Watson's has just opened up, and still has a little construction going on, they are woking hard…read more The people working there are really nice and offer good educational tips. I'm told that they will be having a Grand opening soon and will offer workshops and classes. They have a good selection, especially of "bare root" trees ( which they potted in big peat pots that can go right on the ground). When I looked at the fruit trees and figured the cost of pots, trees, and soil, it's a really good buy.

This is a tough one to review. The Puyallup location is the flagship and the focus of the…read moremanagement's attention - it is beautiful. Overall, the prices are very high, with large markups. But if you can hit their sales, then you get a semi-fair price. The thing that gets me is how they treat their employees and the community around them. Watsons does NOT support the Olympia community. Sure, they want your money and the sales (who wouldn't?). However, they not only churn through staff like a barbaric meat-grinder (they are horrible to work for!), but they do NOT support LGBTQ+ whatsoever - which is something Olympia cannot back. For those reasons, I can never support Watson's (especially the current CEO, Maidee, and her curated inner circle) or ever encourage anyone to purchase from them. After all, they purchase from the same growers that the other nurseries purchase from (and just mark up the prices higher!). The exception is the houseplants they truck in by the truckloads from FL a few times a year. The big box stores get better deals from better growers in a lot of things as well -- because they have buying power. But all the competition in the area purchases from the very same growers and sales reps. Watch out for bugs on the plants - especially houseplants. They do not do a great job checking for infestations when bringing plants in from FL(it's doubtful they even check at all...). All in all, because of the lack of integrity and values from the leads/owners, I cannot support this company. I had hoped they would be a brilliant addition to Oly -- sadly, I do not believe they are. Too bad - Oly would have flocked to a place that was safe for ALL Olympia to gather, celebrate and spend money.

You can find almost anything you need to raise a healthy garden…read more Most of the staff are quite knowledgeable and if they don't know something they seem to know who to point you to so you can find out. Lots of options in terms of organic soil amendments and natural ways to control pests and weeds. The Garden Center is one of the first places to have onion starts available in the spring and their prices are competitive around town. They have seed racks on the walls of the small outbuilding that have so many different varieties. Definitely worth checking them out. During the spring they are constantly getting new things in all the time, so stop by to see what's new. Its not a big space but it is a wonderful space. Get in to the Westside. Grab a kombucha inside the store and come out to the Garden Center.

The woman on the phone reviewed what I wanted to say to my daughter; "Happy Birthday, Sam. Love Mom and Dad.". Instead the card read "Between 3-6" with the restaurant address added. The bouquet looked NOTHING like what I ordered and had half the flowers it should have. I got ripped off, basically. My daughter said the flowers smelled amazing. I showed her what I picked out vs what she received. Disappointed to say the least. I will say, the woman who answered was wonderful to speak with. They just don't deliver what you actually ordered.

The pumpkin walk led us along a small path through a wooded area just behind the parking lot, where over 250 pumpkins were painted/decorated in a variety of themes and displayed for us to enjoy on our meandering walk. We were allowed to take photos and others coming through patiently gave us the space to do so. The staff we briefly interacted with were friendly and so excited to see us all decked out in costumes for this Halloween-inspired walk. They decorated the plants, trees and gourds around the nursery, making for a fun experience all around.
