We were greeted and ask if we were first-timers we said yes they gave us a little rundown of how they got started. really enjoyed looking around this beautiful place that has been a staple in this community for many years as we didn't buy anything, but the quality of the items were worth the value of each item

This is easily one of the best nurseries in Springfield, if not the best - it's huge, the staff is knowledgeable, and the variety of plants is unrivaled. Plus, it's just a fun place to visit - I genuinely can't think of a place I'd rather spend a free hour at than a giant nursery. What I appreciate about Wickman's is that although you can find slightly cheaper plants at places like Home Depot, the difference in health puts the prices into perspective. I've spent a lot of time fussing over plants from big outdoor stores that pucker and wither soon after being taken home, while their counterparts (same species and everything) from Wickman's thrive. Obviously there could be a lot of reasons for this, but it definitely gives me the perception that Wickman's takes better care of its inventory and grows them well in the first place. That being said, I don't think the price disparity is that much, anyway. Recently I started a pallet garden and was really pleased that I could pick up baby ivy and ferns at Wickman's for about $1.50 a pop. In addition, one of the employees helpfully advised me on how long to keep them isolated until the last frost ends. Buying a bunch of plants with an air of impenetreble knowledge can be futile, so if I don't know how to do something or feel like I'm about to do something wrong, I definitely feel confident asking these employees for tips. At the expense of sounding cheesy, I think part of the reason I like Wickman's so much is because it really is a place that inspires creativity and an appreciation for the earth. You can buy a tiny Venus Flytrap in a cup or plan an entire landscaping project; either way, just about anyone can find something beautiful here.

Things that may trip up the average Joe. He didn't try to lecture us on the history of blah, blah, blah like a lot of experts in their field do. He really let our questions guide the class.

When we inquired after purchasing and bringing the plant home to give to our neighbors as a gift, we called to ask why, and they said they do it all the time with plants that are hard to get! When we phoned Sam's to find out if they had any in stock, they told us they were sold out of the $15.99 Hibiscus. Wheelers charged us $39.00. If we wanted a plant from Sam's Club we would have gone there. We THOUGHT we were buying quality from Wheeler's and that wasn't/isn't the case. Done with them now. I don't trust anything they sell.
