with so I felt it was a good investment.

Tasted just like Apple Pie. Looking forward to our next adventure here already.

The woman who checked us out was an absolute delight, warm, funny, and exactly what you hope for at a local farm stand. Unfortunately my experience in the herb section was the opposite. When I asked about strawberry plants and was told they didn't have any, I mentioned I was a first time gardener and asked if she could recommend something beginner friendly. Her response was essentially "just pick something, all you have to do is water them." When I explained again that I was new and looking for guidance, she told me she couldn't help me. As a first time gardener trying to learn, that kind of dismissiveness was discouraging. If it weren't for the lovely woman at checkout, I likely wouldn't return. I ended up going to Ed's Plant World in Brandywine where the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful to a beginner. The difference was night and day. That said, I'm giving 4 stars because the place is really awesome in terms of selection and variety. The woman in the herb section may have just been having a bad day. It's absolutely worth checking out.

Once again - what's not to love about this little place! We consistently visit every year during…read morethe Culpeper Harvest Days Farm tour, & this year was no exception. Beautiful gardens, the two same friendly dogs still in residence, lots of herbs & native plants for sale, & informed owners more than willing to share their knowledge. Came away with a lovely native aster & a culinary sage this time. Last year's purchased native aster morphed from a one-footer when planted last fall into a 3-foot tall x 4-foot spread gorgeous cloud of tiny lavender blossoms a couple of weeks ago (& still going strong!), so am looking forward to planting another slightly different variety next to it for an additional show next fall. And the six different columbines I purchased last year also put on a glorious show this past spring, & their reseeded seedlings are popping up everywhere, which I love to see. All in all, a lovely little spot to pick up nice native or culturally-positive-to-the-area plants, as well as enthusiasm from the owners.
