I've driven past here a thousand times and never went inside. I'm quite familiar with the original…read morelocation in Alsip, Illinois. Today, I was eating breakfast at Round the Clock on Rt. 30 in Schererville. I was seated next to a guy at the counter and we got on the subject of weed and feed and our disappointment with Scott's lawn care products. It seems like a common complaint these days that what used to take one treatment to kill weeds with Scott's, now seems to be a losing proposition. This man told me he liked the products available at Alsip Nursery, the brands they carried. With this fresh bit of information, I headed out to Alsip Nursery down Rt. 41. I went inside and was immediately impressed with how pristine, spacious and organized the interior of this business is. I was greeted by a bearded young man who was so knowledgeable of the fertilizers, weed/crabgrass control items as well all the beautiful plants displayed. This man stayed with me, finding the only bottle left for the certain type of crabgrass I had. He truly represents Alsip Greenhouses very well. Contrary to some of the negative reviews I have read here, NONE of them applied to my first time at Alsip Greenhouse. The prices ARE NOT out of line or expensive for the quality, variety or selection of the plants and merchandise offered. I bought a Picollo Banda plant! Personally, I have a long history of working in greenhouses and owned my own florist in downtown Chicago for 35 years, my eyes tell me that Alsip Greenhouse is an outstanding, quality local business that should be supported to the fullest by the community. I most definitely will return to Alsip Greenhouse and Nursery, I was very impressed. Great customer service! Exceptional quality! You'd be a fool not to do business at Alsip Greenhouse and Nursery. Highly Recommended!!!

However, after surfing the internet several times, the only place I could find locally to shop water plant containers was Alsip. I don't have a pond and a beginner with containers, but discovered it's next to impossible to find a container with appropriate width and depth for water plants. I finally found an employee I thought might help, but he was obviously disinterested and waved his hand to one aisle and swept across another for pots and tubs. When I tried to get information on the container I hoped might work, he just explained it was plastic (made to look like concrete). No information on the label--lucky to find the size. For the price, I hope it'll get through more than one season!

Spring of 2023 comes around and they decided to do a spring treatment even though I cancelled over the phone and removed my credit card from their website. I called them and told them I didn't authorize the treatment and they insisted I pay since they didn't have a record of my cancelation. If you decide to roll the dice with this company, DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!! I was stupid for not insisting on a confirmation of my cancelled service. They got an extra $125 out of me for work I didn't approve - and don't tell them you're not paying it, they will attempt to take you to collections!

The store is welcoming and most times has everything you need. I have done online store pick up ordering. You should call and check if what your ordering is in stock. Sometimes the website says they have it, but when you get there they don't. So don't trust the website. They do go out of their way to help you. One thing I think they REALLY should consider is to add some type of way to contact an employee if you are busy washing your dog. One time, the tub was backed up with hair in the drain. I had to take my long haired dog, sopping wet, out of the tub, take out the heavy drain mat and pull all the hair out. It was a mess. I'm 70 years old. LOL OH and one more thing, I checked the air intake on the dryer, it had inches of hair all stuck to it. That will burn it out. Remind the employees that clean up to check the dryers for that.

General admission includes little rides, the animals, corn maze, and hay rides. This used to be a la carte, and for just adults it was great. There is no minimum age for children, so sadly we still paid to carry our baby. You can still shop at the farm market for pumpkins, gourds, apples, coffee, donuts, and corn without paying the general admission fee. However, BBQ food truck, chocolate dipped strawberries, and soft pretzels are only inside the gate. Pumpkins and hard squash in 2022 are $0.49/lb. Parking is plentiful and we enjoyed being in a small crowd at noon on Sunday. TL;DR: Good outing for families with grade school kids.
