I stopped by one of my favorite stores in the Berkshires yesterday, and it felt quite nostalgic to…read morebe back. For quite some time, I used to come here with a friend or by myself, pick up a complementary map of Kennedy Park, and go for a little hike. The entrance to the park is right at the store's parking lot, which makes it especially convenient. The map shows the different trails throughout the park, and I would choose one and enjoy a leisurely hike. A nice lady warmly greeted me when I walked in. I browsed around the store for a while but didn't end up purchasing anything this time. I did notice their wonderful selection of hiking shoes displayed along the back wall, which caught my attention. Over the years, I've purchased quite a few items from this store, so it was nice to return and browse once again. It was wonderful to revisit a place that brought back such pleasant memories of those hikes, as well as some enjoyable shopping experiences over the years.

This sports shop is just top notch. They came highly recommended by my dad and once I walked in,…read moretheir customer service totally proved his glowing review right. I came in to drop off my snowboard for repair and after looking it over the next day, they told me the honest truth that it was a bit too of a complex repair for them to trust that it was stick long term. They suggested for the price it would cost to make it perfect, given the year of the board (2017), I'd be better off getting a new board and pocketing the difference. I appreciated how up front they were and headed their advice! I'll be running the board through it's final paces this season and getting a new one come spring. Even beyond repairs, this shop has it all. From kayaks to climbing gear, skis to paddle boards, they've got everything you need to enjoy the outdoors for all four seasons.

I must keep this simple otherwise I will end up writing a book here. The short version here is…read more.. This was probably the best experience I've had buying anything that cost $100 or more. This includes anywhere online as well. Dave C. (the owner) treated me like a long lost brother he had never met before and, well... I'm practically dumbfounded by the hospitality afforded by this man. I could not be happier or more impressed with the purchase and service from him and the cool folks that work for him. They all know what they are talking about and what they're doing and if you are in the market for anything they sell, don't even hesitate because you are just wasting time. And you're so very welcome in advance! I can't understand how anyone would be disappointed doing business there I'm Buck and thanks again Dave and crew!

They bought my first board from them in 2001, and have continued to buy anything I can from them because of the customer service and care for their community. Bill and his staff have always been so helpful in guiding me in my purchases to ensure I get the best equipment for my needs. I am working with Bill right now to purchase a new board from them even though I live in Scottsdale, AZ now. He's been great steering me away from companies that aren't producing great stuff anymore, and introducing me to better options that I will enjoy more. I really can't say enough great things about The Garden. I will ALWAYS buy my gear from them as long as I can. Thanks Bill and Team!

I called the store and spoke to a gentleman who had the manager call me to troubleshoot. Luke was amazing. He went above and beyond what I expected to ship me a bike to where I am in California. I only wish I wasn't across the country so I could go in person to thank him for everything he did to get me this bike. I would gladly purchase more bikes from The Garden.. not only to support a small business but because of the wonderful experience as well!!
