Good selection of many shrubs and plants. Plenty of trees. Reasonable prices. Easy check out process.

Lots of pepper and tomato plants for $2. Lots of citrus and fruit. People complain about the staff because they don't know anything or don't speak English but I knew what I wanted and didn't have any questions. Got hard to find hot peppers such as Trinidad scorpion and Carolina reaper. read more

No one answers the phone. I got so sick and tired. I wanted to go up there and see why no one answers the phone. I had to go drive up there to find out why no one's answering the phone. I called and I could hear the phone ringing, and everybody was chilling on their cell phone. Why are y'all even open? read more

Terrible customer service! Most workers have no idea where anything is or if it's in stock. And don't even try to call! No one answers the phone and the mailbox is full which means they don't care enough about their customers to check. Spend a little more and go to a family-owned nursery. C'mon Kim, do better!! read more

Horrible customer service, we asked where the grass was located. She looked at us weird and said "No grass" and went back to her phone. This location has some beautiful plants but you will not be selling much. Your employees need training. read more

Poor selection but what they did carry there were several varieties of it. Poor CS, especially cashing out. Cut throat customers pushy ar check.out too. Don't waste your time here unless you're looking only for bushes. read more

Employees are too busy on their phones and when you ask where something is or you need help, they just point. Poor customer service.

Bad plants, even worse staff/service. When asking for a recommendation on a product they carried, I was advised by both cashier staff AND management that they don't get paid to have knowledge of the products they carry. Ummmm.... come again? I clarified my question again, only to be met with serious attitude. If it weren't for PFAS being closed for the day already, I'd have NEVER patronized here to begin with! Obviously it won't happen again either - lesson learned - I'll wait... I'd highly recommend going elsewhere and/or exercising EXTREME caution when visiting this establishment. Beware of the ignorant staff and don't ask a single question. read more

Warning scam place. It's say $19.99 for barbados cherry . And the want charge me for $29.99. This's not the first time happen to me and my friends. Never go back to this place. Not recommended this place. read more

Houston Garden Centers - It's say $19.99 why they charge me $29.99 SMH‍ - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Tomball, Texas

Absolutely terrible service will not be returning. Multiple employees that I asked for help did not speak any English. There was one guy that was able to help me reluctantly all the people at the register were staring at their phones. read more

The service is horrible!!! they don't have any English speaking people, the workers ignore you, and it's hard to find what you are looking for. read more

This is the most poorly managed garden store I've ever been to. Clothing, backpacks, lunch containers and debris intermingled among the pots on the shelves and strewn along the floor. Two attendants standing there by the register saw me struggling with the large bags of potting soil and wouldn't lift a finger to help me nor help with getting the bags into my vehicle. Terrible customer service. I will not be back to this location, not their other locations to avoid the potentially same lack of service. Where's a manager when you need one? read more

Customer service is poor all they do is point and not knowledgeable about their products. I was asking a question the lady stood there popping Sun flower seeds and wouldn't move very lazy and tacky. I will not go back also all sales are final. That was my first and last time it was a waste of time. read more

1. Service - I've read other reviews about this place, and they say that you have to do your own research to know more about the plants. I didn't ask any questions, as I did my own research, but people don't come to you. It's pretty much self serve. Grab a cart, pick up your plant, bring to the register, pay and go. But I must add though, if something is too heavy, someone will help you if you ask. They have never turned me away on that. 2. Price - can be pricey, you have to wait for the sale to go. I've seen it go to 50% and sometimes 70%! 3. Ambiance - 25% indoor, 75% outdoor. It's nice. 4. Plants - good quality plants. 5. Cleanliness - everything is organized and well kept. read more

Went in. Not greeted although there were at least 10 staff members there. Paid too much for cedar mulch. Walked past same 10 staff members who then sat watching me loading the mulch into my own car. read more

I've been to 2 of these Houston Garden Center stores and I've come to the conclusion that it's the nursery equivalent of a Walmart. I'm not an experienced gardener so I need more advice and walked around the store for close to 30 min. No one said hi, asked if I needed help. This place is huge! I was trying to figure the needs between, hydrangeas, roses and hibiscus and couldn't find anyone! I don't have all day! Not only no one to help but no map or signs to point me in the right direction. Siri, which way to knock out roses? Useless. For such a large nursery with few workers, signage would have been a tremendous help or even care instructions on the plant would have been nice. Like this plant needs, full sun, a gardener who'll sing to it and occasional beer fertilizer. Nope. I had to look it up on the phone each time. More time wasted. Another negative is their return policy. No returns. I asked for acidic fertilizer for my blueberries and was given the opposite!! So annoyed. Do your plant and landscaping research on your own before you get here or use your handy dandy phone to look up info but wow. It could be so much better with little effort. read more

Houston Garden Centers - BYOT. Bring your own tarp - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Tomball, Texas

WARNING....DO NOT USE THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS. If I would have taken the time to read the reviews about them I would have stopped using them long ago. They do not give one hoot about their customers. Worst management and customer serviceI have ever experienced. Their plants and shrubs are full of disease. They will not stand behind any of their sales. When I raised concerns about some shrubs I purchased having died the managers response was let me quote"To bad so sad". My wife and I were floored. I then called their corporate office only to receive the same treatment. The owner is no where to be found. There are a lot of other places in Houston that will honor their products. Use them. I am going to make this my quest to get the word out about these people and their products and services through the Neighborhood app, Facebook etc and plan on using my own money to run adds warning fellow Houstonians of this JOKE OF A NURSERY!!!!! read more

