I've flipped 5 houses in Chester County over the last 30 years and just moved into my 6th…read more Landscaping is a big part of what I invest in as I both enjoy it - and I live in the houses as I renovate so I want them to look nice. As a result, I've been to most every gardening place from East Earl, PA to Phoenixville to the old Agway outside West Chester to Malvern - you get the idea. I first started going to mainline gardens about 6 years ago. They had decent pots, expensive, but nice. Then I started buying plants there (mostly annuals for said pots) and they were nice enough. Now I would normally go on weekdays so I was dealing with the core crew and not the weekend staff. This spring I've been there twice (once in April and once in May) looking specifically for small perennials with varying sunlight requirements. This is the first time I've ever visited this nursery looking at things through that lens and it was beyond disappointing. The weekend staff are probably largely college aged and know absolutely nothing about the plants. They have a covered area in the back where one would assume the shade loving plants would be kept, but nope - it's a complete hodgepodge of anything from full sun to shade and seemingly no rhyme or reason to how it's organized. Yesterday I went to find a Japanese maple. All of their trees and shrubs are in full sun. Some are marked with explanatory tags that tell you about the plant, but just as many are not. I found the perfect red maple, in full sun, and stupidly assumed it was therefor a full sun plant. It isn't. So I spent $200 on a tree that won't work for where I bought it because they have no organization for their plants around sun requirements. So the take-a-way on this is - don't expect knowledgeable staff on the weekend. Don't assume they're doing any intentional placement of their inventory and go in prepared to look things up on your phone as needed. The reason I gave them 2 stars, is that in comparison to every other nursery I go to - they arrange things according to sun requirements. Shade plants are kept under cover and full sun are not. So, caveat emptor.

I've spent hundreds of dollars at this garden center over the past 20 years. I've never complained…read moreof a perennial or shrub did not do well/survive. I came here today to request a replacement for a guaranteed shrub. It was my understanding that a replacement or refund would be given in this circumstance. But no. I was told the problem iis a result of all the rain. I was given Neem oil and told to treat it. The shrub is supposedly guaranteed for a year, so if it doesn't come back to life before one year, too bad for me. I have lots of reward bucks that I had planned to use today to purchase perennials and annuals, but after this experience I won't be buying anything more at Colonial. Ever. While I appreciate the response from Casey, as I've thought more about this, the main thing that disturbs me is that Eric could have done the appropriate,, pro-customer service response to a 20-year-long customer, he chose to dismiss my concern and argue his point that it was just a treatable disease, while I was very expressing distress having a failing shrub in my otherwise well-tended garden. It would have cost him nearly nothing to make me happy, and generously offer to replace the $60 (!) shrub, instead he opted to be obstinate and provide me with a bunch of worthless platitudes about the analogy between teenagers and plants. So, now, instead of spending my $700 yearly garden budget at Colonial, I'll spend it at another garden center. (And, if today's interaction was any indication, Eric will probably say "good riddance.")
