Really nice nursery. They have a wide selection inside and outside. It was a little difficult determining prices of plants outside but I was just browsing, not on a serious hunt. The plants inside were absolutely stunning. The prices are steep, but the plants are really healthy. They have a cute selection of carnivorous plants, and wide selection of sansevierias, succulents, cane begonias and cacti. They have rows and rows of planters. A lot do not have holes, but some do. read more

Helmi's garden crew (Mark) was terrific. They do way beyond what's expected taking care of all the little areas you hadn't thought about in your garden. Would use them again in a heart beat. I trust everyone that works at Helmi's and have been using them for years. read more

I sent an email requesting services with no response. Four weeks later I receive an email from one of their designers stating they were experiencing higher volumes of design and installation services. No problem. We confirmed by email a date and time for a designer to come to our home to discuss a plan that would work. The day of the meeting I planned my time off and 2:00 came and went with no response. I emailed the designer 45 minutes later asking if we were still on for our appointment. I received a reply email an hour later stating they weren't sure if they received a confirmation regarding the date and time. I confirmed my email was sent and Helmi's designer admitted they missed the emai. They offered to come over 2 hours later and we declined due to this was our second attempt to have landscaping done, the first took over a year and by that point we were done. read more

Great selection of plant varieties! It's a fun place to explore and the workers were kind.

Not sure what the business model is with this place. Buy multiple trees from them, wait two months, and they still don't deliver the trees. I've called multiple times to be told, "Oh, you'll get them in two weeks." Well...where are they? Did I dream about purchasing these trees? The receipt I currently possess says I didn't. They get two more weeks before I ask for my money back. No one likes buying invisible trees. read more

I live on the west coast and needed to send a plant to a residence in Columbia Missouri. I had no idea where to begin. When I searched the internet, Helmi's Gardens came up. I called the store and got a hold of a nice lady named Alex. She took the time to describe the different size plants which they had available and sent me a photo. Then she helped me pick out a pot to go with it. She sent me photos of a couple of options, and finally another photo of the final look. Then, I needed a card. Unfortunately the store does not carry cards. Alex agreed to write a quick note for me on paper and put it in an envelope. She went above and beyond to get this together for me and arranged for the delivery. The delivery was completed the following day and the plant looks beautiful! read more

I was visiting Columbia, and looking for something different than I would find in St. Louis. Oh my goodness! What a treasure and variety. It was August, and so surprised to see so much available. And the sweet young man working, don't recall his name, was chalked full of information and personality. I could have picked his brain for hours. Highly recommend! I will be back. read more

Always amazing! The plants from Helmi's are top quality and in great condition every time. The employees are knowledgeable and will answer your questions. Best of all, the selection is phenomenal. They have indoor/outdoor plants, plus a really cool selection of more exotic plants. They have all kinds of critters that live there (cats, ducks, birds etc.) so it's always a fun place to visit! I never leave empty handed. read more