I definitely don't recommend this place. None of employees are wearing masks nor did they observe the 6' distance rule. Employee told us they were waiting for company to buy them masks. Employee told me he had been working without a mask and was just fine. read more

what a HORRIBLE experience at Houston Garden Center today. I stopped in to purchase a few larger plants, selecting three shrubs priced $49.99 and was refused the PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED discount! After being refused by the manager, I called corporate and the woman, Jennifer, was EXTREMELY rude!!! At first she refused to give me her name and then she refused to answer my simple question if the plants selected were shrubs. She merely kept repeating "They're not included in the discount", like a broken record. I told her I didn't appreciate her rude behavior and she told me she didn't like mine either!!! Unbelievable!!! She asked me who I thought I was speaking to her like that. I said like what? I told her that I am the customer, that's who I am. Again, unbelievable!!! I asked to speak to someone above her to which she replied that there was nobody above her. I asked her title and asked if she was the CEO to which she replied that the owner is out until Monday. I requested that she take my number and have him contact me at that time and she refused, stating that if I wanted to speak with him I could call him back!!! As a result, I decided to check their BBB RATING! It's TERRIBLE! I've attached pictures of their advertising, the shrubs I intended to purchase, as well as the BBB comments. NEVER SHOP AT HOUSTON GARDEN CENTER! #dishonest #rude #falseadvertising read more

See all

The employees are very friendly and I love it. today we got some plants and flowers for our garden since our plants died due to the snowstorm. They Have different kinds of flowers and we got a sale of white flowers and they were pretty and some flowers were on sale which is nice. I like this store pretty much and we're coming back probably tomorrow to get more flowers for our garden. five stars for you guys you're awesome . read more

Horrible service. Bought 21 bags of mulch and they guy looked at me in annoyance, rolled his eyes and walked back and stood by the mulch to wait for me to back up. I did and said "is this good?" He again rolled his eyes and said "good enough I guess!" So rude!!! Especially in this economy right now, he's luck to have a job! read more

I was at Houston Garden Center in Tomball, TX by HWY 249, I spoke to a staff explaining that I needed soil for veggie potting. She recommended a garden soil and I purchased it. I realized after I arrive home that garden soil was not recommended for veggie planting pot. I returned the garden soil to the store and was told that ALL SALES ARE FINAL, NO EXCHANGE, NO RETURN as stated on the receipt. I was informed that the staffs are not experts and that the store is CASH and CARRY. I do not understand why the staff is making recommendation when they are clueless about the items at the store. There is no sign anywhere that all sales are final until after you read your sale receipt. I will never patronize the store again. They are deceptive and are solely $$$ focus. read more

This place absolutely "DOES NOT HAVE BETTER PLANTS FOR LESS". Diseased plants. I've never seen so many orchids with so many different diseases. Poor customer service!!! I will never go back!! read more

Do not buy Milkweed plants from here!!! I bought a 3 gallon Milkweed plant yesterday to add to my monarch enclosure. I woke up this morning with green vomit coming out of a few of the caterpillars. After some research I came to realize it was the new plant from here that poisoned my caterpillars! They use pesticides on all their plants! HGC, why would you treat Milkweed with pesticides when it is the only plant monarch caterpillars eat and is pesticides are poisonous to them?!? I literally have to throw that plant away now. read more

So i read all of the reports and most are bad. I have tried to call them multiple times to multiple locations and nobody at their stores will answer the phone. So obviously the bad customer service starts before you even set foot on their property. I will not even make the drive if they cannot take the time to pick up the phone. read more

I am beyond frustrated, disgusted, and saddened. We spend $100+ every year for our tree at Houston Garden Center. My two small children are very sentimental, and adore all things related to Christmas.... including finding the perfect tree. This year, upon bringing our tree home, we found many dead limbs deep in the tree. We trimmed them, and hoped for the best... because we worked so hard to get the tree up to our fourth floor apartment... as it was seven feet tall, and I'm a newly single mom. Then, two weeks later, my son found fungus growing all over our fairly expensive tree (for a single mom that works part-time). We now have a tree that has 2-5 inch strands of fungus on each and every limb. I worry about all of our sentimental ornaments being covered in this stuff. We can't clean many of these ornaments, but my friends and family fear this fungus staying around our environment... and possibly being transferred to a future tree. I tried to call Houston Garden Center repeatedly. No answer. Now, a single mom has to touch all over this fungus to remove ornaments, and carry it down four floors. I bought five brand new strands of lights this year. I don't want to get that intimate with the fungus to retrieve them. That's another $30 I've lost. I'll never buy another tree from them ever again. Unacceptable. read more

Absolutely no one helps you here. They'll look straight at you and never even ask if you need help. I left with zero plants even though I need to relandscape my ENTIRE lawn. None of the signs give you any indication as to what care they need or where you can plant them. Where is there a place near here where they will give you advice?? read more

Their 70% Off sale is not true - it is very selective; it doesn't apply to everything even though the sign implies everything. I bought 6 azaleas with the idea that I could return the ones I didn't want spending over $47. I brought the three I didn't need back and thought I could trade them in on a tree and buy more shrubs, but they refused to exchange or refund. Apparently there is a sign on the cashiers desk that says: "All sales final - no returns, no exchanges". Well, they live by that; no exceptions - not even if you come back to buy hundred dollars in trees or shrubs. Doesn't matter to them; it's their policy. I have always thought plant places were reasonable and would at least exchange something you don't want. It doesn't make sense since they lose no money. Nope not these guys, it is too much work to accomodate the customer. I'll never go back. read more

Decent selection but horrible service. Although there is one or two guys who stock plants and such out in the 'yard' that were friendlier than the inside staff. Never answer the phone either. Tomball location. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. Never answer phone terrible customer service. You have to make trips to see if they have an item in stock

All the reviews I've read on here are exactly what this place is. Thank god I found Eternal Spring Nursery, theyre down the street on boudreaux and they have beautiful plants ! Customer service is excellent, they help you as soon as you get there. Google them ! read more
